    Poor fella. Brought tears to my eyes. I remember seeing one of (I guess) Shamu's kids at Seaworld Orlando in the 80s. I was just a boy so I thought "what a great life for that whale."
    The SADDEST thing about Tilikum is that when they quit putting him in shows, he probably thought he was being punished and didn't know why. That is FUCKING HEART BREAKING.

    Tilikum is now free of the indignity of captivity. Had he been left in the wild, where he belongs, his life could have been so different. I am totally in support of the establishment of seaside sanctuaries to allow ex-captive marine mammals the chance to live a life of some normality - to retire gracefully. Surely we owe them that much having taken them from their families in the wild and making them live with artificial 'families' in a concrete tank?

      @CllConnie 6 лет назад +6

      Oh, Gayle, my blood runs cold reading your post. It is because of all the people who paid their money to look at something that is completely artificial, the same as the dancing bears in Russia, and made Seaworld nothing but money. They did not care about the orcas one bit. Just one example: anyone who has read a single thing about whales knows they are creatures who communicate with each other. Ships in the ocean are encouraged to run as quietly as possible because NOISE is harmful to whales! What about Seaworld?? Couldn't find a place that would hurt your ears or your head more than that place, and especially when the whale shows were on!!

    I think the last four years of his life was spent in the back of the park in a small tank.

    Is this supposed to be Tilikum in the tank? This Killer whale is smaller (not talking about the baby one) than Tilly was and has totally different markings on his stomach...R.I.P. Tilikum

      That is Trua, who was often put with him to "keep him company" since he was often left drugged and isolated.

    • @robinjamieson4507
      @robinjamieson4507 7 лет назад

      What will happen to Trua? He must be traumatized now that Tilli is gone. Does anyone know the circumstances of Tilli's death - was he found dead, or were any of the trainers with him when he died? There is talk of killing him for the insurance...

      Whilst Seaworld hasn't provided any information on the necropsy yet, about a year before his death (early 2016) Seaworld mentioned that Tilikum was suffering from a chronic bacterial lung infection that could one day lead to his death. He had been sick on and off for the last few years of his life with multiple bouts of pneumonia. I suspect he was being kept in the med pool under observation at his time of death as the trainers and vets would have known he was close to death. Seaworld released this statement “The SeaWorld family is deeply saddened to announce that one of its most well-known orcas, Tilikum, has passed away,” it read. “Tilikum passed away early this morning surrounded by the trainers, care staff and veterinarians that provided him around-the-clock world-class care.”

    • @Romulan2469

      Trua will carry on living his life in captivity like the remaining living orcas, he will get over the loss of Tilikum just like humans get over the loss of a person. I hope that Seaworld finally come to their senses and give these last remaining orcas in captivity a chance of freedom by releasing them into sea pens so they can have more enrichment and experience a more natural environment. That is something Tilikum never had a chance to experience after being taken from the wild to perform in the Seaworld circus.

      Romulan2469 Thank you so much for replying. I too hope that Seaworld will do the right thing and have all their orcas released into sea pens.

    RIP tilikum and all the other whales that have died at seaworld these whales should not be in captivity for the pleasure to perform in front of crowds they belong in the sea as God intended.

      メKawaiiYanderleeメ tail is natural for his size but his dorsal fin was caused by being out of water to much that is rarely seen in the wild
