Tilikum was subsequently implicated in two additional fatalities, one of which was trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. This incident sparked significant public outrage and inspired the documentary Blackfish. As a result of the backlash, SeaWorld was compelled to terminate its orca performances and breeding initiatives.
Tilikum passed away in 2017; however, his narrative continues to represent the risks and moral considerations associated with the confinement of wild animals.
