Orcas, often known as killer whales, are magnificent aquatic marine mammals. Orcas have no place in captivity; they are used for unethical reasons such as human entertainment and to make money. Although killer whales have the word "whale" in their name, they are actually the largest breed of dolphin.

There are no records of orcas killing humans in the wild, but many incidents have occurred while orcas were held in captivity. The large and famous orca Tilikum, known to most people as Shamoo, has killed three people since his capture thirty years ago, at the age of just two.

The incident may not have started as an assault, but that's how it ended. (Oteyza) Tili's first kill took place at Sea Land Pacific in Canada, where he was brought after his capture. He was detained in very harsh conditions. The only area he had to swim in was a small pool he shared with two female orcas; during the night, mainly five among the papers ......complaints from the workers. Internet. November 17, 2013.
