3:58 Is when we see Dawn. Also, I was born the same year as Malia, in fact, I'm only three days older than her. So I think that's very cool. Now Tilikum and Taima already had a very strong bond together so it's very clear that even though during the moment, Taima is being protective, it is all totally normal. This happens in the wild with all animals. Now if it was Katina in the pool, I highly doubt he would've come out at all. I still think it was a little dumb that they were trying to force Tilikum into the pool with them. But it could've been worse. Props to the trainers who recommended that they stop the music.I bet Dawn was the one who told them to because I just have a feeling. I also like how the male trainer explained everything so that was good. I'm glad this all ended well and that Tilikum was able to meet his daughter. Tilikum's met all of his kids born at Orlando, but probably not as soon as with Taima's babies because Taima trusts him and loves him. ❤
They weren't forcing them by any means, while I do think it was odd they were pressuring them it was a new experience for all trainers involved. As for the music pausing, I believe Laura was the most experienced trainer with them at that time (and even to this day as she still works there) so it was probably her who was calling all the shots. Reguardless they only played the music to try to entice Tilikum out and hype him up. I agree with everything else though, Taima was definitely very kind to Tili during the whole encounter and it would've gone very differently with any of the other females.
Wait is that Dawn, the lady that got killed? And wasn’t it Tilikum that did it? Didn’t he kill like 3 people? Makes it super eerie to watch knowing what happened.
It's so weird watching this show so many years later, and weirdly nostalgic, especially with Dawn giving such a great performance. I remember when I wanted to be a Sea World trainer so badly, but after finding out the truth about their care and Sea World as a company, I changed my mind. These orcas are so beautiful, and they deserve retirement.
blackfish was proven false among other things with manipulation and false accusations being in the top 2 issues. so.. blackfish is a joke. it's over you lost.
@@chloehumphries20 It makes no sence for you, you are lying, you know I am right. If the trainer's tell him go in and he get's punished from the female's, he will or did feel betrayed.What don't you understand?? Let the animals make their own desition's and stop sticking your nose in everything they do. It had a reason Tilly killed 3 people!!
Tilikum wasn't responsible for the death of Keltie Bryn, Daniel duke died before tilikum got to him. so no he didn't kill 3, he is an animal that was involved in 2 incidents. Haida and Knootka both had MANY incidents of pulling and biting people and trainers. so Kelties death was not in Tilly's sole responsibility. You make wild accusations but don't even know the whole story. just assume what biased sites tell you, without doing your own proper research.
@@FeistyFins NOBODY knows if Daniel had these wound's postmortem or not and the girl who died when SeaWorld owned Tilikum, he and the 2 other cows pulled her down the stair's and drowned her. How can this not be Tilikum's fault??? You are insane!! Yes it is the fault of people who are holding these animals in captivity, are using them as skateboard and wonder when they get so agressive that they kill!! You should educate yourself and stop believing 2hat SW says.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
You are proud of this?? Why is it that way with young calf's?? Because they have no wall's in their natural habitat!! You animal torturing barby doll's in a wetsuit
I don't think so; whales have no negative thinking or malice; he does not know those things. He must be waiting on his turn to clear the pool before he swims. Look, he waited patiently. Orcas are good at timing.
@@marialperez1773 "whales have no negative thinking or malice" That cannot be proven. Especially since orcas are more intelligent than most cetaceans. And then there's Tilikum's killstreak.
@@marialperez1773 “Whales have no negative feelings or malice” two things very majorly observed in Tilikum several times throughout his life. You need to go educate yourself if you think whales aren’t more sentient and socially aware than humans.
the fact everything they say to the audience is false lol,,,,so much for "educating" ppl. the whales deserve to be free in the ocean where they belong. they dont deserve this.
Should not be in captivity and then promoting forced to perform it is slavery and the breed them in captivity and kind of like forcing pregnancy by in vitro fertilization it's just cruel
Poor tili prolly doesn’t have good memories of how the female whales treated him in his younger days… he’s 2x bigger than the mom , yet he still follows her lead and she’s in charge . That’s amazing
What an incredible experience for that audience. And thank you for sharing it. This is behavior that would be difficult to document in their natural environment and extremely rare to witness it in person. Wow. And it’s bittersweet to see Brancheau working with the whales that she knew and loved and that knew and trusted her. Even Tilikum. Sweet Malia is still with us, though.
It would be difficoult in their natural habitat?? And why are all the sientific studie's from "field sientist's"?? May be in the 60 tees, but now we have GoPro's, underwater microphones,.. Show me ONE link with sientific studie's about orca's which is from captivity?? And if it is not published, it is not official. So, I am waiting genius.
In human terms, their so called "Breeding Program" would be considered sexual assault both on the males and the female because THEY WERE NOT GIVEN A CHOICE!
I hate the fact they say the whales r in charge and let them do their thing. But then again keep forcing them against what their nature does in their world. For a freaking show!!! Just open the pins and let them sort it out as they will obviously she went n the back and wasnt ready how she was swimming and left. Geez just quit trying to sounds like u know what they mean it's their world not urs
