- The movie was recorded in February 21st 2010, at Florida Sea World Park.
Later on the movie you can see Dawn Brancheau performing.
Just 3 days later Dawn Brancheau was killed by Tilikum, a killer whale or orca..After a show.Brancheau was rubbing Tilikum as part of a post-show routine when the orca grabbed her by her ponytail or left arm and pulled her into the water. Dawn Brancheau was only 40 years old when she tragically died.
Tilikum died on January 6th, 2017 from an infection, at 35 years old.

What incredible footage of an incredible woman. Thank you for posting :)
2make aplaylist nothing heroic about this. She died, not because she was helping them (which would make her a hero). She died because she was utilizing them as slaves for her own profit (and that of seaworld). Sad ending for everyone involved.
Incredibly stupid.
@Sue Burgess Don't be ridiculous. That's an ignorant comment - Don't watch hun
Incredibly stupid...
You’re welcome.
Dawn graduated with me from high school. Although not friends she was a bright light, never arrogant and always smiling. Although beautiful and top of her class, she was kind and approachable. Such a loss.
Everyone who dies was a bright light. “Her smile could light up a room” 🙄 be fr
Sharks are afraid of these creatures. Putting these huge predators in a tank for our own amusement and entertainment? Bad idea.
I couldn't agree more...
Christian Banuelos no it would happen sooner or later where talking about one of the biggest predators here trapping them in tanks for our own entertainment? Definitely a bad idea! I see nothing sad about this I only see a orca acting out of rage and anger and to me that’s understandable u can call me heartless but I feel like they deserved it.
Sorry if I sounded rude and I do feel a bit bad for dawn but I just feel like if they never captured these orcas the wild that would have never happened!
It works fine most of the time. Tilikum was abused early in life in Canada and had a really rough life.
I couldn’t agree more
Wow! Dawn is an absolutely beautiful woman inside and out!! You can see this light in her presence 💕
It is amazing what Dawn could do. She had an amazing way about her. That being said. This is also chilling to watch in a way. The power of these animals is immense. It boggles the mind. To think we ever thought a man could control an Orca. Truly..
Truly horrific and cruel.
@@snowysnail2018 Absolutely
It is not "control" it is just apply the theory of operant condition. The orcas will refuse sometimes to do the behaviors but that's ok, trainers will just an LRS and continue the session to avoid frustration. The key is to keep the animal motivated to colaborate with you, if the animals doesn't want to then nothing will be done.
@@tursiopss Congrats on not comprehending my comment at all. Next time you think of replying. Maybe make sure you understand the context. And are not set off by the use of a word.
Because I know all about the theory behind the "training". I don't need your wikipedia copy/paste lol.
@@Wickedlove263 hey it's ok. I'm just tired of people assuming the animals are some way forced to do everything and by the comment "we ever thought a man could control an orca" it just felt like that... I'm just saying.
Not Dawn's fault, but we as humans are ALL guilty of being so arrogant to think we know what's best for all species. We as humans want to be left to our own to pursue our own life liberty and happiness. Why can't we respect the same right to others?
Sorry but I had nothing to do with this nonsense. And and it was absolutely her fault. She put herself in a danger ever time she worked alongside these killer whales...She was part of the machine. Only a deranged delusional , sadistic maniac could imagine a relationship that was positive when the other party is an out right hostage.. This 🦓 was a prisoner and had to beg for food. DB was a run of the mill asshole. She obviously had no respect for the animals instinct to kill and for how inferior she was when alongside theses creatures in their element. If no one forced her in....and no one did. It’s absolutely her fault. Rest in pieces.
Greed, selfishness, arrogance, not caring, you know, all the good stuff that compromises human nature.
@@timtube1171 right sadly she was stupid!! Man I say dont get in the water with the KW and live to lie another day!!! They're all liars about orcas! From life span to dorsal fin collapse! Etc etc the only truth is they live in the OCEAN...
Because we are pursuing our own life liberty and happiness. and KW tricks bring happiness to people from 8 years old to 88 years old. So our happiness is comtigent on thjeir misery but wee do have that right and its written in the bible.
@@timtube1171 rest in pieces, ouch lol
Her energy was absolutely incredible! Truly beautiful soul.
You can tell she genuinely loved these animals,and what she did. She’s certainly brave; there’s absolutely no way I would go anywhere near (let alone get into) any water that deep with anything that big. Truly magnificent animals. So sorry what happened to her however.
Dawn & Tilli are together in Heaven, all is forgotten, and he is giving her rides in the eternal sea of tranquility. What a beautiful dream :).......
💖💖💖💖
RIP Tilikum and Dawn 😪
Loud music, small tanks, making wild animals do silly stuff for dumb people, Its animal cruelty , and Dawn Brancheau unfortunately was part of the problem. How anyone can think that this is an appropriate way to deal with these huge wild animals is beyond me. Brancheau and her co workers all around the world who work in similar shows obviously never thought twice about what they were doing there...and of course the owners of Sea World are nothing but money counting criminals...sorry but its true.
100%
Santacruz I totally agree with you sorry but that woman knew what she was doing
Agree , this is pure Animal cruelthy, when people visits this shows then you sponsors cruel animal suffering, no mercy for the trainer, feel sadness for this poor animals
SeaWorld claimed dawn was dragged in by her ponytail when she was supposed to have a bun. That’s BS tho because here it’s clearly okay to have a pony tail. Also that was their way of blaming her (even tho she did nothing wrong) when the whale grabbed her arm anyways. It’s not the whales fault that we drove it to do this.
I know this is old; but I read reports that all three ended up going after her after the initial attack.. were there 3 in the tank similar to this on the day of the attack?
If anyone is wondering what whale she's preforming with, it's Katina. :)
Good so it not are ”the killer ”
It's kayla
Yeah, looks like Kayla.
How can u tell
William med Vänner tilikum did it because captivity isn’t natural so to call him a killer seems very harsh
Man, sea world doesn’t get crowds that size anymore.
25 years ago I took my kids to sea world, it was the first time we had been to America. We did all the attractions, as you do. It was amazing but never did I once think back then about how dangerous, or about the way the whales were being used . I am ashamed to say. Things were different back then. Now it makes me very upset to think these and many other animals lose there natural life just so people can make money from it. I wonder if things will EVER change. I think not. 😪😪
It can change if enough people are educated about how much abuse these killer whales have to go through. They need to be boycotted and put out of business.
Thanks for sharing! Tilikum was not allowed to do shows because of his aggressive/possessive behavior...
He had killed 3 before, when they invaded his space... Dawn was amazing and loved what she did! This was not Tilikum
He had killed 2, then Dawn.
who knew 3 days later she would be gone.. :( at least she got to work with the beautiful beasts
i kinda knew....but like i didnt wanna jjst come oiut and say it....ya know? But i jad a feelimng.
Yes she did get to work with those beautiful and amazing creatures but it's wrong, plain and simple, no two ways about it. It's wrong! Those Orca are imprisoned and they've done nothing wrong! Those Orca are only guilty of being beautiful and amazing and uneducated people, unthinking people and selfish uncaring people who are still attending these horror shows are perpetuating and extending these creatures misery on and on!!! And they're drugged all the time and mistreated, abused even! It's shameful and shocking!
OSHA did state prior to the tragedy that if someone hadn’t died yet because of the killer whales, it was bound to happen sooner or later. a death was a bit anticipated, but also extremely preventable. i do express an abundant amount of empathy for dawn, despite it being nearly a decade ago since her departing.
yeah or even if it was 4 days later...
RIP Dawn. An inspiration to mankind, hope u and tili have talked things out and are good friends
Alastair's Aviation Channel so you think that Orcas can speak in heaven?
The Naturaliste Hub No one sits higher than God and Jesus Christ, you my friend are not the judge of who gets into heaven
The Naturaliste Hub No actually- I believe your response denotes a lack of intelligence
You dumb twit - This woman had to have knowledge keeping in orca in captivity wasn’t going to end well I’m not saying her death is warranted but what fool would get in the pool with a killer whale
Hardly an inspiration she aided and abetted the crime, seriously how do people justify this cruelty.
It's really creepy to think of what will happen 3 days after this...
It's spooky, watching this now, and *knowing* that Tilikum will kill her three days later.
How childish...*spooky*!
Cruelty at th highest height! Unnatural and exploitive! R.I.P Orca & Dawn 😢
They came here together to teach us. Both the beauty and the Beast forever swimming together in the solar seas free to be.
Unlike with zoos, these animals are BRUTALLY captured from the wild and torn from their families. THEN put Inside of a tank which for this animal is like us being in a multi mirrored environment where we just cannot get our bearings ever. Imagine being in a place like that forever and ever and ever.
😡😡😔😔😡😡😔😔😡😡😔😔😡😡😡😡😡
thank you for share this video and may they both rest in peace
The orcas at seaworld eat what is similar to a fast food diet. They get frozen fish which lacks the proper nutrients they need and totally cuts out their predator instinct to hunt their own food and because the fish is frozen it is severely lacking in the water content that the orcas need to survive. Keep in mind these animals swim hundreds of miles a day and hunt things as big as sea lions and even in rare cases, Great White Sharks which have a lot of water content to satisfy these large animals. Seaworld supplements the animals lack of water by feeding them gelatin which is extremely calorically dense and makes the orcas appear fatter than they would be if they just had the fish diet. But some orcas in their care are still considered underweight when compared to wild orcas. It’s so sad that it took multiple people losing their lives for change to start happening in the marine park industry. Still Seaworld has the Orcas and other intelligent marine creatures in their custody, and while they’ve stopped the circus style shows they still have the orcas perform instead of releasing them to be rehabilitated in their natural habitat. Of course Sea World will hold onto their Orcas for as long as they can because they are by far the biggest money drawing aspect of the park but it’s sad to see that these orcas could very well languish in the park for another 50 years instead of being allowed to live in open ocean.
You’re very uneducated. Releasing these orcas who have never hunted or been in the ocean would be the same as killing them
She was extremely angelic. Her swimming skills are magnificent
There's not another way to learn about this great creatures?..
you can tell she really loved the animals. so sad that the thing that brought her so much joy was tragically the one to kill her. rest in peace dawn. these videos make me sad & happy at the same time.
Rest in peace, TILIKUM!!! 💕
Beautiful woman and my biggest inspiration
It makes me really mad watching this
this was so sketchy I'm surprised she didnt have an accident before
There are so many things off with this performance. Dawn didn't make it all the way on her stomach at the beginning of her dance to stroke Kayla....Also halfway through another trainer had to give Kayla some fish, which made the timing of the rest of the performance off. And the last thing I saw was that Kayla didn't come up on cue to do the last part. In all the documentaries I have seen, she was having slight troubles connecting during some behaviors. On the day she died, Tilly didn't hear the cue to come get food, instead he did his pectoral wave around the whole pool instead of only half, this is why he didn't get his reward (Fish) so they moved on. Tilly was confused. I know not every performance is perfect, and REALLY it's not good for these animals to be doing tricks for our entertainment in captivity, but they are beautiful animals and really I would like to see them all free in the wild. Just observing the performance... RIP Dawn, you did what you loved and we are all proud of you, RIP Tillikum, you were a special whale who YES needed to be free, but I know Dawn loved you and took care of you as well as she was taught. We just know now that the best thing for these orcas is to just let them be wild and see them in their natural habitat. As much as she loved them, I know that is what Dawn would want.
What is this supposed to mean?
@@TravelGirl775 How can you be proud of Dawn? She was part of the corporate structure that made up SeaWorld. These animals were abused year after year. They are wild, not made to perform tricks and perform for our amusement. They belong in the ocean.
You are taking these killer whales, a highly intelligent animal, that has complex social structures with its own kind, and putting them in one of the most unnecessary and unnatural environment they can be in. They can swim 100 miles a day in the ocean, and they are put in what is essentially the equivalent of a bathtub. I'm sure she loved the whales, and had alot of positive characteristics, but she overlooked the fact that keeping killer whales in captivity is outright abuse. If she truly loved them, she wouldn't have even had this job and overlooking the fact this relationship she had with them is the most unnatural type of relationship a killer whale can have. They aren't here to perform for us so we can all be entertained by them. There needs to be a federal law banning these companies such as SeaWorld to have the right to exist to begin with. People need to be educated about killer whales and dolphins in captivity and boycott SeaWorld and all companies that offer this type of entertainment.
@@TravelGirl775 Very Well Stated..!!!
@@kevinmalone3210 I feel you but Dawn was a human being she didn't deserve to die like that..
can I use a split second of the segment with dawn for an educational video?
Sure, as long as you credit me with a link to my video :)
Amelia Green thank you!
They have plenty of video. And its funny how no one, no one? got any video on their phone? and the one video on. u toob shows her minutes before and then suddenly nothing else. Sea World Good Squad.
The music is horrendous. No wonder the whales are nuts listening to this 20 times a day 😨😲
They blamed her ponytail which is a lie. Witnesses say he grabbed her arm. She had a long ponytail in all these shows. No one was supposed to be in the water with him and she was in the water, albeit on a platform, but still submerged in 4-5 inches of water and right next to his face in the pool. It wasn't the ponytail. He had an opportunity and he took it. They did not take his 2 prior murders seriously and even had code "Tilly Talk" at SeaWorld indicating that he you wouldnt survive if you got in the water with him. She should have been protected better by her employers who should have had much stricter rules.
That whale loved her.
He must have grieved terribly after she was gone.
May god rest the beautiful souls of Dawn and Tili , Swim together in that big ocean in the sky 🐋💕
Just look at them and I think that she died doing what she loved most! Two beautiful creatures who love each other and accidents happen
That incident wasn't an accident it was a premeditated attack
BS...the whale has to do tricks or they starve them.
Too bad these waterworks were cancelled I can understand why but the older killer whales would love to do waterworks again rest in peace Dawn and keltie byrne
STOP GOING IN THESE PLACES - STOP GOING WHERE WILD ANIMALS ARE EXPOSED LIKE PETS
They actually tired to blame her death on the ponytail
That long ponytail looked like a fish swaying in the water! Tillikum went violently enraged when Dawn failed to feed him fish after he waved goodbye to the crowd a little extra time, and failed to return to her immediately when she signaled with her whistle. He was fed up with frequent hunger pangs, when in the wild he could’ve eaten all the fish he desired!
Reading all the reports on this case, it’s more than likely that her hair did float in his mouth and she did try to yank it out when his jaw closed, not her arm as suggested because he went for her hair again at some point. The mistake she made, in my beliefs, was panicking and pulling at her ponytail. Yanking was trying to pull it away from Tilikum, who was known as being possessive. Whatever he grabs he keeps. Why he kept her for so long in the water (45mins). Like I’ve said she’s human and who knows how we would react. From what I read, she did try and stay calm in the water. It’s just unfortunate that when she was in, there was no way she’d get out.
He bit her arm off, read the autopsy.
If you reall really have a burning desire to work with fish. Check Petco,
Did anyone know that shamus mother was killled right in front of her in a breeding tank 😭😭😭
TheTriplc Is this comment referring to Orkid?
When? Shamu died in 1997. After that shamu became a title for whales so what whale are you refering to?
LetrellDisney Games didn't Shamu die in the 1960's? I thought she was the first SW orca?
These whales operate Under stokholm syndrome...but in their core truly hate the the captivity....and i(ii
The Kamogawa SeaWorld (no connection to the U.S. parks) puts this one to shame! This show looks like Cirque du Soleil with a couple of orcas thrown in. In Japan, they are fed at least 20 fish after every behavior, not 1 or 2. The trainers have their hands overflowing and they don't fling them into their mouths.The amount of physical affection and positive reinforcement is amazing and the show is never the same, they keep it fresh and interesting. These trainers look like they had no feelings for, or were afraid of the orcas. Terrible.
Edit: Tilikum was hungry and/or horny.
Let them go !!!
Could of been anyone rip
not true. i woulkd never put myself in that situation. so re think your blanket bullshit.
Not Me it couldn't.
I love it I'll be just like Dawn
How do they train them to do this?!?! I seriously want to know.
Hand signals/motions.
we all love animals and we all want the very best for them, but much of the time unfortunately, we are doing it completely wrong.
Especially for the almighty dollar!
So we dont Really love them. We just say the words. And hope that "someone will do something about it."
Dawn is inspiring and flawless! God bless her! God bless the orcas!
RIP.Down And Tillikum
Does anyone know why the red light on the stage is activated? I thought that was a system they put in place after Dawn died?
RIP to dawn brancheu
It's pathetic that Sea World tried to blame Dawn for her own death due to wearing a ponytail when you can clearly see in this show 3 days before her death she had the same ponytail.
It’s all about money. These animals shouldn’t be there in the first place.
I agree
Yup and witnesses said he grabbed her left arm. The pictures of her, IN THE WATER WITH HIM right before he grabs her shows her next to him. On a 4-5" platform or not, she was right next to him, lying down, in the water, where he easily could reach her full body... and he did. SeaWorld should have had much stricter rules for a whale that had already killed 2 people.
Had nothing to do with her hair🤔.....animals live by instinct, they see black and white.,. uniform....looks like a seal 🦭........🤷🏿
No one swam with Tillikum . He was used for breeding.
It's sad when anyone gets hurt, but be real - these animals do not have a bond to their trainer, as perhaps the trainer has to them. They are not domesticated animals but apex predators that are highly intelligent. They are held captive and given a few dead fish when they do as they are told. They are slaves and they want and deserve their freedom. The performances look amazing, but it's inhumane. Given the choice those animals would want to be with their pods in the ocean, not in a pool with humans.
True!
Unlike with zoos, these animals are BRUTALLY captured from the wild and torn from their families. THEN put Inside of a tank which for this animal is like us being in a multi mirrored environment where we just cannot get our bearings ever. Imagine being in a place like that forever and ever and ever.
😡😡😔😔😡😡😔😔😡😡😔😔😡😡😡😡😡
I also thought the performance looked amazing & I felt guilty. Swimming with these animals must be even more incredible than watching it. However, if I cannot swim with them in the wild or watch others swimming with them in the wild it isn't going to happen, because there's far more to this than just watching the performances. The rest of their lives are a living hell & every time we pay to watch them were contributing to their pain & suffering!
I absolutely AGREE with you!! Please see my comment earlier in the chat about the sadness of Dawn's death...
I totally agree with you 👍. A chlorinated pool is not an environment for this massively huge animal. There's a reason they have the whole ocean to explore.
Well said!
Absolutely tragic for Tillikum and for Dawn, this should never of happened. These beautiful creatures should not be kept captive like this. They should be in the ocean hunting for their fish not dead fish when they’ve done a trick!! They should be enjoyed by people on a boat watching them in the friggin wild. RIP Tilikum and Dawn xx
Still breaks my heart to this day…I feel as though she never would’ve imagined her dream job would’ve ended her life. She wasn’t evil, she just wasn’t aware on the dangers that captivity entails. Rest In Peace to Dawn, & Tilikum ❤️💔

@@io5246 Agree, Until some kind of terrorist attack is made, the very essence will not reach people
Isn't the loud music a problem?
It even seems loud to me and as far as I know, whales do hear "better" than humans...
Orcas only hear loud frequency sounds, the why the trainers uses whistles. And humans almost has the power to hear better.
Sounds don’t transmit well across an air-water boundary. Orcas are meant to hear sounds under water so they probably can’t hear most of the music.
@@ironmagma Rubbish.
Poor orcas :( there not surfboards or meant for anything like that
yeah man they're not Jet Skis, or water skis either. Theyr're fishies.
Mammals, but still I agree with you
I like your comment. They're no surfboards, they're creatures who should never be taken out of the ocean to perform for humans, greed and money. At least they got it right when they let those final elephants go from Ringling Bros. Circus. Those poor, social, highly intelligent animals are not meant to entertain us. Free Willy and every animal that's used to make money. Boy oh boy does God have a place for you all. It's called hell.
No one said they are surfboards. But they do like when you ride on their back. They’re intelligent animals, they don’t do things they don’t want to do. Seaworld orcas get fed the same amount of food every day whether or not they do tricks.

unless youre in hell. In that case you are not free from hell.
Anyone else find this incredibly creepy? I know she wasn't with Tili in this show but just knowing what happened to her I can't watch these clips with out getting goose bumps. How could you blame him? He was tired of doing the dog and pony show and being starved. Maybe it's not such a bright idea to keep a KILLER whale couped up in a pool and hungry with humans in the water. Greedy Sea World knew he had killed two other people. How these places are still open is beyond me.
I never seen the shows with the killer whales and the dogs and ponys but I agree that the killer whale was definitely the star and yeah he prolly got tired of the dogs doing the doggy paddle all around the pool ad the ponys shitting in the pool, etc.
The most likely reason tillikum attacked Dawn was that he missed the signal for a trick and did it wrong. He got frustrated when there was no treat and attacked. You can watch the footage leading up to her death and you can see it happen. ( not her death, the trick going wrong)

These whales would die if they were dumped in the ocean.
@@KasatkaTilikum What about sanctuaries?
@@perezosa4318 yeah they could live in sanctuaries
@@EquineMetalheadthey would thrive in sanctuaries. Experts have been recommending this for years. SeaWorld has no interest in doing what's right.
crazy how you can be interacting with an animal like that, doing something you love & having that kind of experience ... then 3 days later you’re being dragged & mauled & killed in the same place by the same animal. Wow. I love these animals, was always jealous of how the trainers were able to just swim around with them all the time - they’re incredible. I wanna see an orca up close but I’ll have to wait & see if I see one in the wild
(I know she’s not performing with tilikum here I just meant with an orca in general)
Exhilarating for Dawn and it was her dream. It must have taken years to be comfortable with such large animals. It showed an incredible amount of trust. Rest In Peace Dawn
her dream to work w orcas that are kidnapped and enslaved and exploited and fed dead little fish?what a dream.
She let go of her comfort zone with Tilikum and that’s okay, she’s human, sometimes we forget. It’s just sad about the outcome. She tried twice to get out of the water. I’m sure she was petrified. I’ve read the whole report. She died doing something she loved as opposed to others.
It had nothing to do with letting go of her comfort zone. She turned her head for a split second and he grabbed her. Someone said something and she turned her head. She was as close to him as she always has been. She knew the boundaries that she had to keep with Tilikim. She was one of the best trainers there and had been there for over a decade
It’s a he I think
@@charleselmore7921 are you his former trainer
@@charleselmore7921 His name was Tilikum 🙂
They play that music so that humans will be moved by the horrify things these animals have to go through. I would never go to sea world !
I agree, at least you're not part of the ignorant masses that cater to these shows.
Proud to say our family has never and will never go to SeaWorld. Inhumane what SeaWorld did kidnapping baby Orcas meant to live with their pod for life. Forcing them into chlorinated water with forced “family” and forced breeding. Seriously so immoral.
Imagine these orcas having to hear this song 6xs a day 365 days a year 😳
They should have been thinking twice before she died by a orca…….they shoulda been in Icelandic rivers where Tilikum came from… it was the owners fault not Dawn or The killer Whales… All of this was the owners fault….. just as they should know…
Erica, exactly my thoughts too. Zoo and all kinds of facilities where animals are being kept for entertainment are a taboo for me.
The thing about this that makes me sad is that I don't think the trainers are all that evil. From the interviews I've watched with former trainers I think they really do love the whales but most of them don't fully understand problems with captivity and what they're actually doing until it's too late. Like the guy who use to work alongside Dawn and quit after her death because SeaWorld tried to blame Dawn for her death and now he's speaking out on what they did to the whales and still do allegedly
No they love the whales
You really think someone who is working there for years doesn't understand but you who might have read some article and watch some documentaries know much better about thjs? Come on...
@@tursiopss you can have zero knowledge and still make a correct assumption about what would have to be done to make the whole show a success.
You’re wrong!!!!
@@Pokedawn100 I'm sorry but you need to have some understanding on animal welfare and behavior before consider what would be best for them, otherwise people tend to go through anthropomorphic ideas
She looks like a mermaid.
Happy in their own world ❤.
I guess Tilikum and Dawn met on the other side of the world. Both in tears, Tilikum shattered and being sorry and Dawn hugging him saying "it wasn't your fault ".
That is a beautiful thought. I hope that's exactly what happened on the other side, along with Tilikum being reunited with his family members who have gone ahead.
or other way around, all of the humans who've been taking orcas from their families in to captivity would see them and cry and the whales would forgive... :) In any case, its a beautiful thought! Forgiveness is powerful.

@@Katherine_Allen like some of his children 🥺
This is wonderful footage of Dawn!! She really loved her job. You feel the love she had for these whales.
@sayara sami That's my thoughts too. And she would have had leverage had she spoke out about them. Dawn would have had the knowledge a lot of us don't have. It's a shame all around.
Absolutely disgusting the way they treat these magnificent mammals should be protected
Those orcas aren’t happy in those tanks. That’s just cruel for Tilikum to be there. Please just stop forcing orcas to do tricks. Let them go that’s why an orca and the baby were crying. He just wanted to be set free from that tank. Bad idea for them to be stuck in a tank.
REST IN PEACE TILIKUM !

TILIKUM SUFFERED 33 YEARS IN CAPTIVITY , DAWN SUFFERED JUST 33 MINUTES IN THE JAWS OF TILIKUM
Willian Ramos I totally agree with you.
THANKS
@@willianramos5650 but still she was just as much of a victim of corporate greed as Tilly was. Her death if it wasn't for her family taking SeaWorld to court, would have brushed under the table just like the deaths of these whales
I know its bad for them to be in captivity and it's dangerous as hell to swim with them because they rip up sealions like lunch meat but seeing them be sweet to the trainers is adorable.
Actually this doesn't even look like anything "natural" to me.
@456 546465 They need air, too. They're mammals. They pull them underwater to send a clear message that people are too stupid to figure out. They're saying, "How does it feel to be held against your will in an environment you're not meant to be in?". They're highly intelligent animals. If they wanted to rip people to pieces, they'd do it and be done with it. They just want their damn freedom.
Swimming with wild orca really isn't dangerous. They don't consider humans a food item.....in fact, in the wild there have been no attacks on people. When Orca do run into people (in the wild) they're often friendly and inquisitive. In captivity, however, their mental state is very different. They're not happy, they're not relaxed, they're stressed out and often depressed. They're entirely different when they're free.
There doo these tricks because they need food if they don't do it there not gonna get food
They have learnt to do so, or no food..
So sad..3 days later he kill her and swallow her arm even yet she's obviously under the impression they are bonded here and he cares for her. His whole entire life was so sad. The footage of him being captured as a baby screaming and his mom trying so hard to save him..he never forgot
It is so sad.
Whale in heaven: trainer will you forgive me?? 😢 I’m sorry Dawn ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜
Dawn: don’t do that again to other trainers. I forgive you. Wanna swim together for our lord so he can see that we are naturals together?
Whale: YAY!!
Btw my great nanny is seeing her in heaven… she just died in November 😭😭😭😭
The poor mother probably died of heartbreak too...
This whale isn’t Tilly. Because of his past with two other deaths trainers couldn’t do this kind of waterwork with him.
He did not swallow her arm, look up the autopsy, it describes the condition of the amputated arm, all marks on it.
I just never liked how loud the music is..
I love Dawn & Tilikum. May they Rest in Peace!
Rip dawn and tili! Hopefully they're playing together in a big ocean
_Navii not really, if that involves incarceration for the whale...
I don’t think animals go to the same Heaven as humans do
Just let us hope, please
he DID kill her!
Sahlo, I doubt very much that they would want to play with each other ever again. That would be more like Hell than Heaven.
Nice to people comment on both Dawn and Tillikum, don't have to be to have a life. Would have preferred to see sea world shut down and remaining Orca's to have peaceful life. Rip Dawn.
Amazing what SHE did with those animals... It's a shame what was done to those animals though
Don’t excuse her. She toook a paycheck generated by the KW’s and she knew what. Was going down.
so which side are you on?
Pedronimus Piace yes it was amazing yet abhorrent. Something. For everyone!
yeah and she did that bad part too.
This is the exact comments I want to see! A mix of a little pro cap but still a bit of anti!
Ms. Brancheau clearly loves what she was doing! How many of us can do that much living in a lifetime, that she managed to do in her years as a trainer? I admire her tenacity and energy, and am so sorry she died. Sympathies to her family and friends for their tragic loss.
That's living taking advantage of that poor captured animal.
She was 40 and knew they were being abused.
It's very surprising that you can swim with these powerful creatures in the wild without being attacked. At least so far. But ultimately, they are wild animals and unpredictable. I had the good fortune of seeing one up close in the San Juan Islands just off the coast of Washington State. I was on the beach and one swam away from its pod and came close to me to have a look. It was amazing.
Yeah he was really interested in you as a person and wanted to get to know this mysterious Milky Way weirdo. Your lucky he didn’t grab uyour delusional ass and dragged you out to sea.
It’s well known that captivity stresses them out like a motherfucker and is equivalent of putting a human in a closet. That can’t in a anyway or form be healthy physically or mentally to whales.
@@timtube1171 What an ugly hateful thing to say. You are not the judge of this person and what they observed. Of course, your comment fits in with all the ugly hateful ignorant comments in the yt comments section.
r I p beautiful tilikum you was too good for this world!
Thats not Tilikum in the video
The Dynasty Continues Sure looked like Tillikum, I mean this was before he attacked Dawn, that attack by the way was seaworlds fault.
Danielle Dewitt nobody swam with tilikum
AJS Entertainment Dawn did.
How about RIP to both Dawn & Til?
The whales in this video are Kayla, Taima, and Kalina if anyone was wondering!
No;pe. Couldn’t are less.
orcinidae thank you! Rest In Peace to all of them
No.
I went in the 80s. After watching several documentaries including Blackfish and Voiceless I could never support this again😫😫😫
I have to acknowledge the bravery of the trainers to even get into the water with Killer Whales and put their lives at risk but I would never visit Sea World because it’s inhumane to keep wild animals in unnatural environments just for entertainment. Sea world are mostly interested in making money and not the wellbeing of the Whales or the trainers.
They are truly beautiful and intelligent. They can relate to humans, maybe because they are family oriented with their pods. Precious but wild. After watching them interact, I love them. But they belong in the sea with their families. They do what humans want, but only for so long. Please let's give them back to the ocean.
That tiny pool is sad.
these beautiful intelligent beings hunt whales and sharks..and we think we can control them for profit. Rest in peace to her, but it is a clear message that their captivity is wrong
this was actually painful to watch. Another example of man's exploitation of nature for money. Whales should be in their natural habitat, not imprisoned in these small tanks and forced to do stupid tricks with humans.
I'm sorry! But she would not be killed while swimming with orcas in the ocean!!!!!
These wonderful animals should be free and not living in small tanks just for fun for the audience!!
YEah but no one would be able to watch the show in the ocean! Where would people sit?
Rip tili and dawn now they in heaven with each other 😍
miss kitty 2582 why heart eyes tilikum killed her ?
Aimie Neish Sea World killed her. letting her in a swimming pool with a 12,000 pound apex predator
x0xTHLover4Lifex0x She earned money with torturing this animals, no eegret foe her!
Till and Dawn ...keep it on and on.. and dont stop Till youve totally broken Dawn.
@@Djangoes when trainers go work there
They are not told anything or they don know
They wont tell even about the deads so we cant blame trainers its seaworld owner who does that
RIP Dawn.. SEA WORLD SHOULD NOT EXIST! Amen
She tied a pony tail in this also!!! I'm sure tilikum was starved and unwell on that day
What? Her pony tail had nothing to do with anything. Many female trainers wore their hair that way. Orcas didn't care about her hair style. If they wanted to grab her, they had 2 legs or two arms to grab her by. Or, they could've grabbed her by the waist. Or, the head. They didn't need her hair a certain way in order to grab her.
@@adrunkgorillawithalobotomy353 @ that's what I also told dear according to the sea world theory the whale got upset due to her pony tail !!! But she usually ties her hair that way !! So it's clear that tilikum was unwell and starved !!!
@@saranyadass16 They originally said her ponytail was fault until eye witness reports said otherwise. She was pulled in my her arm and SeaWorld refuses to take the blame and admit that their cruel training style is at fault.
@@saranyadass16 he had previously killed another trainer in Canada, and a man who wandered into the tank - he had a history of being dangerous around humans and seaworld lied and covered it up hence why Dawn is dead
@@saranyadass16 How patronising of you..*dear*. Seaworld put that theory forward. in order to absolve themselves from responsibility..unsafe practices.
discusting, poor animals,these animals belong to the sea ,don,t visits this shows ,ANIMAL ABUSE😡😡😡
It's a tragity for both. An animal is an animal and will behave like one. I am sure Dawn never thought this would happen. The problem is, we put human emotions on animals and predicte there behavior as a human would react. It's not just orcas but big cats, lizards, snakes and forth. Everyone who died at the hands of their pet forgot that it's an animal and will behave like one. I watched a video we're a family has a coyote and let's it sleep with their child. A tragity waiting to happen. None of these creatures should be kept in captivity.
Hell yeah, even a domestic house cat can turn on you. For a measly 15 lb animal, they can be vicious.
This whales are sooo sweet...but sad at the same time...
They’re not sweet. They are cold blooded predators.
@@timtube1171 shut up you're a human and were the most evil creatures on earth so stop targeting these beatiful animals becase the world would be a much better place without people like you. Give me one good reason as to why they're evil creatures!
Tanja Brkic they’re not whales.
Lpsfudge and MlpTV did I say evil? I said they’re predators . Fudge is a very bizarre handle. . Carvel used to have fudgey the whale ice cream cake.
@@timtube1171They are wales they're called Orca Wales. Are you stupid or are you stupid. Very funny taking the mick out of my channel name now go on Timothy run along to school now ua-cam.com/video/xoVPzYbGFQw/v-deo.html
Tbh seeing how they was before Dawn's death is actully shocking making the whales dance and shit like seriously it all a joke do you think they want dead fish fed to them they enjoy the hunt the chase of a kill like seeing how they used to make the whales do dance moves wtaf is wrong with people they are whales leave them alone and let them be whales flipping makes me mad this does Tilly killed 2 people before dawn and yet he was still made to be a performing monkey utter joke
Thank you so very much for posting this, Dawn has been my idol since I was a little girl! My grandparents would take me to see her and I would tell my grandmother that I wanted to be just like her (Dawn). As soon as I saw Dawn I bawled my eyes out
well at least now you know you dont really want to be like her.....DEAD
you want not only front row seats but be ACTIVELY involved in animal abuse! yikes
@@jessicaj8564 guess you missed the part when I said “little girl” it’s okay, reading is hard
@@KaylaAlicia_ “she has been my idol SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL” Meaning she’s still your “idol” apparently it’s really fcking hard!- for you
