[cheesecakeonice]

I COULDNT SLEEP A WINK AFTER I SAW THIS.I WONDER WHAT SHE WAS THINKING AT THAT TRIVIAL MOMENT.THIS IS REALLY REALLY REALLY SAD I HOPE HER FAMILY DRAWS STRENGHT FROM THE LORD.MAY HER SWEET LOVING SOUL REST IN PEACE :(

[darthzenos]

I still very sad about her death, but i do not think is fault of the whale.

Orcas dont belong in tiny fish tanks! :'(

[indianaboy52]

What not blame tily?!?!? He fucking killed her! AND two other people. Tily's a monster I say they create an electric chair big enough to fit his fat ass in and fry his ass in front of Alllll the other whales and show why they shouldn't fuck with the top of the mother fuckin food chain! R.I.P. Dawn

@indianaboy52 grow up

[markisharodriguez]

@indianaboy52 you are one arrogant person! no animal that big belongs in a cage or tank! are you slow were you dropped on your head as a child??? that women i'm sure knew the risk of working with an animal of that size. it her own fault! not the wales. how the fuck would you feel to be locked in prison and be forced to entertain loud annoying people like yourself.

@TheDjalke grow up

This whale had killed twice before though.

If Dawn was such an animal lover then why on earth did she want to work with captive wild animals? Keeping wild whales in a swimming pool is an accident waiting to happen I dont understand why more people dont realize its not conservation its for the money.

I am so sorry for her loss I just hope that the people in seaworld learn from this

[amzyyyy]

let these beautiful orcas free!!! 

[peanutmiley630]

she always inspired me to keep believing i would go to SWO every 3 months and she would always talk to me for like an hour!!!

[gothgrl63]

i was fortunate enough to know dawn. she called me her 'project girl'. i have asthma (it's not severe) but i needed to build lung capacity. everytime i saw her after a show she would make sure i was 'project girl' and would update me on breathing exercises. thanks to her, my lung capacity has tripled. she was incredible and will continue to be missed

[peanutmiley630]

Her sister is right she did touch so many peoples lives especially mine

[gothgrl63]

@peanutmiley630 out of curiousity, how did she touch your life? it just shows how incredible she was :)

[tokersrule]

@peanutmiley630 i actually think accidents can happen

thats like saying ppl that get murdered, its their time to go, and its w/e

[lolove140]

@peanutmiley630 Thats a stupid comment! People are not BLAMING "Tilly." They are suggesting that animals like it should not be held captive doing silly shows but be left in the wild or simply be taken care of (w/out the forced entertainment) if it can't be left in wild. They get aggravated and attack and put everyone else in harms way. Everyone is blaming people like YOU not the whale- it didn't ask to be an entertainer. There was evidence that it was aggravated but they continued anyway.

[lolove140]

@peanutmiley630 I would like to add- if u didnt know- that she was grabbed and thrashed so violently that her shoe flew off then was dragged and drowned. So I beg u to go swim with "Tilly" esp. when he's aggravated.

"It was her time to go" *roll my eyes*
