That poor thing never, never should have been ripped out of his life in the wild. That is absolute animal cruelty.

[bbygrl]

First of all, after his first victim, he never should have been allowed in the water with anyone ever again. Second of all, he is the victim. We pulled him out of the wild for human entertainment. They're not made for human entertainment. It's already been proven how absolutely intelligent these creatures are. And we're going to throw them into a swimming pool after coming out of an ocean I would be pissed too.

I regret every Sea World ticket I ever bought. The documentary Blackfish really opened my eyes. Sea World needs to do something right. Release all their whales, dolphins and sea lions to sanctuaries. I will buy a ticket to see animals happy in sanctuaries. They need to swallow their pride, admit they were wrong and change. If they don’t I will never buy a ticket to Sea World again and I will keep telling others not to. I was wrong.

[studiosinger]

These trainers need to end this Orca enslavement or face endless consequences.

[swthelostarchives]

I support the orca 100%. F these people who trap them in these tiny enclosures for life. They belong in the ocean.

[entonybyrd]

I can't see why people act like they can't understand that this is still an animal with a wild killer instinct. They should never be held in captivity because this could trigger psychosis. I'd never go to SeaWorld.. These animals go through abuse on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this was an accident waiting to happen.

[bklynhoney]

The torture that poor whale was put through his entire life. I dont know why anyone would be surprised

[deonegrizzle]

He killed her bcus he was pissed off plain and simple.
It doesn't take a scientist to know that the animal was NOT HAPPY and was highly stressed causing him to have a PSYCHOSIS episode on that particular time and day. I blame the ppl who got into the water with these WILD animals.
No wild animal can be tamed.
They took that risk and died for their own decision, it may sound harsh but it's true, if Dawn and Alexis and the others hadn't gone in with them they would all still be here today🤷🏽‍♂️

[hollandmeester]

RIP Dawn 😢
Poor Tilikum. An orca never killed a human in the wild, but Tilikum in his waterprison killed three. That says enough for
Close Seaworld and all others....

[NourKLI]

People don’t get it. He did his trick and was waiting for his reward ( fish), dawn didn’t give it and the fish was finished. Than it happend. Trainers aren’t innocent in this. They train them by starving them if they don’t do it. That’s facts. Also being naive ain’t a reason to abuse an animal. I wanted to be a dolphin trainer when I was young, when I got older I looked into it and was shocked of how these animals are treated. I was a 16 year old kid, so don’t tell
Me these grown ups didn’t know😂. I from 1991 btw. It’s awful people lost there lives but on the other hand why are they surprised?! It’s a killer whale one of the most smartest animals around. They are self aware and they can build up mental problems. People who go to these parks are guilty also. Same as the higher ups of these parks. It ain’t one persons fault.

[raehatt]

The fact that he had already killed before is a red That Orca was just waiting to do it again. I will never go to Sea World again. Was there 1 time about 30 years ago, will never go back. Is it possible that he hated the trainers so much that he plotted against them? Sorry for the death’s of the trainer’s, but I just wonder how that poor Orca was treated! 😡 Makes me mad and sad too.

[tazzjamal]

I feel for dawn and her family
But really think about this how would you feel if you were kidnapped from your family forced to perform and live in a bathtub compared to the open ocean and be paid in 2 or 3 pounds of fish?

[lynahiacampbell]

RIP tillikum ! You was majestic and amazing ! I’m so sorry you died at just 35 !!!

[lisabarton]

I feel so bad what happened to tilikum he didnt deserve that he was taken away from his mom scared thrown into a new world that wasnt nice rest in peace love you

[janagacosova]

Zotročení nádherných tvorů...nutíte je šaškovat před platícími diváky.. všechny tyto vodní atrakce bych zrušila..😨😨

[мила-вое]

Так будет продолжаться до тех пор пока люди перестанут издеваться над животными и зарабатыаать на них деньги. У животных свой мир и не одно живое существо не хочет жить в неволе

[dominique]

The ppl who take these animals from their mother have no heart. Imagine it was the other way around. Really disgusting. And all this for money. Makes me sick.

[Bazza]

That is sad since they seemed to have had a good rapport for a while, but the whale snapped in the end. However, the Icelandic Orca with Orca who were of a different "tribe" i.e. Pacific Northwest Whales (it was ignorant to put him with such whales making him an automatic outsider) dealt with trauma, was beaten by other whales, was taken from his family. He never forgot what he went through.

[angelp.]

Poor Tilikum he was ripped from his ma and traumatized his entire life.

[carolethompson]

LET THEM GO FREE! AS THEY WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE!!!
