We will not allow her life to be treated as an experiment and we will not jeopardize her health by considering such a risky move.Ī recent news article that published in The Miami Herald, whose reporter spoke to a dozen experts on killer whales around the nation including experts without a stake in Lolita’s case, advised against moving Lolita. Moving Lolita to Puget Sound, what is now a foreign environment to her, would not only expose her to a wide variety of new health threats, but doing so could pose the same risks to the wild killer whale population.
However, the members of the Lummi Business Council are not marine mammal experts and are misguided when they offer a proposal that is not in the best interest of Lolita the orca.Īs we have stated repeatedly, it would be reckless and cruel to risk her life by moving her from her home solely to satisfy the desire of those who do not understand or care that such a move would jeopardize her life and the life of the other killer whales in Puget Sound. Miami Seaquarium has the utmost respect for the Lummi Nation and the services that the Lummi Business Council provides to its people.
