Maddalena Bearzi, marine biologist, behavioral ecologist, and wonderful writer about animals, has an op-ed out in the LA Times about Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut, the name given to her by the Lummi nation, otherwise known as Lolita the imprisoned orca: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-08-05/orcas-whale-capture-lolita-miami-florida-tokitae
She was taken from a pod in the PNW 50 years ago and lives alone in a tank.
Bearzi studies dolphins in the wild and has directly observed this animal in captivity, and shares her knowledge and understanding with us so we may better empathize with and find understanding of non-human animals.
She's also the author of Stranded, which helps folks do the same for less charismatic, backyard beasties! https://www.heydaybooks.com/catalog/stranded/
