This hand-made orca necklace was made in memory of Tokitae/Lolita.
Toki took her last breath on the 18th of August 2023. After 53 long years of sentence for a crime she never committed her suffering ended.
Tokitae was one of the most famous orcas in the world but for all the wrong reasons. She was abducted from her family when she was only a small calf, she spent over half a century in a tank that violates the U.S. Animal Welfare Act and the last time she saw another one of her own species was in 1970 when Hugo her tankmate committed suicide by ramming his head into the tank walls.
This wooden collection is dedicated to this brave girl who taught so many of us about the dark corners of captivity, human greed, and ignorance. She will never be forgotten. We keep fighting in her memory.
