We’re often asked what our goal is with the Miami Seaquarium and how we’re achieving this.
Our primary goal is to continue advocating for the immediate relocation of Tokitae the killer whale and Li’i the Pacific white-sided dolphin from the Whale Bowl to an intermediary tank, preferably a newly constructed standalone tank, where they can continue to receive medical care in a clean, safe environment that affords them the dignity they deserve.
Our secondary goal is to advocate for the other animals at the park, and this involves documenting the continuing decline of the park that begin in 2015, when much of the $17 million allocated for improvements to the Seaquarium was reassigned to its sister park in Antibes, France following devastating damage caused by local storms.
Because the animals at the Seaquarium are considered assets, meaning that business decisions play a critical role in the park’s animal welfare actions, we are inspecting verifiable publicly available documentation on the companies and groups involved. These include legacy media, court documents, municipal records, and federal, state, and provincial documents from throughout the globe.
One of the companies we are examining is The Dolphin Company. We present here some of the thousands of pages of documentation that we have acquired. All of the following documents are publicly available via courts or government agencies, none are from FOIA requests. We are presenting the full documents, along with guides as to where we located them. We are not presenting commentary here. We leave things for readers to make their own conclusions.
