"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.
He didn’t snapped for no reason. There was a few signs on why he did it. I mean he did a trick like she wanted him to do but she missed the cue & didn’t reward him so he got angry. And if u knew how they treated him? I don’t blame him for killing anybody really. He was tortured. He was locked up in a pretty small pool with 2 other females who attacked repeatedly & he has marks (fresh & old) scars all over his body. They did him so wrong. The way they captured him & separated him from his mom & pod was messed up too. I mean they’re super smart animals so Tilikum always had that anger in the back of his mind. R.I.P. to her but he didn’t killed her, Seaworld did. No one should’ve working with him in the 1st place.
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
@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.
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.
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.
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
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🐋💙😔😭
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?
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.
@@thundaraelf 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
@@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.
@@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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.❤️❤️
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.
“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.
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
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.
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

You want the best care as possible? Leave the wild animals as wild animals in their natural environment. I know it’s an amusement park, create jobs & brings in revenue but this is wrong. If people want amusement, charter a boat, make money that way. Don’t make the animals suffer & fill your employee’s head with lies.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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"
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
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!
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.
@@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.
No animal should. The only "captivity" that should occurs should be only to save a species, rehab an animal, nurse a sick animal, or sanctuaries that preserve their habitats. Nothing for entertainment AT ALL PERIOD.
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
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.
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 ❤️🖤💙 You’re free now 🐬
@@henkjan997 having these highly intelligent animals in these parks, captured from the wild, having their babies stolen, and then keeping them in these inhumane conditions, just for entertainment sake is anything but amazing.
They actually do a lot of great efforts in terms of the conservation of many marine species, but they seriously need to stop these stupid shows. If they do, than my view of SeaWorld will be a little more positive.
Yes, there were 3 deaths from Tilikum, but that beautiful orca is not to blame. Leave them in their original habitat and find something else to entertain people. It's just such a travesty to make them perform.
I was actually talking to my mom about this a week ago, i didn't know he had passed away, so sad, but he is free now, boycott all those places, animals belong in the wild, free 💔😔
This was explained in school. Don't ask why we watched things about Tilikum I don't know eather. They said he didn't hear well. When he did something right the woman took a fish and said "Good job" (or something like that) But he didn't hear anything. He thought he did something wrong. He became "mad" and more like frustrated. Then he just snapped her leg and she died. It wasn't his fould. He shouldn't never been there at SeaWorld. He should have been in the REAL sea. Sorry for my bad english... And I need to say that he is an animal. They don't always understand things like this. The video what we watched told also that he (Tilikum) could want to just play. But he is too big. The result is that someone dies. What if Tilikum wanted just play with that woman?
TAETAE the CAT yes... the incident that kille the two trainers were accident... he wanted to play... the recent accident was because she had her hair over the tank and tilly thought it was a toy... the one time tilly killed a man was because the man fell in and tilly knew it was a trespasser..... yes it was sad that it happened but wales in captivity are still unpredictable.. people wat to release the wales there but its too late.. they dont know how to catch there on food anymore.... it was 37 years ago that they have taken a sea animal from the ocean... now they are all rescued... the current killer whales in sea world are born there.... Not taken from the Wild
HI I'm a perso just cuz he cant hear somthing does not mean he should not be given his freedom back. Should a deaf person be taken to a jail cuz he or she cant hear..no....they can still see right they have eyes right?
Kriptonicgamer200 Lol they don’t live in the society we do, they live in the wild and hearing is very important in the wild if you didn’t know, also their eyes are just meant to dodge objects and stuff, they use sound to find prey not eyes
'He completely mutilated that 'poor girl''? What a stupid man. If she didn't participate in the wrongful imprisonment of a wild animal, she would be alive today. Don't blame the animal. Blame the real culprits. Those who steal wild animals from their natural habitats.
That's exactly what I am saying. She 'dedicated her life to' an animal which was stolen from it's mother from the wild. She participated in the wrongful imprisonment of a dangerous wild animal. Did she expect flowers from the orca? This is what happens when you use animals as toys.
Oráiste Naranja I agree that the comment the man made was stupid because it's an animal, but a young woman did die who was passionate about the animals and cared about them that's why she worked with them, if you love them so much join proteas and campaigns to stop it instead of disrespecting the dead
What a stupid naive way of thinking. Yes, she indirectly was responsible for this poor animals imprisonment. This is what is wrong with the world, everyone always trying to dismiss their part in the bad things of the world by insinuating that they were not directly responsible for what happened. We all like to buy fancy clothes, ignoring the fact that it is children who made them for us in poor countries for the price of a cup of coffee. Or as we wear our lovely fur coats, we turn a blind eye to the brutal suffering that those animals had to endure to make that. Or when we buy that beef from Brazil, turning a blind eye to the fact that by buying that beef we are destroying the earths lungs. This is what is wrong with the world. Open your eyes. This animal was murdered a severally depressed due to its 'carers'. Simple as that.
I find it absurd when people discuss captivity of orcas. Please show me an orca in the wild attacking a human for no reason... the victims are the whales and dolphins and not some personal trainers
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 just learned about his death yesterday. He passed away surrounded by the trainers, vets and other staff. RIP, Tilly. Although I don't excuse his killings, I don't think any of us will ever experience the stress and entrapment he felt his whole life.
@@dakotafawson1223 its not natural instinct, in the wild there has been no fatal incidents and only one report of a bit i think, the attacks i believe were completely out of frustration due to how the trainers would punish him for missing a cue, being forced to do tricks just for them to give him a few fish and pour a bucket of water in his mouth, being left to swim in a bath tub for 30 or so years. definitely not natural instinct
some people will if they get nasty diseases that can isolate them from there entire species and leave them in physical pain it's pretty much like being in prison your whole life
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.
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.
I am glad to see this animal has finally escaped being wrongfully imprisoned by these idiots! These animals are smart enough to know they are not in the environment they were born for. I am truly disgusted by this heartless practice. SHAME on you Sea-world!! ~Rest in peace Tilikum~
This is like taking a child from their mother, home and country to be taking somewhere completely unfamiliar to perform for the profit for someone else, held captive in a confined space and only being fed when they do their performance well.. this is so heartbreaking
_He is now in Heaven, swimming happily in huge oceans with millions of other late orcas, with a straight and erect dorsal fin, indicating that he's feeling healthy. His spirit is now exploring the whole world, amazed and fascinated by the vast nature around him. RIP and F to this soul_ 😔

🥺😢😭
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.
@@thundaraelf 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
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.

@@maqattack4077 I went there last week

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
Blackfish was the truth not controversial #freetilly
They simply should not keep Orca's in captivity, period... I will NEVER go near or or support any "show" of that nature.
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.
Stop taking these beautiful creatures from the sea STOP
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.
Glad he passed. Life in captivity is worse than death. Heaven's a better place to be than those abusive marine animal shows.
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
“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.
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,

You want the best care as possible? Leave the wild animals as wild animals in their natural environment. I know it’s an amusement park, create jobs & brings in revenue but this is wrong. If people want amusement, charter a boat, make money that way. Don’t make the animals suffer & fill your employee’s head with lies.
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.
It's sad to me that the animals being displayed have more intelligence and compassion than the people watching them
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.

If sea world had left him in the ocean, Tilly would still be alive along with three other people.
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
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"

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.

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

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.

I was actually talking to my mom about this a week ago, i didn't know he had passed away, so sad, but he is free now, boycott all those places, animals belong in the wild, free 💔😔
He’s finally at peace.
This was explained in school. Don't ask why we watched things about Tilikum I don't know eather. They said he didn't hear well. When he did something right the woman took a fish and said "Good job" (or something like that) But he didn't hear anything. He thought he did something wrong. He became "mad" and more like frustrated. Then he just snapped her leg and she died. It wasn't his fould. He shouldn't never been there at SeaWorld. He should have been in the REAL sea.
Sorry for my bad english...
And I need to say that he is an animal. They don't always understand things like this. The video what we watched told also that he (Tilikum) could want to just play. But he is too big. The result is that someone dies. What if Tilikum wanted just play with that woman?
TAETAE the CAT
yes... the incident that kille the two trainers were accident... he wanted to play... the recent accident was because she had her hair over the tank and tilly thought it was a toy... the one time tilly killed a man was because the man fell in and tilly knew it was a trespasser..... yes it was sad that it happened but wales in captivity are still unpredictable.. people wat to release the wales there but its too late.. they dont know how to catch there on food anymore.... it was 37 years ago that they have taken a sea animal from the ocean... now they are all rescued... the current killer whales in sea world are born there.... Not taken from the Wild
just assume that I don't have a name "couldn't hear well" now you know the reason why he couldn't be back in the ocean
HI I'm a perso just cuz he cant hear somthing does not mean he should not be given his freedom back. Should a deaf person be taken to a jail cuz he or she cant hear..no....they can still see right they have eyes right?
Kriptonicgamer200 Lol they don’t live in the society we do, they live in the wild and hearing is very important in the wild if you didn’t know, also their eyes are just meant to dodge objects and stuff, they use sound to find prey not eyes

'He completely mutilated that 'poor girl''? What a stupid man. If she didn't participate in the wrongful imprisonment of a wild animal, she would be alive today. Don't blame the animal. Blame the real culprits. Those who steal wild animals from their natural habitats.
Are you saying she's not a poor girl? She was killed by the animal she dedicated her life to.
That's exactly what I am saying. She 'dedicated her life to' an animal which was stolen from it's mother from the wild. She participated in the wrongful imprisonment of a dangerous wild animal. Did she expect flowers from the orca? This is what happens when you use animals as toys.
Oráiste Naranja did she capture the whale herself? No, have a bit of respect
Oráiste Naranja I agree that the comment the man made was stupid because it's an animal, but a young woman did die who was passionate about the animals and cared about them that's why she worked with them, if you love them so much join proteas and campaigns to stop it instead of disrespecting the dead
What a stupid naive way of thinking. Yes, she indirectly was responsible for this poor animals imprisonment. This is what is wrong with the world, everyone always trying to dismiss their part in the bad things of the world by insinuating that they were not directly responsible for what happened. We all like to buy fancy clothes, ignoring the fact that it is children who made them for us in poor countries for the price of a cup of coffee. Or as we wear our lovely fur coats, we turn a blind eye to the brutal suffering that those animals had to endure to make that. Or when we buy that beef from Brazil, turning a blind eye to the fact that by buying that beef we are destroying the earths lungs. This is what is wrong with the world. Open your eyes. This animal was murdered a severally depressed due to its 'carers'. Simple as that.
I find it absurd when people discuss captivity of orcas. Please show me an orca in the wild attacking a human for no reason... the victims are the whales and dolphins and not some personal trainers
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

Violet Roy you don’t excuse a wild animal killing humans that are keeping it him captivity, because it’s what his natural instinct made him do?
@@dakotafawson1223 its not natural instinct, in the wild there has been no fatal incidents and only one report of a bit i think, the attacks i believe were completely out of frustration due to how the trainers would punish him for missing a cue, being forced to do tricks just for them to give him a few fish and pour a bucket of water in his mouth, being left to swim in a bath tub for 30 or so years. definitely not natural instinct
ac x they tortured him and he snapped.

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.

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.
Wow 36? Thats sad. Orcas usually live as long as humans in the wild.
I am glad to see this animal has finally escaped being wrongfully imprisoned by these idiots! These animals are smart enough to know they are not in the environment they were born for. I am truly disgusted by this heartless practice. SHAME on you Sea-world!! ~Rest in peace Tilikum~
I think you may have wandered from the conversation.
Rest in peace Tilikum you will never be forgotten. You will go down as the Orca that stood up to your oppressors.
Close sea world
RIP BIg Boy, you should have been free your entire life. Please DO NO continue the madness by attending any marine parks.
If you didn’t take him from the ocean this wouldn’t happened
This is like taking a child from their mother, home and country to be taking somewhere completely unfamiliar to perform for the profit for someone else, held captive in a confined space and only being fed when they do their performance well.. this is so heartbreaking
We miss you buddy. We love you so much. I'm so sorry people say that you're a cold blooded killer, you aren't anything like that. Swim peacefully. 💕
I know this is old. That poor orca. His life was hell. I’m glad he’s at peace now.
_He is now in Heaven, swimming happily in huge oceans with millions of other late orcas, with a straight and erect dorsal fin, indicating that he's feeling healthy. His spirit is now exploring the whole world, amazed and fascinated by the vast nature around him. RIP and F to this soul_ 😔
Alongside Keiko too. His dorsal fin now stands tall and proud as he and his great-grandmother swim along the Infinite Ocean. Never again will they be playthings for man's greed!
I HATE CAPTIVITY
Why isnt seaworld shut down?
Joey Racano Cause they take a lot of 💰 💰 💰
They saved more animals than orcas they "imprisoned"
they are total 💩
vj balan what do you mean “Imprisoned” they literally striped orca calfs away from their mothers and families and forced to preform tricks in a pool for the rest of their lives and then are forced to breed with other orcas to continue the cycle of suffering! If you want to know more watch Blackfish it’s a great documentary
Because america.
Heaven has a bigger place for Tilikum, away from human abuses
Yeah
I remember going to Sea World when I was five. Tilikum change my life, I love you so much Tilikum and I wish you could have made it back in the ocean but now you are free in heaven ❤️❤️😭😭❤️❤️❤️
