The story of Tilikums capture and life from Sealand, Canada, to SeaWorld, U.S. has led to a public focus on the well-being of these captive killer whales, the lies that SeaWorld continues to tell, and the exposed brutalities that are put upon not just Tilikum, but the other killer whales who still remain in captivity.
