What killer whale killed sea world trainer tilikum or shamu?
Shamu is just the stage name. The original Shamu died I think in the 80's it was. Tilikum is the one who killed the trainer. But his stage name is Shamu. No - Shamu (She - Name) was captured to be a companion for Namu. She didn't get along with him and was purchased by Seaworld San Diego for $75,000. The park had just opened a year before so Shamu was immediately trained to participate in the show. In August 1971, she died from Septicemia and Pyometra at the very young age of 9. She was so popular at SeaWorld, her name carries on as the trade mark name for orcas at Sea World. In other words, they have been lying for years as to the real names of the orcas there. Even the males are called "Shamu". Now that people are starting to realize they are indeed individuals, they can't run from the lie they've told to public for decades. Tilikum, meanwhile, after the attack and unfortunate death of Dawn Brancheau, has been kept in utter isolation ever since February 24th, 2010. He was also captured from the wild. To read more about him, go to Seeing is Believing, Tilikum's lonely life after Dawn, on The Orca Project. Shamu killed the trainer and got let into the ocean for killing loads of other trainers too
