VICTORY: After years of PETA protests, the Miami Seaquarium’s lease is finally being terminated! Miami-Dade County announced the decision, which requires the animal prison to relinquish the property to its owner by April 21, 2024. PETA’s response to the news? “The world watched as the Miami Seaquarium let the lone orca Lolita waste away and die, allowed animals to eat trash in crumbling enclosures, and ignored its attending veterinarian’s instructions until she finally resigned—but now the world can cheer at the news that help is finally on the way for the long-suffering animals held captive there. After more than 50 years of miserable animals and false promises to clean up its act, the Seaquarium’s impending shutdown is overdue, and PETA looks to Miami-Dade County authorities to keep up the good work by ensuring that these animals are sent to reputable facilities where they’ll get the care they so desperately need.” We invite Miami Seaquarium on to respond. So, what will happen to the animals still at Seaquarium? And, what about SeaWorld? PETA’s Amanda Brody brings us the very latest! To get involved, visit: https://www.peta.org/
