Tillikum at Sealand of the Pacific

The orca (killer whale) known as Tillikum has killed a third person. This time a trainer at Sea World. In 1991 he and two others caused the death of a trainer at the now defunct Sealand of the Pacific, Victoria, Canada. As with other orcas and dolphins imprisoned in aquarium tanks there is an extreme history of psychological abuse. In this case, every evening Tillikum and two females were lock up in this steel pen called the "holding module". It measures only approiximately 25' x 30'.

Lifeforce is calling for an inquest into the recent death.
