she(Malia) is alright! not injured or anything, they never physically or mentally harm the whales after things like this happen and it was in this case a complete accident.
I fear she might have been punished later behind the scenes… to keep her in line like they do with the elephants….(hmmm…. I’m not sure what the whale equivalent is, but I’m sure it’s NOT good…?)😢🐢
There is always some kind of excuse for seaworld and yet they still keep orcas. They should seriously be shut down unless they stop keeping orcas. The history of trainer death and injury is too obvious.
That will never happen. The report is a "dog and pony show" to appear something was done. Same when officers violate people's Rights. Nothing ever happens to them. 👌🤫
@nerve. The stupid people only keeping them in business give it 5-10 years many of the orcas will have likely passed due to captivity and since this is the last generation of captive orcas the sales will definitely go down as more and more of the animals pass, unfortunately I belive only 17 orcas are now in captivity which isn't many, so with so few left we got maybe 10 years
Orcas are such intelligent, powerful, and beautiful creatures. I hate to see how their fins curve because of being kept in captivity. Unfortunately the trainer made an almost deadly mistake and broke protocol. The orca mouth closing could have been an instinctive reaction to the water pressure. Sad, but I hope there’s full recovery. Whales were created to thrive in the open oceans… NOT to be held hostage and used for our entertainment!
I usually don’t respond to comments like this but the dorsal fin one is simply not true. Their dorsal fins can get up to 6 feet tall and there is no bone structure in those dorsal fins, only their pectoral flippers. These orcas do not hunt, they get all of their food from their trainers. The fin starts to curve because the stability of the water keeps it upright and it just naturally grows into the curve. Studies have shown that any orcas that spend a lot of time at the surface start showing the curve. It doesn’t just happen to whales in zoological facilities, it happens in the wild too. There’s a population of orcas of the coast of New Zealand that had this curve and they primarily hunt stingrays in shallow water.
@@tidalthrills We need to start saying, "credible studies". Because I have seen a YT argument where the girl made crap up by starting all of her fake points with "studies have shown".

This was not a tickle! She hit a nerve in one of her broken teeth. These animals have no stimulation overnight, so they chew on the concrete, ingesting toxic chemicals and damaging, sometimes fracturing their teeth. They drill holes in the teeth with no "Novocain" and they don't fill them. That's what happened. SeaWorld has been telling many lies. Even tried to blame trainers for their deaths. There are a lot of dirty secrets here!
@@tidalthrills Nothing she said is untrue. The dorsal fins of captive males are collapsed PRECISELY because they are captive - as almost all male orcas in captivity have collapsed dorsal fins due to the conditions in captivity. This is RARE in the wild, where only about 1% of male orcas have collapsed dorsal fins; and in most cases, the collapses are explained by injury - not by natural occurrence. Additionally, the explanation you've provided for why the fins of captive males are collapsed is *SeaWorld's* explanation. There are multiple explanations that have been proposed by experts, including changes in the collagen of the dorsal fin due to temperature change, diet change of captive orcas, and lowered blood pressure from reduced exercise in captive males; low blood pressure can't sustain an erect dorsal fin. These dorsal fins are not just "growing" in a curve - they are COLLAPSING. There has not been one settled upon explanation for why their fins have collapsed. What we DO know is that this is a phenomenon suffered almost exclusively by captive orcas like those at SeaWorld. The explanation you've selectively chosen is the nicest-sounding one. "Oh, they're just naturally growing that way now because they spend a lot of time at the surface - just like some wild orca." Sure. 🙄 *EDIT*: Upon checking your profile, you work at SeaWorld - a fact you've conveniently left out of your response. This completely explains your so obviously biased take.
So we aren't going to talk about how miserable the orca must have been to even want to eat the side of the tank to have paint chips stuck in her teeth!😢🤬😡
I'll talk with ya! They chew on the concrete out of boredom and they drill holes in them with "no Novocain" and they don't fill them. Why should they?

When will these people learn that these poor whales are obviously getting pissed off cuz they are being held in captivity and being forced to train so that the park can make money off of them!! I would be pissed to if I had a tank to swim in the size of a Olympic swimming pool and swim around in circles all day every day and forced to train everyday to do tricks. These poor whales deserve so much better,they deserve to live their lives free with the rest of their own kind in the wide ocean. I don't patronize zoos or aquariums cuz it's inhumane to see how the animals are treated.
They need to stop exploiting this orcas, and then people would stop getting hurt. Why haven’t people stopped going to sea world, knowing what we know about these intelligent creatures and how much torture they deal with?
So you said "no rules were broken" and followed up with an immediate "they broke the three foot rule" and I'd like to indicate also that there were no rules broken even Tillikum killed those trainers.
In the early '80s I went to British Columbia to see the Orcas. I was ignorant as to how intelligent these animals were and how evil these captures were. No more excuses we all now know this is immoral and I have repented and so has the rest of my family. Save the whales by freeing them.
Lol you should have watched it. Nothing happened it was a freak accident while the trainer was helping the animal. Try to have your own opinions instead of sheeping around.
It’s both. Their scientific name is Orcinus orca. They were called “whale killers” by sailors who observed them praying on wild whales and over time the name switched to “killer whales”. Orca is their scientific name, killer whale is the common name
The question should be why were there paint chips in the whale's mouth and the answer to that is because they're so bored they literally start biting on the paint of the pool just for something to do
Keeping Orcas in captivity will make them frustrated and stressed, stick a human in a cage for years and see how they act. What do you expect, hope the whale is doing ok
They wouldn't get hurt if they didn't keep orcas in captivity!! Paint chips stuck in the teeth what does that say??? After the show she is stuck back in a small tank and going crazy to get out!! These poor orcas go mental and bite the walls and bars damaging their teeth and mouth, it's not right to keep these beautiful orcas in tanks for human entertainment and I'm shocked people still pay and support these shows!! If no body goes to them they just might give these orca's a better life in a sea pen in the real ocean where God intended them to be!! Please help stop any form of animal cruelty, be a voice to these helpless voiceless! I'm sure if they could speak we would hear how miserable their lives are 😢
I feel no pity for the trainers or anyone involved in Seaworld! These majestic creatures do not belong in captivity! They belong in their natural born habitats… what they do to these creatures is pure abuse, abuse people pay to see!
The title is bad then. She put her hand in the mouth while spraying it and whales will automatically close their mouth if it hits their throat or causes an involuntary response. Hope they don’t put the whale down for this!
Keeping these magnificent giants in captivity is of the stone age. With the ocean technologies we now have we can study them in their natural habitat just fine. This bologna SeaWorld keeps tougting that they keep them for conservation/education is a money making big fat lie. Doing tricks in a pool does not in any way teach anyone anything about these extraordinary creatures.
I ignorantly went to sea world about 7 years ago. I was floored by the small enclosures. Orcas aside the dolphins and the younger ones was in a tank so small I couldn’t stop staring. I went and got a closer look at the orcas before a show and they got really close to the glass and I saw so many sores and cuts. I just wanted to apologize and free all the Willy’s
I certainly do! The scary part is how quickly they learn and teach the other subtypes and pods that humans should be targeted. What happens if the occasional Great White accidental attack is no longer the biggest threat humans have to face in the oceans? What if all Orcas begin waging war against all humans who enter their homes? I think the people who say the Orcas are just “playing” with all those boats are delusional and not understanding that Orcas have the ability to strategize and work together to achieve anything they desire. I personally do NOT think it is safe to free Willy or any other poor Orca that still remains in captivity where they are treated with such depravity and have developed an unnatural hatred of humans. I believe that if released they will be free to teach the wild Orcas to take out every human they cross paths with using any means necessary. Don’t get me wrong, I believe we are incredibly wrong in hold the beautiful creatures in captivity….
Sometimes organizations like SeaWorld repress stories like this because it makes them look bad. They already get bad publicity for having captive orcas in the first place, and then due to the death of one of their trainers. They don't want to be the subject of a new social media movement due to more incidents.
My heart breaks watching these intelligent animals who are meant to be with their family in the ocean..... SeaWorld is evil and it is wrong to keep these magnificent animals captive.
Why should they? It's not relevant to the story - just an interesting factoid. The incident has a logical explanation having nothing to do with aggression - while Tilikum's behaviors were aggressive behaviors. If the orca had bitten her arm for no reason, that would be a different story, and would be along the lines of the incidents Tilikum was involved in. Mentioning that she is Tilikum's daughter when it is not related to the story can have the effect of creating unnecessary bias against this orca, as well as distract from the fact that any aggressive behavior in these orcas is the product of the conditions in captivity - not genetics. It's not as if Tilikum's behaviors are genetic and passed down to his daughter; they were, in all likelihood, manufactured by the environment he was in.
Most of us did watch blackfish, but they’re some inaccuracies (my advice, don’t challenge me because I pay attention to the details within the details), but the movie did make us to be more transparent about any animal and/or job site
@@tillikumfan1 Sir/ma'am - unless you are a marine biologist specializing in orca behaviors, you are challengeable by anyone, no matter how many details you think you know.
This has been happening for years we know they are beautiful and lovely animals but maybe they are just tired of being show puppets they have hearts they have feelings to weather we want to except it or not in so many ways they are like us !!
I mean, one of their trainers has already been killed in recent years. That same whale killed a man (who shouldn't have been in the tank). They will never be under obligation to release these orcas because there are no laws in place that force these parks to get rid of captive animals; they will only regulate the humans' behaviors towards them. The laws would need to change before that would be even remotely possibe.
The trainer wasn’t in the water (Malia was near the side of the enclosure and was having a husbandry session “health care”), I even heard Malia quickly reacted to let go (Malia is Tilikum’s daughter, which the channel didn’t say)
Not surprising given that this isn't the type of story that SeaWorld would be eager to have publicized. They are already side-eyed by the public for having orcas in the first place. The last thing they want is another bad story involving orcas.
This is such a silly report. Would you report every veterinarian that got bit, scratched, tripped, or whatever and not send a report in? Things happen when you care for animals. I get bit and scratched every time I cut my cats nails. Sometimes seriously. Is that news worthy????
Wow I feel so ignorant and shocked. Ignorant that I didn’t know sea world still had these poor animals and shocked that sea world still has these poor animals. So terribly sad
Malia was chewing on paint, Katina is the matriarch her daughter nalani is 2nd most dominant and Malia is last most submissive so shes probably stressed
And this is why they shouldn't keep these animals captured like they do😡 I don't Go to Sea World it is a horrible place these giant animals are supposed to be in the wide open ocean not in a small bathtub, it makes my stomach turn😭😭🙏
Jeez it’s almost like keeping 16K pound predatory animal in a glorified swimming pool is a bad idea. Hope the trainer heals okay, not their fault for what their employers do to orcas.
Politics aside, if that orca wanted to hurt her, she'd be dead. She'd have been dragged into the water in 4 seconds and that would have been it. I personally don't believe it was an intentional aggressive behavior.
Attacks on humans is not why they are called "killer whale". They do not attack humans in the wild. The name comes from the fact that they are the top apex predators of the ocean and have no predators. However, a human swimming in the ocean can safely swim near orcas. It's these captive orcas who are distressed and stressed who can become aggressive towards humans.
I mean, the trainer IS SeaWorld, so your comment makes absolutely no sense. Even if the trainer did not follow policy, it could give rise to questions about whether there are systemic issues at SeaWorld related to policy adherence and safety conditions. It can ALWAYS come back to SeaWorld if their employees are at fault because the employees ARE SeaWorld; that's literally how companies are held responsible for the actions of just one of their employees.
It's also typical of the SeaWorld to blame the little guy at their company - the lowly trainer. You want to talk about virtue posturing and slamming? Start there.
They should release the killer whales..Back to there natural habitat..its so sad to see how these majestic animals are used to entertain people in captivity..lt breaks my heart..
Seeing Trainers riding on their backs filled me with disgust. Yet still seeing them in tanks fills me with dread. These creatures belong in the wild not in captivity performing tricks.

It's not as if Tilikum's behaviors are genetic and passed down to his daughter; they were, in all likelihood, manufactured by the environment he was in.
Did anyone here watch "Blackfish"? That documentary has changed nothing, apparantly.
Most of us did watch blackfish, but they’re some inaccuracies (my advice, don’t challenge me because I pay attention to the details within the details), but the movie did make us to be more transparent about any animal and/or job site
@@tillikumfan1 Sir/ma'am - unless you are a marine biologist specializing in orca behaviors, you are challengeable by anyone, no matter how many details you think you know.
They need to lower there prices it's crazy how much a ticket cost
Only a matter of time before one of the captive orcas kills another trainer. Free them 😢
Damn....I thought the name of the animal was Training Pet Whale........not Killer whale. So confusing 🧐
Who the hell is still attending and supporting this is the real question
This has been happening for years we know they are beautiful and lovely animals but maybe they are just tired of being show puppets they have hearts they have feelings to weather we want to except it or not in so many ways they are like us !!
Too bad the whale didn't eat the trainer, then maybe another lawsuit to get these giants out of these little tanks. Poor Whale
AMEN!
I mean, one of their trainers has already been killed in recent years. That same whale killed a man (who shouldn't have been in the tank). They will never be under obligation to release these orcas because there are no laws in place that force these parks to get rid of captive animals; they will only regulate the humans' behaviors towards them. The laws would need to change before that would be even remotely possibe.
That’s what happens when you remove animals from their natural environment.
Blaming the trainer again. Classy Seaworld.
I didn’t think trainers were allowed in the water. Poor whales
The trainer wasn’t in the water (Malia was near the side of the enclosure and was having a husbandry session “health care”), I even heard Malia quickly reacted to let go (Malia is Tilikum’s daughter, which the channel didn’t say)
@@tillikumfan1 thanks for clarifying that up for me, I was wrong to think the trainer was in the water.
ask yourselves if this report makes sense… it took them how long to get this iffy report?
Not surprising given that this isn't the type of story that SeaWorld would be eager to have publicized. They are already side-eyed by the public for having orcas in the first place. The last thing they want is another bad story involving orcas.
This is such a silly report. Would you report every veterinarian that got bit, scratched, tripped, or whatever and not send a report in? Things happen when you care for animals. I get bit and scratched every time I cut my cats nails. Sometimes seriously. Is that news worthy????
Haha I got ‘em 😂 if I was locked up in here I wouldn’t have paint chips in my mouth in my orca’s voice
Wow I feel so ignorant and shocked. Ignorant that I didn’t know sea world still had these poor animals and shocked that sea world still has these poor animals. So terribly sad
Poor whale don't care about pos human
MALIA WHY
I though they stopped this crap
The logic is eerily similar to holding humans in captivity.
they don’t let you swim no more because of this 0:07
Malia was chewing on paint, Katina is the matriarch her daughter nalani is 2nd most dominant and Malia is last most submissive so shes probably stressed
And this is why they shouldn't keep these animals captured like they do😡 I don't Go to Sea World it is a horrible place these giant animals are supposed to be in the wide open ocean not in a small bathtub, it makes my stomach turn😭😭🙏
Geez, I wonder why she had paint chips and debris stuck in her teeth?
Not surprising AT ALL.
Mfs like i heard Jim Ersay pardoned lolita she goin home y not us 😂😂😂
Jeez it’s almost like keeping 16K pound predatory animal in a glorified swimming pool is a bad idea. Hope the trainer heals okay, not their fault for what their employers do to orcas.
Why tf were there paint chips in her mouth to begin with??
Just STOP keeping these animals in captivity!
These animals should not be captive….I’d never pay to see them. Gross
Politics aside, if that orca wanted to hurt her, she'd be dead. She'd have been dragged into the water in 4 seconds and that would have been it. I personally don't believe it was an intentional aggressive behavior.
Hope the whale is ok. F*** Sea World.
This is crazy they been lying for yearssssss about these whales attacking trainers.
They always try to cover it up!
I don't know what they expected with the name "Killer whale"
Attacks on humans is not why they are called "killer whale". They do not attack humans in the wild. The name comes from the fact that they are the top apex predators of the ocean and have no predators. However, a human swimming in the ocean can safely swim near orcas. It's these captive orcas who are distressed and stressed who can become aggressive towards humans.
Gee you guys sound upset you couldn't virtue posture and slam SeaWorld for something. This was clearly the trainers fault, imagine that.
I mean, the trainer IS SeaWorld, so your comment makes absolutely no sense. Even if the trainer did not follow policy, it could give rise to questions about whether there are systemic issues at SeaWorld related to policy adherence and safety conditions. It can ALWAYS come back to SeaWorld if their employees are at fault because the employees ARE SeaWorld; that's literally how companies are held responsible for the actions of just one of their employees.
It's also typical of the SeaWorld to blame the little guy at their company - the lowly trainer. You want to talk about virtue posturing and slamming? Start there.
They should release the killer whales..Back to there natural habitat..its so sad to see how these majestic animals are used to entertain people in captivity..lt breaks my heart..
They are tire of living in a pool and doing treats for people entertainment.
People will boycott beer but not sea world….
That was a huge boycott of SeaWorld years ago
Seeing Trainers riding on their backs filled me with disgust. Yet still seeing them in tanks fills me with dread. These creatures belong in the wild not in captivity performing tricks.
Have you considered therapy?
@@tessdurberville711 So because she cares about the well-being of a mammal known to be highly intelligent and social, she needs therapy? You sound ignorant.
@@anyaw340
You sound like an anti-cap, and I do not waste my time on silly teenage "activists".
Orcas belong in the ocean, not those stupid tanks!
It is the employee fault no training and safety b.s
