In this Jurassic Park part 2 episode, Christin tells Chris about the events that led up to SeaWorld saying they will no longer use Orca whales in their shows. Tilikum was a 4,000 killer whale that killed three people before SeaWorld finally had to address the fact that they should not be in captivity. Life, uh, finds a way.
