This week we’re looking into the tragic story of Tilikum. Tilikum was an Orca who was captured in Iceland in 1983. He was taken from his family at only 2yrs old. From there, he was shifted around to various locations throughout North America until ultimately landing at Sea World in Orlando.
As you could imagine, Tilikum didn’t take well to his new surroundings. He was seemingly bullied by the other orcas and caged in a 20x30ft cage during non-show times. This lead to the belief that Tilikum developed psychosis. As he began to deteriorate mentally, his behavior became increasingly more unpredictable.….as to be expected.
As of 2023, there have only been four deaths resulting from captive orcas. TIlikum is responsible for three of them. This includes one poor soul, who broke into the park after hours and thought it would be a good idea to take a swim with him after hours.
Join us as we tell Tilikum’s story.
