With your support, we can help her View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]John,

Now more than 50 years old, Lolita has lived at the Miami Seaquarium since her
capture from Puget Sound in 1970.

Lolita is kept in too small a space which also fails to provide sufficient
shelter from the sun. She has also been deprived of proper orca companionship
since 1980, when her last companion, Hugo, rammed his own head against the tank’s wall
until he died.

John, your gift to the Animal Legal Defense Fund
today will make twice the impact on our fight to help Lolita — and all of our
important legal work on behalf of abused, neglected, and exploited animals
across the country.

The conditions Lolita is being kept in are clear violations of the Animal
Welfare Act (AWA), but despite the legal protection Lolita is entitled to under the AWA, the USDA
failed to enforce the law and rubber-stamped the park’s license — allowing the
Seaquarium to continually harm Lolita without facing consequences.

The captivity of wild animals like Lolita in cruel conditions is the result of a
legal system that too often regards animals as mere property.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund filed an appeal after a district court dismissed
our lawsuit against the USDA for unlawfully transferring the park’s license to a
new owner without requiring AWA compliance — we refuse to give up the fight for
Lolita, but we need your help to win.

DOUBLE MY GIFT
[[link removed]]Please make a gift today and every dollar you contribute will be matched up to

October 31.

Animals need our help, John.
