Lolita Update #111
How you can help September 13th!
September 7, 2009

Dear Friends of Lolita~

Have you ever wanted to tell the Seaquarium what you think about their refusal to let Lolita retire? Sunday, September 13th is the time to join many others and let them know how you feel.
Anyone from around the world can help! You do not need to live in Florida to help Lolita, any more than you need to live in Taiji to help the dolphins!

This event is scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2009. We are asking people to call, fax, email, or snail mail the Miami Seaquarium and tell them it is time for her to retire!
September 14th marks 39 years Lolita has been at Seaquarium. She has well earned her retirement!

Ways you can help
Call them all day! (if you don't get through, call again after 5 mins) - (305) 361-5705
Leave a acomment in their Comment Box!

Send them a snail-mail letter, as well
Miami Seaquarium
4400 Rickenbacker Causeway
Key Biscayne, FL 33149

Need an idea of what to say on the phone or in your letter or comment?
"Please retire Lolita the killer whale. I understand she is important to your business, but she has been in the same illegally sized, small tank for 39 years now. Her family is still alive in the wild and there are thousands of people willing to pay for her retirement. Captive dolphins and whales have been released before very successfully and Lolita is a great candidate. Until she is retired, my family and I have decided to boycott Miami Seaquarium."

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! LOLITA NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Shelby adds:
You have the power to help Lolita get retired back into her natural surroundings where she can be with her family. Please take the time to pass this info on to people you know who may be interested, and please let us know you've contacted the Seaquarium. Also feel free to record yourself calling the Seaquarium or make a small video saying how you feel about Lolita and that you support her retirement then send them to me and I will make an international collage of everyone.
