“16,425 Days a Slave” campaign.
Our goal to deliver a large package containing 16,425 printed letters to commemorate the 16,425 days that Lolita has been kept in captivity may seem ambitious. But together we can do this.
Tell Palace Entertainment (owners of the Miami Seaquarium) that it is time for Lolita to be granted retirement to her home waters.
