ANIMAL CRUELTY: UPDATE

Tony, a Siberian-Bengal Tiger, lives a dismal life as a roadside attraction at a truck stop in Louisiana. He has been there for over a decade, imprisoned in a cloud of diesel fumes and constantly taunted by visitors. Tony’s heartless owner is using his power and influence in the state to keep this hapless tiger captive in his concrete cage.
Lolita is one of the orcas kidnapped in the horrific 1970 Penn Cove roundup in Puget Sound where four other members of her family drowned in the capture nets. Orcas are highly social and live in large family groups, but Lolita lives in isolation from other orcas at the Miami Seaquarium, where she swims tiny circles in a shallow, barren tank. Her shameful living conditions violate both the Endangered Species Act and the Animal Welfare Act—yet she remains imprisoned.
