Check out the bottom of the blog....right hand side. There is a link for a new petition to retire Lolita from the Miami Seaquarium to her native waters, where her original pod awaits her. Before you sign, read the petition, because the plans aren't just to dump her back into the sea. This is a thought out plan of action... and there is a plan if in the worse case scenario, her pod does not accept her, (or, she does not accept her pod). The plans to retire Lolita are obviously more extensive than can fit on this petition, but at least you can get the idea... and a protected sea pen is a LOT better than the illegal size tank she is living in now.
As for her health, reports from sources watching inside the park say that they have been able to hear Lolita breathing and blowing through her air-hole the last few days. There is still a lot of security apparently in the park, especially around her tank- and no shows that I have heard of have been rescheduled. I read today on Orca Network via Facebook, (which has done a great job of keeping everyone up to date as best they can on her health via people that volunteer their time to go and watch Lolita and the atmosphere in and around the Miami Seaquarium), that Lolita was seen today jumping for trainers and that the steps around her tank were being painted.
Any more info that I find out, I will be sure to pass on... but for now, it seems that Lolita is holding on.
Until Next Time....
Keep holding on Lolita... We're looking out for you......
