Tilikum

So who watched 'blackfish' on BBC4 at 21:00 this evening? (UK)

Thoughts?

I was personally pretty shocked, I've never agreed with these type of places, hence the link I have added gives sea world credit for conservation purposes.
I know sea world didnt get their say, however they were given the chance. Proves guilt in my eyes.

I thought it was disgusting to be honest. I was shocked to the core by the fact that tilikum has been involved in  the deaths  of four people. he should have been cut loose. its quite clear that orcas shouldn't be kept like that. and its unfair and unsafe on the trainers to keep asking them to work under those conditions. such a tragedy.

Absolutely!

The likening it to a human spending 25 years in a bath, yes it is enough to drive you psycho - added in the fact that you have been stolen from your mum and pod in the wild at the age of two, just heartbreaking for the poor creature AND of course the trainers and their families who have been affected through loss of life and lies to cover up from sea world.

Very tragic story all round.

It was very disturbing, I've always hated those parks they should stop doing the shows & concentrate on conservation & release animals back where they belong
