Killer Whale drowns trainer Dawn Brancheau at seaworld

[comaradella]

Can you imagine, an animal who´s habitat is the waters of the planet,  in that bathtub?

I´m amazed she didn´t kill before

[littleponypet]

@va01081 there called kill

[finnayfrc]

Okay. Well, first of all, ALL whales who are performing in this circle shit thing, should be free because that must drive them MAD when they go in there. Secondly, this is obviously going to "shock" the world. People are going to feel sorry for this woman, but it wasn't even the whales fault. Who knows what happened to the whale. But I know this is kind of random, but it's kind of the same thing for Bull Fighting ... Once the bull's hurt someone, they get put to sleep. :(

[sharon4591]

i feel sorry for the trainer who ever is in her family

[va01081]

One thing they are called KILLER whales for a reason!!

[Artem1Artem1983]

f... idiot. stupid photos

[hunthicks]

I love how there's such a lack of logic in the world. People condemn others' decisions simply based on their opinion, and can't see the other side. Sure, wild animals survive fine in the wild. However, captive animals are often very content with their surrounds. Yes, they are changed, but often content and happy. And the woman killed? Living her dream no doubt. We could all stay tucked in our houses all our lives, couldn't we? We risk death every time we get on a bus, train, plane or car.

[SuperAngelgirl28]

God bless you Dawn

[dustyRN]

have to say if we all avoided sea world and their like we would not have sad events of this type, sad for the family and the whale.

[MrMyNameIsFuckU]

rest in peace

[joijoijoijkpk]

emphasis on the killer whale part... probs not a good idea

[Snapscape]

If I was locked up for years without reason, I would eventually kill someone too. People who respect these animals don't choose this line of work.

[kaygg1]

at least she died doing what she loved

[bballgirl4evz]

I looked this up yesterday and it said that it was her 2 year anniversary of her death! and when i looked it up it was the exact time! Creeeeeeeeeeeeepy :~```````````

[notepad90]

EWWW!!!! 0:47!!!

[teamedwardrocks1011]

omg i just looked it up today and its the 2 year annversy of her death! sad and weird

[bellahorse151]

I don't blame the animal. I mean honestly, where's the fire in that poor creature! People have to learn that they can't get every damned thing they want! These creatures show us everyday that they don't want to be put through this, and they just NEVER listen! So this is what they deserve for doing that! No animal should have to go through that! But sadly almost all of them do! Its not like it's a dog or a cat! It's not meant to be a pet, or anything of the sort!

[aaaarrrgggghh]

I am reporting this for faking the title

[TheFuzzyBuzzysisters]

stop making up bullshit story's about THE KILL WHALE when its not ttrruuee

[susterovic]

i hope the whale is still alive, it was just its instinct and im sure dawn wouldnt wish if people would kill the whale x

[DrVegasIII]

@susterovic Well it is the biggest whale in captivity AND the biggest breeder (21 or $o off$pring) so there'$ NO WAY they are gonna kill the whale !! It's also ridiculous that most people have a high regaurd for the trainers and may believe they're marine biologists are somethin respectable... trainers only make $15-$18/hour ! AND use food to coax the whales into doing everything, after the whale killed Dawn it wasnt fed regularly for a while to "condition" it to think it did something bad!

[FayHannahRose95]

i feel sorry for her family, but seriously Killer Whales are not on this earth for our entertainment. they should be free. that whale would of most likely been put down afterwards, and all because it was made to swim round in a tiny pool and perform stunts. this should teach people a lesson. that WIILD animals should be just that, and not captive.

[7mikethebike]

@FayHannahRose95 where do you get your facts, of orcas being destroyed for hurting or killing trainers? They don't usually do that to elephants, or any other large animal that squashes it's human handler. I can't imagine them risking the public relations nightmare .

[FearsAdamBlack]

@FayHannahRose95 I agree (Even though I've seen one of these shows, and enjoyed it immensely). But if an animal is endangered (even if we made it so), shouldn't we try and preserve the species? Having them perform for fish probably isn't the best way to do it, but maybe they do it not just for entertainment, but for money so they can keep taking care of these creatures as best they can? That's just my view on things, at least. :3

[tonimfx]

ofcourse killer whales dont just kill when there getting attacked .. how would they ruevive in the wild without killing something for food .... there dangerous

[rhianna103]

it was the trainer fault



[debsweetcakes]

EWWWWW! 47



[TozzyBomb64]

okay everyone stop saying they need to be free seaworld are helping them from all the people that fish thema dn such in fact theyre prettymuch helping them

[MyTaniwha]

Yeah that menstrating pussy dont help around Orcas

[7mikethebike]

am I wrong, or is there not one recorded orca attack on a human in the wild?

[FayHannahRose95]

@7mikethebike there has been no recorded fatal attacks in the wild. really puts this into perspective. something must have been wrong

[TheFreak426]

Does anyone know where a real video of her death is?

[JillAnderson]

Good for the whale.

Sick fucks at Seaworld.

If only there was a way to arm the whales with rocket launchers to even the odds. Love to see the sick crowds reaction to that.

[georgenad]

@JillAnderson absolutely agree with you, my heart goes to poor whales and dolphins. Seaworld should be closed,

[SerbianSmurf]

Fuck that dumb bitch, if you wana mess with a big ass animal thats primal instinct is to kill, and you put it in a swimming pool u deserve to be killed. idiots

[aj102602]

my mom said she wanted to go to sea world and i agreed but after i say this on the news i was on no im not going there fo me to get eatin my one oh this crazy whales thats why you can go to sea world but dont go in any type oh water!!!!!!

[Flopryn]

if killer whales don't kill, why is it called a KILLER WHALE

[MrCoolBlunt]

They dont even enjoy the things they have to do they just act like it to get food thats their instinct so let them eat the people who make them do it.

[kirk0respite]

gee whate a surprise she got killed swimming with a "killer" whale hmmm stupidity

[Iloveanimals8755]

well if he got scared and he probably went to her for protection and comfort they can't and don't know we can't hold our breath for as long as them it's not possible

[charlottemckee]

She died on my Birthday :(

[chrismachado07]

@charlottemckee me too...ouch



[HPNimbus2000]

Why does it say she passed away if she was killed ?!?!?!

[MonkeyBombSquad]

wonder why it killed her? here is why

1. you took it away from its home and caged it up in a little tank

2. you took it away from its friends and family because some but face was trying to make it a show so they can score some big cash (im not talking about the girl who died im talking about the zoo owner)

3. because they ignored the fact that its a wild animal and will act like one

4. because the stress of all the noise from the crowed and having to preform every day made him snap

[mit7652]

he must have gotten scared and went to the bottom with her

[lovestrey1]

so sorry



[JonDude51]

toung age at 0:49

[MrCandew]

I feel bad for the whale is that wrong?

[dymond06]

Call the video a tribute, dont say its a video of her drowning! Insensitive and cruel!

[hgallo3r]

He's a killa whale, but he'd rather be a pisces.

[hollowheartofmine]

it was playing it had to have been it just doesnt know its own strength thats all.

[lalaloopsy6018]

was the first pic how it happened

[Miss99Crazy]

these killer whales shouldn't be treated in a glass tank, they need to be free, so none of this will happen, thumbs up if you agree.

[lexiebug2]

hey that was 2 days before my bday :(

[anasstassia76]

FUCK SEA WORLD!!!

[catherinelowe1981]

Orcas aren't surfboards..i am not surprised he snapped!!!! They dont belong in a fishbowl!!!

Please watch 'The Cove' if you are a seaworld lover....free to watch full documentary on youtube...

[marleejoan]

@catherinelowe1981 It made me cry like a baby

[Nightwolfendor]

Mabye it was born in captivity, maybe an accident as a baby, I cant believe some people actually think it deservs here. She did what she loved and obviously the whales loved her to. 14 years with wales. 14 YEARS. We are so naive with this captivity. So if im having a Aquarium Im a animal abuser. We have dogs for entertainment to. And thats naturell. But when it comes to certain animals , its cruelty. These trainers knows a lot more of this animals than we do., Beutiful animals. R.I.P Dawn

[omfgenners]

@Nightwolfendor dogs were man made for domestication. Orca's weren't. See the difference?

though R.I.P to Dawn, cause 14 years of training is hard work, so she must've loved it.

[catherinelowe1981]

@Nightwolfendor Maybe this, maybe that...why not educate yourself & see the other side instead of speculating. Tilikum is his name, he has been in a fishbowl for the last 30 years. Most of his family were killed to put him here. So RIP to Tilly's family...he has killed three times & is currently being used as a sperm bank in SeaWorld...PETA are currently suing them for inslaving him, hopefully PETA will win(feb 2012). RIP to Tilly's family who dies when he was stolen from our oceans...!!!

[Maxamus101]

Actually, Wild animals will kill for reasons other than food or self defence. Sometimes they are just pissed off and need to get a point accross. Sometimes they kill for sport and sometimes they kill because they don't like competition. Just like People

[fivequotes]

im afraid to that..

[SuperMarushka1]

so sad

[libbyabbott1998]

so is she dead or alive cause people are saying shes dead and others are saying shes alive i hope its the second one

[pandalover90210]

NO HE DROWNED AND LIVED

[Cobac]

1 person dies and we make a DRAMA out of it ? there are 7 billion humans out there and gazilionz of trillions of other lifes of other species

[lexysimpson1]

so sad

[mr1000rx]

Tribute to animal cruelty.

[gothninja15]

dumb asses should leave them alone its like sticking you head in a loins moth and trusting it hell i say its who ever came up with this should have seen it coming and there for should be responsible

[igottapetrock9]

@gothninja15 Shut up. I have a pet wolf and I do that all the time....

[fatdrood]

that what you get for 'caging" such an awesome animal

[MetalFluffyNinja1]

@fatdrood It could have been in captivity because it wasn't fit to live in the wild too you know...

[JustinBieber1234368]

zdfgvbhn,mjvgcxdfvgbn

[XxXxXlilJXxXxX]

FREE WHALES=NO TRAINERS DEAD

-.- end of condo

[TYTY2500]

thats so sad

[candyy10279]

killer whales dont kill , there has to be a reason why it did that a animal doesnt attack unless its being attacked .

[norwegianterminator]

@candyy10279 an animal dosent attack unless its being attacked? sharks have attacked humans swimming/surfing, crocks and gators have attacked humans with sustenance in mind, there are records of big cats, like lions and tigers, hunting humans... your talking shit mate.

[azaz621]

@candyy10279 il tell u y bcuz there keeping them from there own kind and family and keeping them in tiny pools and forced to do tricks the exact SAME AS ANIMAL CRUELTY

[alieneater17]

@candyy10279 animals don't usually attack without having motivation would have been a better way of saying it

[monarchxandor]

@candyy10279 true ............its sad for the trainer but these animals belong in the wild ....its discusting what they must do at sea world.......let them free ..i do,nt untherstand why people go to these shows..orka,s have their instincts and just do,nt belong in captivity

[candyy10279]

@monarchxandor Finnaly someone agreess !

[irisharchie]

@candyy10279 That is a stupid statement. There is a reason why it is called a killer whale. Its instinct. If a bee stung you would you say "oooohh! I must have attacked it". If you walked next to a lion and it bit you would you say "oooohh! I must have attacked it".

Morale of the story. Dont cage a killer whale because it will do what it says. Kill

[candyy10279]

@irisharchie thats yur opinion and i dont need it

[cooldude9997]

@candyy10279 Even tame, they are still wild animals at heart.

[vidaminfeeder2]

@candyy10279 dont be stupid they are very vicouse animals there mind can change from kind to very dangerouse

[PeaceLoveTofu88]

@candyy10279 Orcas are predators. They have hunting instincts just like wild cats, birds of prey, wolves, etc. Creatures with those types of instincts don't need a clear 'reason' to do something like this... If the slightest trigger sets them off, they are taken by their instincts. The trigger could have been anything from the tone of the trainer's voice to something in the crowd that made the Orca feel threatened... Whatever it was. Meh.

[Snipes3902]

@candyy10279 Haha what!? are you retarded? They're called killer whales because they kill. I dare you to swim in the same ocean or tank with one and don't attack it or go too close. I beat it comes to you and has a bite because it's hungry and that's what they do....KILL! Also are you trying to say Dawn 'attacked' this animal or provoked it to attack her? She loved whales and would never do anything of the sort, humans don't have the physical strength to hurt them anyways.

[georgenad]

@Snipes3902 if she really loved whales she would try to free them not to train them. I would not call it love to keep an animal in a swimming pool. It is like put human in a cage and say that you love him or her.

[MrUkstriker]

@candyy10279 Actually I would think that it would probably be on account of the stress and anxiety of having to swim in circles all day. Dolphins are evil. That was a red herring.

[repeatedjellyfish]

@candyy10279 I think they just had a bad day, like the rest of the days when they discover they live in a little bowl.

[roliver31483]

@candyy10279 Tell that to a hungry lion that hasnt eaten in a couple wks...

[Lewisreptiles]

Well i guess now we know that killer whales.

*puts on glasses*

Kills

[TheHAYLEI]

she wanted to be there...the whale didn't.

[jameswanantony]

dawn looks like the dolphin lady in jaws 3 who goes out with micheal and helps kill the shark at the end. R.I.P DAWN!

[Superronny212]

Ok fukin bitches who say it's good she was killed u shuld b killed ya whales deserv to b free but no1 deserves to die for nothing get a fukin life

[Cirkelo]

Good for the whale... it finally got its revenche. You can not have love for these animals if you keep them in cages!

[littlekitten521]

guys stop fighting

[gummoboy333]

what a STRONG AMAZING WOMAN, just think of all the kids she impressed around the holidays showing all her family pics of her riding on a Killer whale, wow they must have been overly impressed, god bless her!

[Coopzy65]

SHE WAS ONLY DOING HER JOB YOU SAD BASTARDS! NOT HER FAULT THE WHALES ARE THERE! GET A HEART

[haantje68]

@Coopzy65 And the whale just had enough of being pushed around just to entertain people every day over and over again. She knew that there is a risk about working with wild animals.

[vandaahll]

Whales are responsible for the nukes on Hiroshima.

Open you eyes to the truth people... whales are evil!!

[chadilychannel]

@freakshow329 I regret having to admit that the animals would sadly not survive in the wild on their own. In such places as SeaWorld they are treated like pets which doesn't help them learn how to hunt for themselves. Also they are used to humans being around them every day. If they released them into the wild they just wouldn't survive.

[HotPeppers57]

uh guys this is all fake she is still alive

[grannon0cannon411]

@HotPeppers57 no she died. show some sympathy you jack wagon

[sexichic96]

@grannon0cannon411 teheheee... jack wagon...

[zuperlugia1234]

@HotPeppers57 no retard she really did die there is a news report about it here on youtube go watch it if you dont believe me

[Coopzy65]

@HotPeppers57 NO SHE ISNT. SHE IS FUCKING DEAD!

[hermanewa]

no mercy .. Well let this be a lesson again!!! free all orcas. and do not buy tiket. for this disgusting parks. later people

[werewolflovification]

Guys this isn't the whales fault, what happened was she put her hair in a pony tale but the whale she was working with can't work with long haired people unless there hair is in a bun, becuz the whale she was working with thought her ponytail was a fish, so it really isn't ALL the whales fault.

[seanoevil7]

THERE IS NO TANK, NO POOL, NO CONFINEMENT ANYWHERE ON THIS EARTH THAT CAN REPLICATE THE OPEN THE OCEAN BY EVEN 1%, I HAVE 10,000$ FOR A PROCAP TO GO AND SPENT 10 YEARS IN A SOLITARY CONFINEMENT CELL ON THE MOON, WITH AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, LOUD BLASTING MUSIC THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD IN YOUR LIFE IN YOUR SOLITARY TANK. AFTER 5 YEARS WEL SEND A PARTNER SO YOU CAN HAVE A BABY, THEN THAT BABY CAN LIVE THE REST OF ITS LIFE IN THAT TANK, IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOREVER AND EVER.....................

[seanoevil7]

WHAT HAPENS WHEN SLAVES GO INSANE, TAKEN FOR PLACES LIKE THE BERING SEA AND PUT IN A TANK IN SLAVEWORLD, SICKFLAGS VALLEJO.

[ApplesTM]

She deserved it for willingly torturing a whale.

[queenkong45]

@ApplesTM Message me so I can explain to you, it is not torture.

[EpicSuperman1337]

umm i know this sounds wrong..okay? but i wanna see exactly what happened

[queenkong45]

@EpicSuperman1337 I did. 

[mywalle1]

The scary thing is, My name is Dawn....and my b-day is Feb. 23 O_O

[nrako]

wild need to be wild

[nPeregrine1]

Well, that's what happens when you place an apex predator in a confined situation. If a trainer is killed by an orca, they had it coming.



[freakshow329]

FREE THE KILLER WHALES, SO NONE OF THIS WILL HAPPEN! thumbs up if you agree.

[FutureOrkidTrainer]

@freakshow329 Your a tard!!! You want them to die!??!

[302yt]

No matter how experienced a trainer u are..... nature still rules.

[puppies99ful]

O: my b-d is feb 25

[MultiBelle22]

No matter how tame an animal in a wildlife park may seem, they will always be wild! Why can't people see that?

[jemzfox123]

and DOGS are not Dolphins.. let them go also..

[123offensive]

they kill them whale? or did it pass away

[sukisuzuki10]

@gregoryken, I think the clue is in the name, go back and check it again;)

[CyborgClown]

I want to see the video of her getting killed by it

[wuhtsup]

i thought it was the whale that died at first

[snowman123213clone]

Animals are animals, we can do whatever the fuck we want with them, if God gave us animals what do we do with them? Live in harmony with them? My ass, the whale kills the girl so might as well kill the ones that dont work well. Honestly you sick people piss me off, you all are hating on Sea World when you should be praying or giving your condolences for this woman. This was horrible and I think they should let down Tilikum because it cause 2 other deaths.

[thefunnystuffplease]

not being funny, but she almost kind of chose her fate when she decided she wanted to become a "trainer" you cant tame what dosnt want to be tamed. people forget that when the piss about with nature. people will never understand that they arent the masters of everything.

[norelixis]

at least she is in a better place :) with the other dead trainers...so sad

[HiPeople124567]

Oh My Gosh That's Horrible!

[AlchemistHawk]

Why do weird people who know nothing of another person that died publicly feel the need to made a very sympathetic video (to the point its nauseating) in a "tribute" to said person?

[09pcgamer]

@AlchemistHawk to much time on there hands?

i never got it either.

[NovaScotiaPride]

@AlchemistHawk Their giving their condolences. Don't be such an insensitive bastard. You obviously have no heart.

[sammysyrett]

trainer or not, killer whales hsould ntot be kept in captivity and be used as $ signs, educate people not use these animals as show things! ... or they will get pissed off! ....

[linqqx]

What I dont really understand was, how can someone bite th hand of th one whom feeds them.. O.O?

[linqqx]

Anyway to watched th incident?

[lilmisscookie11]

I knew this thats why I'm afraid of killer whales I always put my hair in a ponytail

[busta4life27]

hey y dont u call this a tribute. nice vid but dont mislead...

[killykillyninja]

LAALALALLALALALALALALALLALALAA­A

thats what you get for standing on it and riding it like a horse and biitng its toung

[MultiMazuki]

Who cares about the slave trainer? This should be for the whale they killed!

[bodyxguard]

thats what happens when you keep something free and majestic in a fucking cage....karmas a bitch aint it. She didnt deserve it but she should of saw it coming

@jbarker98420 313!!!

[Tylerwaffleblue]

@jbarker98420 dude seaworld SAVES animals and if they dont heal, they stay there and there treated very well and loved very much, so before bitching, look at what the company does

[Believe13at]

@jbarker98420 fuck seaworld... no thats not right.... fuck you, Dawn is an inspiration and seaworld has done so much good so fuck off

[FutureOrkidTrainer]

@Believe13at You tell em girl!

[Believe13at]

@FutureOrkidTrainer I HATE it when people put those kind of comments on tribute videos. especially when its not an orca but a person, not just a person but Dawn who will always be my biggest hero

[FutureOrkidTrainer]

@Believe13at IKR!!! They obviously have no hearts or brains -____-

[shamurocks111]

@FutureOrkidTrainer Thank you! On "Killer whale attacks trainer and throw SLOMO" someone said Dawn was a whore! It REALLY pissed me off and i put in a nasty response! Dumbass

[FutureOrkidTrainer]

@shamurocks111 OH HELL NO! I'll be back -___-

[hornetsnest001]

@jbarker98420 any relation to Bob?

[jhecker1988]

@hornetsnest001 lol the sea lion?? lol

[JoannaRocks777]

I went here when I was 8 and saw Shamu. but i refuesed because of what i said b4

[JoannaRocks777]

It may look like a HUGE tank to us, but to the animals it is a thimble.

[JoannaRocks777]

to all of those people saying it was born there, IT WASN't becasue they would have to capture it's mom and take her baby and then i bet they kill the mom

[JoannaRocks777]

FUCK YOU SEAWORLD!

[JoannaRocks777]

@nofovos You are right. Unlike @lionstar

[JoannaRocks777]

@lionstar p.S A lot of people agree with me. SO HA HA!
