Setting Lolita Free
Lolita is an endangered southern Orca being
held in captivity. Daily she is crying out
to her pod vainly.
For whenever she out in her tears,
her pod family is unable to hear.
Her keepers are not cruel to her.
And they are giving her the best of
physical care. Whenever she has
a medical need, her on call veterinarian,
is always there.
They are providing all the free fish
she is able to eat, and keep her tank
very neat.
But her keepers do not really understand.
Why Lolita prefers the companionship
of her pod family to compassionate humanity.
Can anybody tell me why complete freedom
belongs to only the human race?
Do not Orca's such as Lolita
deserve their own aquatic space?
If they really cared about Lolita,
they would listen to concerned people
such as me, and finally set their
captive Orca free!
Love as always,
