So,
you want to help Lolita and the other captives at
the Seaquarium?
Please call write and email each
person at each agency below and strongly request
that action be taken to ensure public safety at
the Miami seaquarium. Ask why Dade County Building
and Zoning and Fire Marshal are allowing the Seaquarium
to "slide by," endangering the lives of
paying customers.

Explain
to them that if the Miami Seaquarium can not meet
2004 safety and fire code standards the park should
not be permitted to remain open to the public.
