What is Miami Seaquarium?
{{Orphan|date=May 2009}} [[Image:Miami Oceanarium.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The dolphin show at the '''''Miami Seaquarium''''']] The '''Miami Seaquarium''' is an [[aquarium]] on [[Virginia Key]], in [[Miami]], [[Florida]]. The park has animals such as [[dolphin]]s, [[whales]], [[snakes]], [[crocodiles]], [[alligator]]s, [[sharks]], [[fish]], [[parrots]], [[turtles]] or [[sea turtle]]s, etc. It has been open since 1955. The main attraction is Lolita, the world's oldest captive [[orca]]. She is now the park's only orca. Animal rights activists have long argued that the tank does not meet federal minimum requirements ([[Animal_Welfare_Act_of_1966|Animal Welfare Act]]). The USDA has recently made statements in support of the activists' argument.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/arts/kate-del-castillo-calls-for-miami-seaquarium-boycott-over-lolita-the-orca-whale-9384737|title= Livid ver Lolita's continued captivity, celebrities call for cboycott of Miami Seaquarium|publisher= Miami New Times|accessdate=12 June 2017}}</ref><ref name=MNT2>{{cite web|url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/arts/usda-officials-say-lolitas-tank-at-miami-seaquarium-may-violate-federal-law-9402277|title= USDA Officials say Lolita's tank at Miami Seaquarium might miolate Federal Law|publisher= Miami New Times|accessdate=12 June 2017}}</ref> However, Lolita is a special case. == References == {{reflist}} {{commons category}} {{-}} {{US-stub}} [[Category:Aquariums]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Miami]] [[Category:1955 establishments in the United States]] [[Category:1950s establishments in Florida]]
