Based on a documentary called "BlackFish", SeaWorld lies about many things. Now, imagine being on a still boat in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California. A seal is swimming around your boat. All of a sudden you see a group of killer whales (pod) swimming furiously, with one thing on its mind. Food. The instinct to hunt its prey, and the blood lust going through its mind.

They were 2 female orcas from “SeaLand Of The Pacific” in California. These ladies turned out to be very aggressive, abusing Tilikum constantly. This resulting in an aggressive, sad future for Tilikum. SeaLand was forcibly closed because a 20 year old trauber slipped and fell into the small pool where the whales performed. Once she was in, (“Tilikum, Nootka IV, and Haida II dragged and repeatedly submerged her until she drowned, despite other trainers' efforts to rescue her.”
