Dawn Brancheau, SeaWorld Trainer Killed By a Whale 

That's right.✌🏽

I have always said that i agreed. 100% . Sorry she had to die . But they also killed that poor Animal. That's why I protest never to go to any sea world. Or zoo,s Cirrus etc. It only encourages them more to get more wild animals and en cage them .. Do not go to these places please . They need to close them all down !!!

@@wildeyes580 she had to die? Or the people running sea world had to, she was just following what was told she didn’t have to die it’s like saying all people that fought for nazi German are bad cause most of them were good people that were forced to fight

@MK DA G I know that. I Was just saying I would Never Pay to go into those places. It only encourages them to buy more wild Animals etc..

yup. Unfortunate, but it happens due to human fault.

Absolute

FACTS

PAC said it first 😂

Mooi gezegd en helemaal mee eens blijft triest natuurlijk maar wilde dieren blijven wilde dieren

Hail Chucky

Circus animals? Not saying SOME people didnt get hurt from SOME of those animals but your statement isnt quite right.

⁠@@Dont_Reply.to_Mewhat exactly would you call it? They do tricks for treats, would you want to do that all your adult life? Stuck in a little box?

@@DnDM- you obviously didn't at all comprehend my statement. Try reading it again few times and get back to me.

@@Dont_Reply.to_Me 66 people including me understood what OP said, you’re the only one against it, yet I lack comprehension? You really can’t argue with stupid

@@Dont_Reply.to_Me apex predators that perform in circuses attack trainers too wtf are you talking about

True

I agree!

Thats right but thats alright we are the boss

@@andrewturk6562nah. lol.

Not really, we have just many tools to fulfill our cruelity with. Cruelty is unavoidable with intelligent species, we just evolved far enough to do a lot of damage with it

Exactly. That's why I never go to sea world, Cirrus, zoo's etc. If people would Stop paying money 💰 they would not have those cruel places !

​@Timothy O'Mara Yes so much more evil that people have no idea about.

@Timothy O'Mara yeah but not all of them, if you’re going to keep a whale in captivity, get it a larger tank.

@Timothy O'Mara they don’t do that with killer whales and dolphins?

@Timothy O'Mara They asked SeaWorld to use Morgan for research purposes, but no, they used her for money and entertainment aswell, a slave.

Not a fish, it's a mammal.

​@@elibell19 mammal??🤔

@@ashleypansadoras.l.3005 Yes, Orcas are not whales either. They are part of the dolphin family. They are mammals: hot blood, produce milk for their babies, etc.

@@elibell19 Yeah, my comment wasn’t meant to be taken literally, but you managed to do so 🙄

Waooo tks for the information friend It's incredible what people can do soooo Cold 🥶 evil

​@@vileevil47gonzalez92 Yes agreed 👍 😢. 🐳🐬🐋🦭👍

​@@vileevil47gonzalez92 You are welcome! 👍🐋🐳🐬

Sad 😢

Lies

Absolutely

💯

But what do they do in the wild, they only swim around and hunt, they probably get more mentally challenged by games and trick they perform by their trainers

If they didn’t love them they wouldn’t be working an on the call 24/7 job that pays 40k a year in California while making you swim in 50 degree water

@@trapmafia4716 I’d argue that these whales hate their captive lives. Many whales commit suicide, and it is very sad.

A whale can't be released. They can't take care of themselves and can't find their Pods (family).

@@sharonmatuszak6638 💯 They shouldn't be there in the first place. Most places are correcting the issues.

@@reneethomas8539 either way, Orcas are the Apex predators of the oceans. A pod of them can easily overpower a great white. You can’t treat a dangerous apex predator like a show animal.

@@sharonmatuszak6638 Alexandra and other orcas were released from the Whale Jail after months/years of relying on humans for food, and she’s still alive? They called Keiko’s release a waste of money since he only lived for a year and never found his family, but he at least thrived? That doesn’t speak for all orcas.

​@sharonmatuszak6638 why is that? Who caused that situation. How do you know that they can't find their families????

It's always the people's fault. The ocean's greatest predators should never be in captivity

​@@taesthetic6598the trainer isnt "the people" that captured him and put him in the position.

@@deusex9731 that's true. Nonetheless, I don't think I'd agree to work in a place where I know this abuse is sponsored. Life's about choices. However, her death is a tragedy and I'm not saying I'm glad of course!!! But I think the whole system is sick and this situation could've been prevented by not capturing these animals in the first place

Which is why their dorsal fin flops over.

​@@triciamyers4126 🤣🤣

@@triciamyers4126 Wild orcas have a 1% chance to be seen with a collapsed dorsal fin, this indicates the whale is unhealthy and unhappy. In captivity, orcas have a 99% chance to be seen with a collapsed dorsal fin, which the unhealthy and unhappy part suits well with them, speaking of how many times they attack humans and cause physical harm to themselves and others, this harms them mentally.

Some orcas are migrant types they stay in one place for 5 months then move to the next they are forced to swim forever they have to get food and the. Rest

Humans do that to all animals unfortunately.

@Ali Nicole yes and it needs to stop. And the more people Pay to go to see any show . Will make them get more Animals etc. It's Disgusting. And really makes me sick Not to mention 🤬😤

​@@wildeyes580some of those animals be in a dangerous place either we take them in iookr leave them to die "by nature"

​@@IAmJeff7 seriously?

Isn’t this what happened during slavery?

No animal should be in captivity at all it’s sad what happened but can’t say I didn’t see something like this happening eventually

@@lilsmallz1561 I agree but these places have turned into rescue sanctuaries to rehabilitate animals in need. Some cannot be released in the wild but others can.

@@annabenedetti9699 they shouldn’t of kidnapped them to began with had Tilly been with his family dawn and the other two would still be with there’s

​@@annabenedetti9699das wird uns erzählt. Es ist gelogen 😢😢😢

I think she abused tilikum (I know I spelled his name wrong) but I’m not sure

😂i

​@@avery8047tilikum was abused by female orcas in captivity for most of his upbringing

​@@avery8047Yeah, don't think so.

I agree with you, I hope with such horrific deaths that those who run these places don't capture animals. And I wish all the best to the woman's parents and to her, may she rest in peace.

I think there IS an aquarium like that, in the Atlantic Ocean, around Daytona. I can't remember the name.

it looks small because you're 100 feet up...?? make it make sense.

most of them are stolen from the family pods.

​@@kaleb7636 orcas in the wild would swim on average around 40+ miles a day.... So even at 100ft up, yes, these tanks are way too small.

That's because your 400 feet above it?? Of course it'll look small.

Totally. Even so, the company allowed trainers to work with orcas for decades with their hair as a pony tail. She worked with Tili with her hair up like that for 16 years. SeaWorld tries very hard to paint it is all the trainers fault.

Nah get rid of the orca shows

real. Everything they do hurts the animals

Yes

They're actually protected now, at least in 90 percent of the world. Sea World can no longer breed any whales left in captivity. They can't be hunted, or purchased. Three countries I believe, still can hunt them. I don't know if they do. It's China, Russia, and one more. But at least now, 99 percent of them are safe, and can breed in the wild, and not be taken away. 🙏 🌊 🐳

they can’t free them.. and is not for money is because for being there for a lot time they can’t hunt and orcas can’t communicate with other orcas unless they are from the same pod (family) so how are they gonna find their family? But yes is actually bad they are in a tiny tank.

@@Vallovesorcas Alexandra the orca was a orca who lived in the Whale Jail, alongside lots of belugas and other orcas. They were freed and Alexandra is seen with a tracker on her fin years later, thriving with her pod. What happened to Keiko doesn’t speak for all orcas.

@@Vallovesorcas *If you love something… set it free.*

@@Spyro9100 well yeah I think you haven’t heard some orcas have been born there and also what happends if they don’t find their pod? yk orcas can’t speak to other orcas if there aren’t from their pod and it also leads why orcas attack each other at seaworld

So you're going to blame this orca for being aggressive and attacking a trainer when he was abused frequently by the trainers and other orcas and constantly forced to perform shows every day for people? Tilikum lived a terrible life and spent most of his time in isolation which contributed to his aggressive behavior.

​@@Infinite-void908 Oh so then fcking pull her hand down to the water and rip her body apart? She fed him, played with him, took care of him for years. That's how that "Genius" mammal pays her back? Try to make sense, fcking animal rights activist.

​@@yoseph2420I am making sense, your brain is just too small or too stupid to comprehend it.

Thank you! While I mourn the life of that poor whale, I also mourn the death of that poor girl. She was caught up at the wrong place at the wrong time. If anyone should be blamed on, it should be the ones in charge of SeaWorld. Tilikum had already attacked people before and yet they didn’t learn. Dawn had to die just for people’s entertainment and Tilikum had to suffer until his last days. SeaWorld needs to close down forever.

@@Infinite-void908 I don't care how the Orca's life was like, I care about the horrible way of death the trainer had to suffer, whether it was the "intelligent" orca's fault or the head of SeaWorld. To me a thousand orcas lives equal one human life.

It’s tilikum

​@@gabrielquinones3343she's Japanese, they pronounce L as R.

あいしてる！

@@gabrielquinones3343 google translate misspelled it because the Japanese language is different, the commenter spelled it correctly

That's their cycle of abuse

Communism.

Its the American way

@@bajorekjon it's the African way

@@dbabini1 England and Anerica

Blackfish

The trainers had no idea it was so dangerous. Watch Blackfish.

Exactly

​@@OG-GenX065 "trainer"? That shouldn't exist... Whales don't need training bc they aren't pets. They are wild animals and belong to the ocean not a pool

@@thesea7965 right or wrong,it's what they are called.

If he didn’t want her to die he wouldn’t have dragged her down when she tried to escape. Orcas are smart creatures. He knew what he was doing (I’m not saying I agree with putting them in a tiny enclosure, but check ur facts)

​@@vokadoo999exactly I think he was done with the whole thing. Performing for dead fish, swimming in circles the whole day. Being controlled.

What about he shouldn't have been captivity in the first place... his natural instinct is to kill. Dawn was killed based on his instinct to do so. I'm sure he's not a happy whale either. He should be out with his pod of whales swimming for kms every day.

right like this reel is trash. did the bare minimum of research.

Exactly

Tilikum killed: Keltie Byrne, a trainer at sealand of the Pacific. Daniel Dukes, a homeless man who jumped into his tank for unknown reasons. Dawn Brancheau, a veteran trainer at SeaWorld Orlando. The 4th death was caused by another orca named Keto who killed Alexis Martinez, a trainer at Loro Parque in the Canary Islands.

I love Animals too but wishing death to humans doesnt make you better lol

Agree💯. I watched the documentary too

It's hard to say whether he "meant it" or not. He was abducted from his family pod at a young age, and lived a life of confinement and abuse. He could've been trying to play, lashing out, or simply treating the woman as a toy (not registering the "living thing > empathy > don't do x" mentality). Psychology is a very complex subject, and that of animals that we can't communicate with efficiently is even more so. We DO know that animals who are adapted to learn from parents and others in their social groups will be horribly stunted mentally when deprived of that social environment. Unfortunately, we have the horrible case of Genie (the captive girl) as an example of what happens when an intelligent and social creature misses out on formative years of education. Orcas, much like humans, do indeed pass knowledge down through the generations, and they train younger members of their pods with the techniques they've learned over time. This provides evidence of complex education that goes way beyond most animals. It's not a stretch to think that social and behavioral teachings are just as complex as those of survival strategies. Tilikum was denied all of that after capture. They took a predatory animal with the intelligence to experience trauma and know that it was suffering, stunted its mental development, tortured it physically and mentally, kept it confined in a minute fraction of the space it's supposed to have, and expected it to conduct itself "appropriately." Why did Tilikum drag Dawn? Why did Genie destroy things? Questions that pose many logical theories, but an iceberg of complexities underneath the surface.

You cannot keep anyone in captivity and force them to perform for human amusement

She wasn't eaten by the orca since the other trainers were able to recover her entire body, but her body was badly mutilated.

Yes, totally agree with you!👍👍👍

What's sad is taking a baby orca from it's mother, and his whole family. Stick it in a f..ng swimming pool, with chemicals, no sun protection, feed it fish. They live off of much larger prey than fish. That's a snack. They attack each other, because of starvation, aggravation, If they don't perform right. You starve them for 18 hrs is a 30x20 ft pool with a gate. And that whale got his revenge on 3 out of 4 trainer's who participated in that. So you got what you deserved. No one spoke up! It would've never happened if they weren't put in captivity. Thank God SeaWorld has been exposed, can't breed any whales, or purchase another whale. Approx 15 or more of them are left in captivity. And they could be slowly released to their pods. They've returned two already, and there tracked and doing fine as of 2022' 🙏 🐳

​@@anthonyvespia6662 yep

😂😂 in piss

She got what she deserved. 😂 rest in piss

I don't have any sadness for humans that treat animals like this .I have more sadness for the animal.

No way? Shamu? I just saw a video of Shamu attacking a trainer who dove in and was swimming to the stage. You'd think after one attack they'd remove the whale

@@sophieminter0 there has been more than one Shamu, Tilikum was one.

He meant to kill her. He was upset and wanted out.

Was not her ponytail

Orcas don’t eat humans-

​@@VallovesorcasWhen you stress them out for months years they might. Leave them alone!

@@i80748 dude im not a trainer. Also they can just kill humans is not like they eat them

@@Vallovesorcas who said you were a trainer? If a human is afraid to be killed by them, I suggest leaving them alone. They are literally minding their business in the ocean. It's humans that create the problem and their own death.

@@i80748 your comment then doesn’t make sense. Btw they stopped doing this and also they can’t set them free that easily.

Thanks 👍 🐳🐋🐬

Orcas drown their prey every day. They also teach their offspring how to do same. That's about the smartest animal on eartth. It knew!

🤓👍👍👍
