We had several people telepath with Tilicum after Dawn’s tragic death. Tilicum was beside himself that he killed her and expressed his dislike of being in capitivity.
It appears the makers of the controversial movie about Dawn’s death, Blackfish insulted and injured Dawn’s parents after her death, by the making of their movie and their blurred boundary lines & interpretation of the event. Dawn’s parents asked for a private viewing of Blackfish and were denied their request. The people behind Blackfish need to get into their hearts like their Orca counterparts and quit the self centered and self indulgant personal agendas for themselves.
The way the news media (who is owned – bought and paid for by the elite secret societies of our world who run our world) Some call them the illuminati and others call them assholes also played a dispicable role in portraying this horrible mishap.

Dawn Brancheau’s Family Statement About Blackfish
There has recently been an abundance of attention focused on the film “Blackfish.” As the family of Dawn Brancheau, we are continually asked how we feel about the movie. We would like to take this opportunity to write briefly about the film so we can move on and continue our efforts to make the world a better place in honor of Dawn.
First and foremost, we are not affiliated with this movie in any way. We did not assist with its creation and were unaware of its content until the film was shown at the Sundance Film Festival. The Dawn Brancheau Foundation as well as our family members have never and will never accept any compensation from its production.
The film has brought a great deal of attention to the welfare of animals, and for that we are grateful. However, “Blackfish” is not Dawn’s story. Dawn Brancheau believed in the ethical treatment of animals. Dawn followed her dreams and became a marine animal trainer. She loved the whales and was proud of her work as a trainer. Dawn thrived on introducing the whales to the audience and educating them about the animals in her care. Dawn would not have remained a trainer at SeaWorld for 15 years if she felt that the whales were not well cared for. Trainer safety was important to Dawn, and it remains important to us as well. Our family always supported Dawn and we continue to support Dawn’s friends and co-workers who currently care for the animals she so loved.
There are people in the San Juans making a ton of money off the orcas and tourist buiness of whale watching. Those who are buying big waterfront homes, boats and accessories. What kind of money is going into the orcas to change their toxic waters???
Orca Network and Ken Balcomb’s Whale Research need the light shined brightly on their actions and their attitudes towards the folks in the San Juans who all love whales. Not nice people, they cause alot of dissention amongst the orca lovers. And the question everyone needs to be asking both these ‘non profits’??????? . . . How much money have you put back into their environments. And why are you not holding NOAA to higher standards for our orcas’ waterways and food supply?
Facts are being misrepresented or completely skewed and fear is being spread on a large scale as they did in their movie Blackfish. Which Howard of Orca Network told me he was not paid anything for nor was his brother Ken Balcomb. Although he and Susan Barta (his wife) moved into a new waterfront home that year on the West Side of Whidbey island. Howard denied money was made on the movie when I noted the new home sale to him via email.
Hmmmmmmmmm . . . .
PS the Orcas would have never picked the name black fish. They like to be called orcas. Not even killer whales. Orcas IS WHAT THEY LIKE TO BE CALLED! The Gray whales were very admanat on our DVD about what folks name them, they did not want to be referred to as ‘devil fish’ anymore.
Learn to speak their language, then you can represent their needs so much better.
A conversation we had with Tillicum in 2010 right after the death of Dawn, go to http://www.whalecommunicators.com/tillicum.html
Conversation with Tillicum for Whale Communicators by Mary – 2/27/09
Tillicum, what happened the other day when you killed a trainer?
I am so ashamed of myself. I don’t know what happened.
It was like something came over me, and I wasn’t thinking clearly.
Were you angry?
Not consciously, but something rose up deep inside of me that
drove me to grab her. She was a kind person and I had no reason
to hate her. I am so sorry I killed her.
We don’t understand how this could happen. Can you explain more?
Something snapped inside my head and a rage exploded. I wasn’t thinking, just acting with a primal force. I couldn’t stop myself. It all happened so quickly and once I grabbed her and took her down everything that happened was instinctual, automatic. I didn’t really realize what I had done until later. I know what I did was wrong.
What should happen to you?
I don’t know.
What do you want for yourself?
I don’t want to be in this tank. This is no life for me.
Do you want to go back to the ocean or into spirit?
I long for freedom, if only for a while. If I could be released into the wild, I would love that, even if I did not survive for long. Being dead would be better than existing in this tank.
Will you hurt another human?
I don’t know. I did not consciously hurt this wonderful woman. I was out of my mind. That could happen again I suppose, because I don’t now how or why it happened this time. I am so sorry. Please tell everyone.
