Great video! Thanks for posting! May I use some of this footage for a video on my shamu blog?

@shamurocks1395 Sure!

@DressingGownTV you're not being mean you're being moronic. This whale has no reason to be put down- its a wild creature born in the wild and trapped here, then criminalized because of its basic instincts. people who try to make money off of this manipulative industry are the ones who aught to be put down.

I still think it's stupid to bring this creature back into the show. It has attacked and killed before, and you are waiting for it to do it again. Would Dawn be welcomed back if she killed the whale?

I love Tili!!!!!

[njcleverley]

hes the most beautiful creature ive ever seen, this brought tears to my eyes watching this, its the chance you take getting in the water with theses whales! it is lovely to see tilikum back :-)

Like most people I am an Orca and dolphin lover. I am tired of hearing people say that Tillikum needs to be put down. What I want to say is that the trainers at Sea World knew NOT to get into the water with him. In some pictures on the day that Dawn died, RIP, you can see her in the water with Tillikum. It was not the whales fault.

=/ poor thing is in such a tiny tank.

he should never be put down. he is a wild orca in a bath tub... its cruel. he should go to a sea pen and live more freely.

@rosemary- GO KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoodParentsGoodkids]

@rosemaryfullofshit seems your a bitter lifeless person.DO us Tilikum fans a favor and FINISH YOURSELF OFF.OH! AND BEFORE YOU FINISH YOURSELF OFF TAKE THE REST OFF THE PICES OF TURDS LIKE YOU, THAT TALK SHIT TO HELL WITH YOU.

[rosamaryful]

They should have killed Tilikum for killing Dawn Brancheau!!! This is my opinion before anyone comments. You have stated your opinions and now I'm stating mine. FINISH HIM!!!

[ClassyNDFabulous]

To add to my previous comment, for some reason it didn't go through. They will always have these wild instincts .So God forbid another tragedy happens,, don't say you weren't warned SEA WORLD!!!

[ClassyNDFabulous]

I am very pleased that he is back as one of my thoughts were that Tili was going to be put down. However, you would think they would get the picture by now and set him free. It would be very unfortunate to have another tragedy happen as it did for Dawn (RIP). These whales are meant for the wild, as is to all other wild animals that are held captive. That being said you can take the animal out of the wild, but you can NEVER take the wild out of the animal,/mammal .. He will forever have these w
