"Orca Lolita to be Released from Miami Seaquarium to Puget Sound"

Lolita, the killer whale also known as Tokitae, will be released to her native waters after more than 50 years in captivity at the Miami Seaquarium. The move comes after an outcry from animal rights advocates who complained that an animal from the ocean should not be kept in a small tank. The Dolphin Company, which operates the Seaquarium, Miami-Dade County, and animal rights advocates have agreed to a "binding agreement" to release the orca. Lolita's relocation could cost up to eight figures and may require the use of a 747 plane or a C-17 military plane.
