Tilikum is not the only lonely whale in the world. There is a whale that the U.S has been tracking for a while, the whale's frequency is much higher then normal whales therefore other whales cannot here him. He has been swimming the ocean alone having no one able to hear him. Go on google and search up the loneliest whale in the world and you'll read about him, its quite heart breaking as much as this is.

@rwilli94

what needs to be done, is he should go to a sea pen.

hed have the sights and sounds that were different everyday, keepers looking after him, and perhaps contact with wild whales, he would be able to hunt live fish and be mentally stimulated.

but sadly seaworld will never let him go as 1) he makes tham too much money from breeding

and 2) it would make them look like they are admitting that its cruel to keep them in captivity, and seaworld would never admit that.

you can never take a killer out of an animal :(

FOR GOODNESS SAKE PEOPLE! I cant believe how many people are making videos saying "oh Tilikum is so lonely, Oh he is horrible' and all that rubbish! his species are bread to kill and swim far and long, they are not bread for our stupid entertainment and to be kept in a small tank...It's makes me sick. Why can't we just let them be free? We dont need to watch and look after every animal in thwe world! they can look after themselves just like we can! they dont interfier with our life!

Even though they use Tilikum for breeding they really should do what is best for him and put him somewhere else and give him a chance of being happy. Whales in captivity need that interaction and if they can't give him that they need to let him go I don't think this is right...he's an animal. It's a shame what happened to Dawn and all but treating this whale like this is wrong!

I, I, I, I. Shut up woman!

@KazzyUW this whale has killed 3 of it's owners. the whale should be REHABILITATED back into the wild.

i don'y understand that she said he dosen't know wat he has done well he must know because he never see's his trainer that his done something

Poor poor beautiful animal, people should stand up for him and demand a better solution for him to spend his lonely life..........indeed a sea-pen would be so much happier for him to live in, and then maybe in time a release back into the wild?? This is so cruel to let him be like this........my heart goes out for him!!! So sorry Tilly for the hurt and loneliness that we cause you.........

Don't know much about this.. BUT would he survive in the ocean ? oh yeah He killed Dawn.. very Sad, after all the training she did with him, RIP Dawn and much love to her family, but what should seaworld do with him ... chuck him back in the ocean and see what happens or keep him at seaworld and him alive and do what they are doing and also keep the trainers safe ....? It's a tough question , with no ideal answer ............ RIP Dawn, Keep Tilikum safe and alive .......
