Tilikum I know this is old news by now but it's been eating me alive...Not like anyone really cares besides me but....Here goes nothing. Tilikum (Tilly as his previous trainers have called him <3) is ,currently, a 12,300 pound male Orca or Killer Whale. He was brought into captivity at the age of two in 1983. He has been in capitivity for 25 years of his 27 year old life. He's killed two trainers and one man. Personally, I believe when him and two female orcas drowned the trainer in 1991, 8 years into his captivity. In 1999 there was a male corpse found in Tilly's tank, naked and bitten much like the trainer. There were a few smaller cases I believe, I dont have much info on those but yeah...I personally believe this whale should be euthanized. Its the right thing to do. Im sorry if you dont agree with me
