"Freeing Lolita: The Ethical and Practical Challenges of Releasing Captive Whales

April 3, 2023

In this episode of the Animals To The Max Podcast, I chat with author and former Seaworld Trainer, Mark Simmons. We discuss Lolita, the famous Killer Whale who has been living at the Miami Seaquarium for 50 years, and how she has been making headlines, as the Miami Seaquarium has announced they plan to return her to the wild in the Pacific Northwest. Lolita, whose health has been failing since December, is no longer on public display or doing shows. Is this a publicity stunt? Is returning her the best option? Will she survive the long move? Is this ethical? We discuss it all this week’s podcast!

In this episode, I sit-down with certified vet technician, Danielle Coffman. Danielle talks about how an early encounter with a manatee at SeaWorld, led her down a path of wanting to pursue a career working with animals. She has worked with many exotics including Killer Whales, Nile Crocodiles, manatees, tropical fish, elephants, and rhinos. If you’ve ever wanted insight of what it’s like working in a vet-related field, THIS is the podcast for you!
