Michael Libert if only there were more people like you who expressed their feelings this way, I respect your opinion good sir.

It proves they have average mammal intelligence and can be trained. The _scientific case_ for exceptional intelligence in cetaceans is surprisingly weak. It’s a popular belief in our culture that everyone states and goes unquestioned, even by some scientists who know better.

@@darkprose The scientific evidence is not weak. Language has been observed in whales, they have high brain function and development than the vas majority of mammals, have complex social structures, and react to their environment in ways no other animal does. So yes, orcas are smart and there is an abidance of scientific evidence to prove it. The fact that they are captive had provided for more scientific study than other animals and the fact that stye can be trained so well is even more proof that they are smarter than most other animals. Training requires receiving, understanding, and responding do commands. That's all scientific evidence too.

I agree

They are more intelligent than the trainers.

On the slide outs? I’m not sure what you are saying has changed. They still work with the orcas on the slide outs.

Joseph Charles eventually they stopped interacting with tilikum on slide outs and on stage - i didn’t mean all whales, just him

Some times he is friendly sometimes he is not friendly

The Trainers cant be on The Slide out with Tilikum or he'll Drag u off

@Patience Detlor I think the same

You share an opinion with every expert and anyone who respects animals. Be proud.

@Christian Banuelos wow so u want the whales to die fuck u bitch 🙄

@@okaybye75 She doesnt she just has a different opinion in her opinion these animals arnt suffering so no she doesnt support animals suffering bc she doesnt think they do

That's not an unpopular opinion. They weren't taken. They were born and raised at seaworld. They can't go back into the wild because they don't have the skills to survive. I'm not saying it's right but you can't deny that it's true

Hmm I dont see Tilikum can you tell me where he is in the Video?

@@ulisesmarvels 20:13-20:25

and being fed everyday.

@@NyYannaPlays I take it you like rotten fish.

@@kaleilw it aint rotten, its fresh.

@@NyYannaPlays Just as I thought, you can't tell the difference. Fuckin' emtpy-head.

@@NyYannaPlays #ClownShowForEmptyHeads

I don't admire them at all

Absolutely!!!

Poor woman? Poor whale

hopefully she realized just how wrong the entire fuckin situation she was in was and hopefully she felt SHAME GULT AND STUPID for having been part of ANY OF IT!! That's what I HOPE she was thinking!!

@@louielouie7601 She didn't feel any guilt or shame. She worked with and loved those orcas, even if they aren't in their natural habitat they are still taken care of well and are just fine currently

Yeah but where does the money go? To make research for other creatures and to fund the rescues seaworld does.

Kimberly D Kulcsar my heart aches to see this poor babies in captivity💔💔💔💔💔💔

Kimberly D Kulcsar 😓😓💔💔💔

It wouldn't be lol, it was old. The human, sure.

@@TheSpiritOfTheTimes Orcas live close to 100 yrs old in the wild. Tili was middle age for an Orca

happyari13 Are you kidding lol 😂 Orcas don’t have facial features like humans, it’s common knowledge. Tilly is fine, he was happy

@@kshamenkwaves6656 I'm not kidding, and obviously I don't mean that in terms of facial expressions--I'm talking about energy and enthusiasm. and Tilly was not happy wtf he killed 2 people and was involved in a group killing of 1 :( and the dorsal fin was collapsed as fuck, & only 1% of wild orcas have that & it is caused by malnourishment and depression. he's a big boy and that's definitely a big factor to him being so depressed to be living in a swimming pool

@@happyari13 The dorsal flopping isn't because they are depressed. it's from them being out of water and not constantly swimming so it doesn't have enough support to stay up

how do you know they are sad or deppressed?

@@NyYannaPlays because every scientist and animal psychologist can tell you. Plus how would you feel locked up in your room for the rest of your life, being used to entertain another species, with loud sound effects 24/7. They have thousands of miles in the wild/ocean, but only a tiny pool in sea world. Sea world is animal abuse and should be illegal. Everything who thinks otherwise doesn't believe scientists and is simply blind. It is proven that orcas are incredibly social animals that even have their own language and dialects. If a mother orca loses her baby, she will feel sorrow for weeks, transporting the dead body with her. In the ocean they find their own social groups, in sea world they are forced to live within a group that they probably can't even communicate with, due to the different dialects they have in their sound system. Whales in sea world where showing signs of depression by smashing their heads against the walls, they destroy their teeth by biting into the concrete walls. Swimming in circles isn't natural behavior either. Orcas are one of the most intelligent mammals in the world. Orcas "see" through their ears, meaning that with the loud music and human sounds, it is literal torture for them. If you really "love" those animals, you would see the problem here. Otherwise if you visit sea world you either don't care about animals or you just don't know about those facts.

@@gojo9442on that first half that sounds fun, they only swim all thoes miles for food, seaworld is not abuse, i bet u are a science denyer urself, ik they have their own language, but people cant understand them.

@@NyYannaPlays How am I denying science when I am giving you information from scientists? There are scientists who are doing research on orca language and it is possible to understand patterns. Also what is your argument that we don't understand their language? My point was that they have different dialects and can't communicate among each other. It's sad because you seem to be very manipulated by the entertainment industry, or you are very young. It's sad because as long as people exist who don't look at the hard scientific facts, we will continue to exploit and torture animals. You don't seem to be able to give me reasonable arguments why wild animals shouldn't stay in the wild but be encaptured for fun instead.

It probs had to do with his past. Rest assure you, I'm no orca trainer. I still on to that dream of mine and Tilly originally came from Sealand of the Pacific which was another marine park in Canada and he was branded as a very aggressive male bull orca. Not to mention treated so poorly there. But I don't see Tilikum as this aggressive whale with an insatiable hunger for human flesh and blood. There some folks who see him as a gentle giant. I once saw him when I was 8 in Orlando and he instantly became like my first whale friend.

Nobody ever went in the water with him because of his size and he was never trained for people in the water with him

after the attack he was also deemed too dangerous, so nobody could touch him either.

Because he chewed ppl up. By the way I saw some documentary that said he was starting to get agitated when she was running out of fish. You see how important the fish is to them. It may not be true but it’s a plausible possibility. And of course he got aggravated by anything in the water including people

He was never trained in waterworks

THE TRAINERS LOVE THE ORCAS STFU

No one could swim with tilikum?

@@lbabytutorials4852 no, he wasn’t trained for waterworks.

Imo, Taima looks nothing like Takara.

@@lbabytutorials4852 he had regular aggressive behaviourial tendencies and was possessive, and aside from Dawn, he'd already killed two people.

+Angela L yeah empty the tanks so they can go back to the wild and die a painful death. Moron....

btw, I shared this video to my FB FROM FB STALK MUCH??????????? working for the SW morons? Keep supporting them, they are the titanic!

wow you are very stupid..Keiko did so well that he's dead!! He died because he was released and he died a very slow and unnecessary death. He was desperate for human interaction and should have never been released. He was put out in the ocean to die by activists with agendas like you!

you don't care about animals at all, you just care about imposing your will on the rest of us. Piss off!

Im an animal activist so why dont you piss off you sad excuse of a human. How would you like to be forced into a prison and eat dead cold fish for lame ass tricks?????? Now pizz off STALKER

Lol yeah this isn't even the right SeaWorld Dawn Never worked at this SW and Tili never Lived at this SW XD

@@ulisesmarvels no actually this is the right seaworld. They both were in Orlando

You want them to die?

@@bananaiscool13 It is a crime to capture and imprison these animals. All for the fucking money 😡

Demons_or_angles Chang actually it is because of gravity

Tia Jones are you sure???

Gacha_moon Sapphire yes! It is because of gravity. also ocean current holding the fin up with no current their fin has nothing to hold up, so it flops. And yet some wild orcas have dorsal collapse, say for example Ben, a male orca in New Zealand, he bleached himself and began to get a collapsed dorsal. So no it’s not because they are sick. Do your research please before commenting

He was not a waterwork whale. He had killed 2 people before Dawn.

@Christian Banuelos Maybe it's just best he Rest in peace.

Shamu Stadium some of them are captured in the wilds and some of them were born there. I agree that the whales who were born there should stay there because they are not capable of living in the wild. But i think that the other whales who were born in the wild should be released. Because imagine being in that small tank when you were so used to be in the ocean! I mean its so wrong they are such beautiful animals who should be in the wild.... not in a tank to entertain humans. I agree on what you’re saying but i think that this should stop! RIP TILLY❤️

@@Abcdefgggg09 the ones that are captured can go to sea sanctuaries (rescue) which are much better than SW.

Shut up 😂😂

Finally someone I agree with

Facts! I was livid when they stopped the show believe. They literally did the impossible with this show and changed so many lives. Stopping the breeding program when orcas are almost endangered species, especially out in the wild they have a less than 50% chance of survival. Because we had workers at Seaworld with world-class care and veterinary staff we know much more about them and how to preserve them in the wild. The wild is a very brutal place, as far as the Orcas born in captivity I’m sure they much rather be with their trainers Who they have known for decades and trust. You were right they would die in the wild, they get hand fed food all day long, they don’t know how to hunt anymore. Caicos died from that movie free Willy they set him free and he couldn’t make it out there. He ended up following boats instead of catching fish, he swam past his family just to find humans. I’m sure he felt confused and abandoned. At the end of the day we don’t know what these wells want because clearly we can’t speak to them but I know Seaworld loves the Orcas and I’m very sad they stopped the breeding program

its not just sea world tho, many sea life parks also hold whales/orcas & dolphins.
