The Campaign

Lolita needs our support now more than ever. We refuse to standby and watch her die in that pathetic little tank. For 20 years the Humane Society, marine biologists, and release specialists such as Ric O'Barry and Howard Garrett have championed the cause.

Now Orca Network, Dolphin Project, Orca Conservancy, The Center for Whale Research, Dolphin Freedom Foundation, RTC Productions, and many others are pooling our resources. With the Support of Washington State government, and the people of Miami we are raising national awareness to Lolita's little known dilemma and will ultimately achieve her retirement to her home waters in Puget Sound.

Orca Biologist Ken Balcomb's Comprehensive Plan for Lolita's Retirement

With your help we will make this happen. Through educational outreach, film screenings and guest appearences at middle schools, high schools, and colleges around the world we are raising awareness about these intelligent social animals. And the corruption which keeps them trapped in a net of lies.

The public has the power to make a diference in Lolita's life. By educating our children properly we can empower them to make their own educated decisions. And by standing together, boycotting the companies that exploit marine life, and demanding the retirement of aging performers we can make a difference in all their lives. Lolita's family is waiting for her in Puget Sound and we are determined to see that she comes home. Join the good fight: the fight for respect, honor, admiration, and justice. Before its too late.

If you would like to screen Lolita: STE at your school or event, by all means please do. All we ask is that you contact and provide us with the details prior to the screening so that we may update our database.
