RIP Tilikum, I'm sorry you had to endure countless torments in your 39 years (young for a male to die) at the torturous hands of Seaworld.
A moment of silence for the orca that endured so much and had so little.

Tilikum and Dawn Brancheau (RIP) at a performance before her death. (He killed her)

Tilikum with a bent dorsal fin getting away from the bullying of the other orcas.

That red circle is Tilikum's full time home. To him it's a bathtub.
Will Seaworld release other orcas who can be released? Probably not. 😡😭

Just wanted to share this tragic news and ask, what is your opinion of cetaceans (dolphins, whales etc) in captivity?
