Mother’s Day Demo for Lolita!

This is L-25, “Ocean Sun” from the Southern Resident community of Orca’s off the Coast of Washington State. She is thought to be Lolita’s mother, and had her 4-6 year old daughter taken away from her in 1970. On this Mother’s Day, Sunday May 10, 2009 we will be out to raise awareness about this tragedy and promote Lolita’s retirement into a baypen where she would be able to interact with and if she chooses to do so, rejoin her pod including her mother. Orca’s have family bonds stronger than some humans, staying with their mother’s and families their entire life. Bring Mom and celebrate this Mother’s Day together protesting for Lolita to be able to someday return home to her mother, instead of being isolated in her tiny concrete tank. This demo is held in conjunction with Orca Network. (www.orcanetwork.org)
