I hope this does not happen.

This particular whale, Tilikum, was captured and taken from the wild....he was not born in captivity. This is extremely traumatic for a creature, especially one with these kinds of social connections.

In my opinion, he should either be set free - or moved to a whale sanctuary.

Whale experts on the news today have stated they are not aware of any Orca attacks in the wild at all - only in captivity. Very sad all around.

Sea World is describing the incident differently than the eyewitnesses, which is concerning.
