Ask sea world to release orca named Tilikum after captivity of 29 years

Created by S.A. on February 15, 2014

Tilikum was captured 29 years ago and was segregated from his family. He has suffered at the hands of trainers who used food deprivation as a technique of training, bullying and physical attacks from other orcas, isolation by owners of sea world. These events have aggravated this majestic creature who otherwise is friendly and social by nature. These events have made him prone to violence, being the cause of death of three people. Yet, he is still kept in captivity for breeding purposes. Please release him back into the ocean for the remainder of his life. Or at least make living conditions for whales at sea world better. Majority (2/3) of their lives are spent in a small, dark pool. Asking to forbid capture is far fetched, so just release 1 for now. Please bring justice to Tilikum.
