- Tilikum the orca has died after more than two decades at SeaWorld Orlando, where he gained notoriety for killing a trainer in 2010. It comes as SeaWorld San Diego closes down its theatrical orca shows. Carter Evans reports.
He lived his life in a tiny, chemically treated pool. That’s like us living our life in a closet filled with smoke.
amazing High I.Q. comparison....
@@ThePeaceofWildThings Funny I barley fit in a tub but they have enough room to swim around, terrible comparison. I'm not arguing Seaworlds ethics at this point. I'm arguing your intelligence or lack there of.
I only Converse with my peers, Which you are not.
@Speak The Truth Should have studied the English language better.
Devil Z is obviously a troll. Pay it no mind.
It wasn't Tilikum who killed the trainer, it was Sea World.
Doing tricks and not getting fish, what did they expect? Who would work for free? I’m not saying him killing her was okay but he was clearly angry by the injustice and rightfully so. Also they act like these animals are vegetarian, should have never been In each other’s paths.
Yes. They violated various laws and basically tortured the animal so much that it go angry.
@@veganari4736 Exactly. And it was Sea World who ran that whole operation.
It was Tilikum
Orcas never attack humans in the wild.
The fact that the Sea World is still operational is so disgusting. People, stop buying tickets to these sick places.
“That poor girl” yes I understand and I do feel bad for the trainer who’s life was taken but let’s be honest those poor whales they don’t deserve to be held captive and forced to preform just for money.
she has a name
Jesus ..they aren't mutually exclusive and the anthropomorphism of these animals is creating people with sick priorities. The whale stuff sucks and is bad. But that "woman" is your fellow human, and I wonder if you'd feel the same if it was your friend/family. Do better that's gross
Sick how people feel more for a whale than a human
The trainer has something to do with this
She has everything to do with it
Its sad that she died, but she knew the risks and putting her life at risk. Whales are not meant to be held in tanks and trained for shows. They are wild creatures that belong in the ocean. That whale suffered abuse for many years for them to make money.
“iTs wAs hoRriBle hoW tHe oRcA wAs kilLing tHe GirL”
And it’s horrible how sea world ABUSES whales :)
So u think it was good the girl is dead
@@samuraiisalmighty4917 He never said that. He simply said that it was only a matter of time.
Periodt
no one cares
@@diorno27 family of the Employee does. Oh well
thank god - finally his torture is over
Agree totally so sad he is gone but he will be at peace now and finally free from sea world
@pipsqueak 2008 um no...they're not endangered in the wild at all. sea world steals them from their natural habitat and forces them into a life of misery. how about you actually do research before making claim.
Exactly it's an animal. We could easily just eat it.
@pipsqueak 2008 uuuuummm nope he was tortured
pipsqueak 2008 WTF YOU MEANN!!??!? Do you not see their fins! The top fin is bent!!!!! That means bad health!!!!! Omfg! You’re so dumb!!
I know it's been four years, but I hope he's finally found peace, especially since he's no long confined to that horrible concrete prison.
Yes. I remember feeling almost a relief for him when I heard he passed. He’s no longer suffering. I can only imagine the agony he was in for far too many years
"HE Mutilated that poor girl." That poor whale snapped for a reason. Keeping wild animals out of their natural habitat will no doubt make them go cabin fever.
"In a more natural setting." Nope. Nothing is natural about being trapped in a limited space, no matter how big that tank is, it's still limited.
Water Nebula okay. 😒
Water Nebula well space is infinite.. so...
MagmaFire Shark But the whale lived on Earth so....
Universe aint infinite
MJ JUNG very true and it's very disturbing.
you are finally where you belong, free...
Cristian Seitz Dicks out for Tilikum.
Cristian Seitz yep
nooooooooo my favorite orca
Cristian Seitz I know sea world is helping them I thought the same we need to be sad that orca orca die
Yep there in a happy place were they can swim wherever they want
RIP Tilly. I’m sorry you were captured, stuck in a little pool and forced to perform for entertainment purposes. You were a beautiful creature! And will be forever a sea world legend🐋💙😔😭
They took tilikum when he was 2 years.. he cried when he was captured this animal lived a very very sad life my heart cries
People are going crazy about a week in a quarantine hotel. This is the whales’ life daily.
@Marc Woolward Read or watch the news.
@@missrandom6980 good job 👍
@Marc Woolward no offense but just try to imagine that you are in your school toilet the smallest one living in that tiny space for 33 years 🤫and you can't eat that much 🥰
@Marc Woolward don't get mad 🥺
@@missrandom6980 that’s actually terrible advice the news lies about almost everything
Orcas should be able to live in their own habitat
Macy Cx Id rather spend thousands of dollars and see animals in their natural habitat.
I'm going to universal studios not sea world
He was just used for his sperm to make offspring for these peoples deeds. Disgusting.
Orcas*
Like beggar!
So when is SeaWorld gonna be held accountable
Tortured and harrased mercilessly for entertainment is disgusting and disgraceful. RIP Tilikum.
My 6th grade teacher showed us the blackfish documentary. We had a field trip to the zoo later that year. Everyone in my class refused to see the animals and sat in the food area during the trip. It affected how we saw the world even though we were only 12.
But SeaWorld is not a zoo it's a themepark, Don't base what you saw in blackfish defy what you see somewhere else zoos and SeaWorld are 2 different places
🐬
Jody Doherty They can send them to a private sanctuary :)
Dude zoos are far from SeaWorld and do much more to rehabilitate and help the animals
Shove a tampon in it good God
i can’t believe people are still going to sea world to this day with wild orcas still captive...
Listen some of them actually has no idea how cruel they are!! Like at first all i wanted in my life was to go see orca at sea world cs i thought they keep it safe & healthy so that we won't have to go see it in the ocean..bt after watching some you tube video ..i came back to senses.. Now i am aggressively against any marine animal captivity ..so what we should do is raise our voice ..do protest in front of those sea world & actually try to make people see the pain & sadness in it!! Okay?
why has sea world not closed and why is it still legal for them to keep orcas captive, this makes 0 sense to me
I was shocked when I found out this still happens, I don’t understand how it’s still legal when there’s so much evidence now more than ever on how bad this is
Tbh I never wanted to go but I was forced to go with my parents. They are blind asf and think that going to places like that are fun when really, it's a dark place for the animals.
@@kairi5792 same. My friend was like leta go to sea world. It's been my dream for 5 years now. I showed him blackfish. I hope he changes his mind. SeaWorld is so horrible
Tilikum (while dragging Dawns body) :
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??!!
He lived his whole life suffering at the hands of humans
....thats not fair for him to suffer and basically died depressed
Yea people who supporting the businesses need to know seaworld is a shady business. Animal abuse for profit
no one cares
@@diorno27 you care though . replying to multiple comments. you have to care.
MAS • no one cares
@@diorno27 oh you care? thanks
I know it’s been a while, but RIP Tilly.
He’s in heaven now, swimming with his friends and eating lots of fish.
Lol that was funny and sad at the same time
Eating lots of trainers !
So he's in heaven killing other fish?
UMM... I believe when you go to heaven you don't eat and the fish cant die soo...?
In an ocean
I know this is old. That poor orca. His life was hell. I’m glad he’s at peace now.
Glad he passed. Life in captivity is worse than death. Heaven's a better place to be than those abusive marine animal shows.
I'm crying, tilitkum would be alive healthy with his pod today and for a long time yet. But sea world they took it away from him. They killed him.
Kylah Gunn ikr Stupid People!!
Watch Blackfish if you haven't yet it's a good documentary and sad at the same time and it explains quite a bit about him
rob tucc the most dangerous documentaries are those that mix some truth with a lot of misinformation. That’s exactly what Blackfish is.
Independent1 I would agree with that. What misinformation r u speaking of
HE HAD A SICKNESS .
He should have been in the wild, and died where he should have lived. Orcas are not for our entertainment. They are living intelligent beings that deserve to live in the wild.
Exactly 😢
Mary T. Sorry but we are humans. All animals are here for our entertainment.
Yes..... humans are greedy for money...
Mary T. Ahhh shaddup you know you watched the show before jajajaja
Rattlesnake Jake Explores The Internet yes
I went to one of these shows 20 years ago and will never go back.
If sea world had left him in the ocean, Tilly would still be alive along with three other people.
Poor Tilly. He suffered for the entirety of his life. May he rest in peace❤️
Poor young lady who lost her life
@@canadamonroe6229...
:(
Poor lady who died you quack
He died never again feeling the ocean's waves. Disgraceful!
36 years old he was so young 😠 considering their life span can go up to 100
They try to say they only live till 35. It's BS. 😡
They do not typically live to 100. The ONE who MIGHT have been that old was only a guess.
Males is 50/60 years and females upto a honderd
@@liamliam1187 WHY exactly do female orca dolphins live longer than males?
Have scientists discovered any information on this longevity?
A Male orca does not live up to 100 years.... 30 years is the average... He lived the same years he would have in the wild... do your research before typing
They simply should not keep Orca's in captivity, period... I will NEVER go near or or support any "show" of that nature.
It’s been a long time but I miss you tilly we are fighting for justice.We are protesting against this situation.They tried to block out everything in the last but we will never forget you! I love you miss you and will never forget you.
Love, Kelsey!
This is so sad. And when seaworld separates the mother from their child... absolutely heartbreaking. It's crazy how greed spoils people.
i agree, it is very sad, what is also sad is when people can relate to whale 'feelings' but not so much poc's 'feelings' and we're actually human!
Separating an animal from its mother is the cruelest thing you can do, regardless of the species.
Yes, and that's exactly what happens to cow calves when they're separated from their mothers and get to live aproximately 6 months before they're slaughtered so that people can eat veal.
@@rainers.2080 but food is different....
@@BRPJR I really hope you're kidding
They literally used him to death. Sad life.
Even knowing Tilikum previous attacks they kept him because of his sperm.
@@vic7939 Yeah even watching that scene in Blackfish when they were collecting his sperm just looked sickening to me. That's all they cared about.
@@vic7939 His attacks have nothing to do with the sperm. It's like saying his sperm produces aggressive orcas, that makes no sense. Any orca would be aggressive under those circumstances. He basically is a prisoner held against his own free will, which would to be free. Have you seen the beginning of how they caught him and separated him from his mother??? Have you seen the movie? Orcas swim for so many miles, and what they have done by capturing orcas is horrible. I don't blame the orca for attacking the so-called trainers, because that is not how an orca should ever live.
@@Yin-Yang-444 nobody said that
Yes they did.
You know how awful many of us have felt in quarantine? These animals have suffered worse than that everyday for decades.
the orca has been depressed most of his life because he was captive.
These places just need to be closed. I can’t believe they even exist
These places are awesome! I try to visit them at least once a month.
@@henkjan997 You're part of the problem. They are not awesome. Animals are not meant to be kept in tiny cages like this, especially not orcas. Do you even know how they treat these animals? How they even started getting orcas in the first place? Watch Blackfish. Maybe then you'll do better. And if not, then I guess you really are just a waste of oxygen. Awful.
@@maqattack4077 I went there last week
@@maqattack4077 it was fun
Sickening animal abuse ... free them!!
Stop taking these beautiful creatures from the sea STOP
He was being held captive. In a tank tiny tank. For 21 years. That’s like us sitting in a bathtub for 21 years. He was frustrated & disrespected. That is so sad that orcas, not just Tilly, but orcas had to go through that.
I read a comment by a SeaWorld trainer saying that the whales are perfectly happy. Not only that, but also had the audacity to think captive whales should be happy because SeaWorld provides them with free food and health care, which they dont get in the wild.
I hope he’s in peace now, swimming happily. They treated him so badly and he did what his instincts told him to do. He truly did deserve a much much better life. They’re such beautiful animals
Stfu if that was ur daughter
Exactly
Nah, send him downstairs. He took lives. Actually I’m not sure he has much of a soul.
Oh and p.s I’m not defending seaworld, they also soulless.
I encourage you guys to watch “blackfish”, a documentary about the dark side of sea world and their orca show. Seaworld captures whales and rip them away from thier mothers and at the end of the capturing many are dead. When the babies are born there they are also ripped away causing emotional trauma to the mothers and children. Less than 1% of orcas have flopped over dorsal fins and yet almost every orca in captivity does. The documentary includes a lot more and it’s really important to spread the word on what really happens
How true!
Shadow hello seaworld's dog ?
Lmao bring facts not feelings kid
Shadow you are pathetic. Your perspective is very subjective to your own good. How in the world is being captives benefits the orcas and how is orcas is well taken care. They were forced to live in a tank without their pod ! They were forced to be on schedule and perform for human entrainment purpose !!! You are confusing human being and orcas. These whales are forced to work and have set schedule time for their performance. They aren’t human and do not need to make a living so stop that nonsense
@@Shadow-gx6lx why are you stupid
Watching this in a time where whales can no longer be kept in captivity makes me emotionally horrified that Tilikum ended up dying in a place that gave him more trauma than people were letting on.
At least Tilikum is out of his misery. I guess they did not realize that male orcas stay with their mother their entire life? Imagine the misery of this poor orca. None should be kept in captivity. None. Same with dolphins.
Hey sea world I have an idea GET RID OF ORCAS IN YOUR PARK
HI I'm a perso idk if this would work but people could teach them how to survivivw..
BTW ONLY ONE WHALE AT SEAWORLD ORLANDO IS FROM THE WILD AND ITS KATINA AND SHE IS 42.
Alex Seravilo exactly but there too depressed and won’t be able to survive in the wild at this point
What about the dolphins, and all the other sea animals they have. Oh yeah the media didn't mention the others, therefore the other animals don't matter!
HI I'm a perso Throw them into the ocean to die? What? In the ocean is where they belong, they're wild animals. They are better off free. They can hunt and be together in the big ocean as it should always be.
"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. "
Mark Twain
I get where you're coming from, but orcas literally play with their prey and torture them before they eat them soooooooo that quote is kinda misplaced here xD
@@nicoleashley3906 hey , i do know that but i guess you understand what i was saying.
We are just more conniving and cynical with how we do it.
@@nicoleashley3906 at the very least they eat them. They dont just leave it to die unlike us and just move on
@@hwanniggles187 yes if someone murders, they should eat the dead body
Or hurt the person more
The fact that they know it's wrong and continue to exploit these animals to death should tell you all you need to know, they treat these animals as if they are objects, not living, breathing animals that feel pain, emotionally and physically. Absolutely disgusting. These beautiful animals deserve so much more than this. This is f*cked up and everyone knows it, we need to inform people of this, stop supporting Sea World. And maybe when it's gone we can try to heal the damage caused to these whales and prevent more of this.
The saddest part is in the wild they live to be anywhere from 80 to a 135 years old Is seaworld truly is a heartless corporation.
They see him as a bad animal, he really wasn’t they trained him that way, his old trainer used to let whales attack him and not feed him for weeks if he didn’t do as he asked, and that would have an effect on his mental state and make him mean he’s an animal treat him right, I feel bad for him, he’s so beautiful, and peaceful, he only makes his acts on the way you would treat him , Love you Tilikum rest easy, you are now in peace.❤️❤️
Julie... thanks for sharing that....
It was worse than that - Tillikum was put in with whales that didn't speak the same language. Each family of killer whales speak their own distinctive language. So Tillikum couldn't understand what he was being instructed to do. He was with other killer whales but he was still lonely with no one to speak to.
I believe they put him in with whales that bullied him. But, I didn't know and will have to fact check that they did not feed him...for weeks.
Doubt if you’d feel the same if your daughter was his victim
@@canadamonroe6229 you’d be ignoring the truth to not agree with what was said in the comment
It's sad to me that the animals being displayed have more intelligence and compassion than the people watching them
Rip beautiful baby boy... Tilikum... you're loved
A year in quarantine drives us crazy, imagine 33 years!
Blackfish was the truth not controversial #freetilly
You can’t train a wild animal. Period. Leave wild life alone. And especially don’t leave it in a tank forever and expect it to be happy and fine.
What about my dog
I agree with you but… wild animals most definitely can be trained. It’s more a matter of should you train a wild animal.

RIP sweet baby. Please forgive the cruelty bestowed upon you for FARRR too many years - 20!!! - and the evil humans who ripped you away from your family, where you would likely have stayed your whole life if the selfish cruelty of humans had not stolen you away. I hope your mother and family found peace and did not mourn your loss too deeply or for too long. I hope she, too, can forgive your kidnappers. My heart remains broken for all you suffered and my eyes fill with tears at the thought of what you were put through. I mourn no one at Sea World; nothing you did was ever your fault. Goodbye, Tili. We love you, sweet boy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
7 years later ,NO CHANGE . WOW
Yeah ok....
Be forced in a room without family for 36 years fed once a day and forced to do tricks i would've snapped a while ago
They don’t get feed once a day. I used to be a sea world trainer!
I loved my time there it is really just an awesome community!
But I am here to tell you that they don’t get feed once a day the actually get
Feed 7 times a day (not including when they do shows)
They get feed large amounts of fish and other things at a time like
Octopus
Squid
We also do not abuse them or harm them in any way they sometimes lash out
Because they want a treat like a fish or Two
That is why bad stuff like this happens in the beginnings of the shows
Because they have not gotten a fish yet because they have not done a trick.
Also when they are not doing a show we are scrubbing them and Massaging
Them!
Also during this time they get feed they don’t have to do tricks for these treats!
Just wanted to spread awareness about this,
Thank you for you time!
Have a good day

its so sad he was just so frustrated and he didnt know what was wrong he probably didnt even know that he killed her at least now hes free from the traumatizing place called "home"
Stop putting them in captivity. It's so Cruel. There has never been a person killed in the wild. My goodness leave them alone.
RIP Tilly. Now you can be free and live your life in heaven the way it should have been lived on earth. I'm sorry you were held in a pool all your life. That's not the life they are supposed to live
Tilikum was neglected at Sealand as I understand and beaten up by the two female orcas there. Six years of neglect will take it's toll in every way.
It doesn't matter how hard we try, it'll be impossible to meet their needs. A wild orca eats 500lbs of fish,seals, sharks,rays, whales etc. They live in strong,stable family units and have adaptive hunting tactics according to their prey. They include:intentional stranding, passive listening, synchronized swimming, wave hunting etc. Even stealing fish from fishing lines.They teach these tactics to their young from about 8 weeks old. Orcas cover up to 100 miles per day;swimming,courting,hunting, playing and so on
i agree
Frances Sweeney exactly, that's why they don't deserve to be in captivity and should never have been to start with.
Frances Sweeney No, 200 pounds
They travel to hunt.
If you’re talking about the place he was in before SeaWorld, those two orcas actually bonded a bit too much with him. In fact, when he killed that first trainer by drowning her, those females circled around them so that he could finish the job.
His fin was bending that means he was depressed u took him from his family
That and the muscle can’t develop bc they are always near the surface they build the muscles by swimming under water
he has no family

Rest In Peace ❤ for Tilikum, for Dawn, for Keltie, For Daniel
I was there at the time Tikikum was alive. I was only 7 years old and i noticed that his dorsal fin was floppy. We asked the trainer why it was bent. The trainer told us it was of old age. They were clearly lying.
Me and my family went to Orlando for my brother's make a wish foundation request. We went to Sea World and during the first five minutes we got separated, cell phones weren't really a thing yet so after twenty minutes of searching for them I decided to go and do stuff.I heard a kid say Shamu is starting soon, I went to the show. At the end of the show they put all the orcas away, the trainers retreated from the water and they announced Tilikum was coming, I got out of my seat, stepped up on the concrete ledge and when Tilikum came out of the funnel I reached over the glass and touched him with love and caring, he looked up with me and my heart sank to the floor from the level of dread and sorrow in his eye when he looked at me.
No member of the public has EVER touched Tilikum. Only experienced animal care staff has. Ironic you did not have a phone nor camera to capture this moment.
M L i would imagine not during a show at least. I'm thrown by the fact phones weren't a big thing yet comment. as it was only recently after the death of the trainer they decided no trainers could be on stage when tili was in the water. and um phones were around. maybe they meant it wasn't popular for kids to have their own phones. but still
questionable comment.
ffp08 cute story kid. You should be an author coming up with fairytales like that😂
M L actually I have done it myself and it is heartbreaking but your not supposed to touch them I assume
That may be why they put more glass up so people cant
20 years in prison, and died there! What a life it had....NOT
Rip Tilly...I'm sorry for what SeaWorld did to you everyday.i hope you are in a beautiful ocean now and happy
Goodbye Tilikum, you will neither be forgotten, nor be stressed out as being the loneliest orca in the world, Goodbye you Icon. RIP
poor orca. Those animals don't deserve to be in cages or tanks. At least he's free now❤
Some of Tilikum's offspring are still alive. He has two living daughters - Malia and Sakari, and five sons - Kyuquot, Tuar, Makaio, Tekoa, and Ikaika. He also has three grandchildren - Trua, Nalani, and Adan.

Attention:Everyone BlackFish is on Netflix I REPEAT WATCH IT
Thanks for letting us know!
Are u aware Blackfish is propaganda???
@@ripplewavess how is it propaganda?
@@chrismora9049 I’m very glad you asked that question!
Blackfish has 70% lies in it to make SeaWorld look bad. They said there is no record of an orca attack in the wild when they dang well knew there was 1 incident of an orca accidentally bit a man/woman.
They said SeaWorld “starves their orcas” but this is in fact not true. In Behind the Scenes of Believe, a trainer said if the orca does a wrong trick, they give them positive reinforcement, they either tell them to do the trick again, or get a treat (fish, salmon, rub downs), but SeaWorld, especially Dawn, would never do anything to hurt the orcas or put them in danger.
SeaWorld separates the orcas for a reason. In the documentary, these so called “trainers” had said Tiki (Takara, we pro capts like to call them by their nicknames) was moved from Kassy (Kasatka, again, we pro capts call the orcas by their nickname) at a young age. In fact, that is not true at all. Tiki was moved at 12 years old from Kassy.
Another important thing, Blackfish had some trainers who were fired by SeaWorld. I will get back to you on that.
There is more that I will share. Please, ask me anything.
@@ripplewavess provide sources for all of this.
Its better for him No capitvy no pools no people on his back RIP Tilikum you was a great soul
If you’re reading this , please stop attending seaworld
this is cruel and their fins fold over because they dont like being held captive like that.
Lillian VanGorder Their fins fold actually because they have no space in which to swim freely and are fed an unnatural diet of thawed dead fish. SeaWorld claims that this condition is common however, in the wild, it rarely ever happens and is a sign of an injured or unhealthy orca.
Not true look at the difference from a free orca and a captured one
See world should not have ever been made
Water Nebula omg they don't "prefer" to go in higher waters. They are forced to😂 where else are they supposed to go the tank isn't deep for them to go farther.

I’m a Vietnamese and I’ve never seen orcas in real life before. I’ve always thought how wonderful it would be if I had a chance to see them.
But I don’t think I would go to these parks 😢. I’d rather see them in documentaries on TV like I always do. Swimming freely in the ocean, without being held captive in cramped pools.
Rest In Peace Tilikum ❤️🖤💙

They held her gun point or something?
It's sad that she was killed. but at the same time she chose that line of work. the whale does not have a choice.
Sea world needs to be shut down
Why?
Adan Vivero Watch "Blackfish" and you'll understand how cruel and how big of liars these industries are
Karen Zapata blackfish is fake
lauren Warner so is seawsorld. At least blackfish got the basics right. Who cares if they didn't show the orca they were talking about? Did it suffer less because it had a different name than the one used in the film? Did it hurt less because the orca in the footage wasn't the one they were talking about? Seaworld has told more lies then anyone can count, and blackfish is the fake one? Blackfish got some details wrong, that's all. Seaworld lies on purpose, to make people think those orcas are truely in the best place possible, they lie to protect their cashflow. That's a lot worse than getting some details wrong, while trying to make people see what's wrong about keeping a giant, migratory mammal in a puddle. Not to mention the fact that seaworld keeps them in artificial pods, away from the extended FAMILY they are wired to live with. When you have to drug an animal for the majority of its life, to keep it "healthy" and relatively sane, it's obvious those animals can't cope with captivity.
emma aps ok whatever
I was at the show where he killed the trainer! He clearly didn’t mean to
Dawn RIP in 2015 saw it live from Abilene Texas dentistry office we love and miss our family condolences
That poor orca never got a free life. Rip ❤️
Got abuse whole life and finally is over. Orcas were forced doing all those unnatural performance so seaworld could made money
no one cares
@@diorno27 Nah YOU don't care, everyone else does

A natural setting is free. Confined is not freedom. A trainer becomes a torturer. He killed his torturer, in his death, he became free. She remained what she was, ignorant.
Ann Foxgold I’m pretty sure you’re the ignorant one
HI I'm a perso Nope you are the ignorant one
The trainers to some extent were victims themselves. They purposely picked young hopeful people than lied to them and made it seem like they were doing something good for these animals I don’t believe that initially these trainers had poor intentions none of them had any kind of background in marine life and see world purposely targeted these kind of people who were naïve and didn’t know better they were no better than the public who went to sea world before finding out about what really went on there
Ann Foxgold, no disrespect meant, but you have to realize that it wasn't the trainer's fault, the blame is ultimately on Sea World. Dawn Brancheau was one of the best trainers they had.
But they must of knew what they were doing and where they were working was wrong but they still stayed
Watching in 2022 and has anything really changed - would like to see an updated story on this
RIP Tilikum. The fact he never got a shot at freedom is honestly sad.
Rest in peace Tilly. I know this was announced 4 years ago, but still, no one should have to suffer like he did. He is finally free
Tilikum u will forever be in my heart I love you Tilly
Dude!!! He killed someone!!
Molly so? I love tilikum he’s not mean he’s been in a bathtub his whole life no wonder he’s gone crazy
Molly I think if you were in captivity for over two decades, you would also snap.
Tanner Fox R.I.P Tilikum and R.I.P Harambe 💞
Molly he was a killer whale what do you expect from a killer whale.
I named my black & white cat after him. I call him Tilly. I stand with victims of abuse. ❤
*Tilikum has two daughters, Malia and Sakari, and five sons, Kyuquot, Tuar, Makaio, Tekoa, and Ikaika. He also has three grandchildren - Trua, Nalani, and Adan.*
This poor guy was placed in a bathtub for over 20 years , taken from his mother at 2 years old. Yet we expected him to be the happiest whale on earth and all for money. Did we know that there has never been a killer whale attack on a human in the wild? That speaks volumes.
Tilikum is the new Harambe in 2017?
Lyro Lungcay he wasn't shot to death
No, but the internet will explode over it probably.
Lyro Lungcay yup
"Tilikum is the new Harambe in 2017" nope I saw nothing on the internet about this and I only found out today that he died
Rushin / SunDiegoRussia I found out 10 months later and with harambe I found out 10 hours later
That 🐋 killed 3 people and they kept right on dealing with it shows u what kind of heart they have
Rip Tilikum bro, honestly sad. literally spent his life in a cage after being basically kidnapped from his family and forced to preform tricks and if he didn't do it right he didn't get fed. but at least he's in a better place now where he's free
