In 1996, whale biologist Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research played an audio recording of Lolita’s pod next to her pool at the Miami Seaquarium, where she has been held captive since being kidnapped in 1970. When Lolita heard the vocalizations, she rose out of the water to get closer to the sounds that she appeared to recognize.
Lolita listens to vocalizations of her pod.
Like Lolita, all animals communicate with each other, but they can’t speak human languages. If they could, what would they say to the people have robbed them of everything that makes life worth living?
“I’m a wild animal. Please send me home to Africa.”
“Don’t grind me. I’m just a baby.”
“Have mercy on me. I am innocent”
“What are you doing to my friend?”
“I am in agony. Somebody help me.”
“Take these blinders off of me and look into my eyes.”
“We can’t breathe in here.” (photo: Animals Australia)
“Please take me home to my family. I don’t belong in a pool.”
“I don’t belong in a concrete pit.”
“Please don’t attack me. I haven’t done anything wrong.” (photo: SHARK)
“Somebody help me! This steel trap is tearing apart my leg.”
“Please tell the others to get me out of this zoo. I am not an exhibit.”
“Are you really skinning me alive?”
“You’re choking me!”
“How can you set me on fire? Put it out!”
“I am going insane in this cage.”
“I saw what you did to the others. Please don’t kill me.”
“It hurts when you insert a metal pipe down my throat to force feed me.”
“I belong in a forest in Asia with my family, not in a box car.” (photo: PETA)
“Haven’t you stabbed me enough already?”
“I am not a TV stand.”
“Do I look like I belong here?”
“You’ve taken everything from us for your palm oil.”
“How do I open this thing?”
BRAVO, JACK SANSO!

Wowza! Incredible photo essay. I wish every sp[eciesist I know could see this.
When people go around saying “Peace on Earth” in this holiday season, too bad they don’t mean non-human animals, too. People who think that they’re good people because they go to church, synagogue or other places of worship, think it’s perfectly alright to be cruel to animals. Unfortunately, Earth won’t be a paradise as long as cruel, self-centered and thoughtless humans are around.
I agree!! How can people say they have a good heart if they murder innocent animals while listening to their screams!.how dare they!.if they could only feel what they did to them, they would think twice!! Good people do not hurt animals..
Animals are more intelligent that humans are… WAIT – we’re animals too. WHEN are we going to start treating each other – and all other species – as our EQUALS instead of as our slaves?
