ALICE’S STORY
Tara Strong narrates the story of Alice, a coyote, in this edition of Draw My Life. Coyotes are trapped and killed and their fur is used to trim winter jackets for companies. Canada Goose used to line their hoods with coyote fur, but not long after this video was made, the company banned fur!
DOT’S STORY
After hearing Dot’s story, you’ll never see animals used in films & TV the same way.
Dot used to live like a real dog, but then she was “trained” to be one you see in movies. The heartbreak she experiences behind the scenes will forever change how you see Hollywood.

LOLITA’S STORY
Lolita, the Orca, narrated her story about being ripped from her family in the ocean as a young calf, and held captive in the world’s tiniest tank for over 50 years. If Lolita could tell you her tragic story from beginning to end, it would look a little something like this.
LOLITA’S STORY EN ESPAÑOL
Ana Maria Polo lent her voice to narrate the story of Lolita the orca. As Lolita, Polo recounts how she was separated from her family in the wild in 1970 and taken to the Miami Seaquarium. "It's not a home, it's a prison," she explains.
When she lived in the ocean, she could swim more than a hundred miles and dive deep underwater. Today she lives in the smallest orca tank in the world that is only as deep as her body length.
