Tilikum, the orca, who was the main protagonist of the documentary "Blackfish" has died on Friday, January 6, 2017, due to a lung infection. He was the symbol of animal captivity.

I'm really sad about his passing, but at the same time relieved that he is no longer suffering from his illness and for being a prisoner in that "seajail" for 25 years.

I hope Tili's legacy will live forever and I hope his children and other animals that live in other aquariums, will be released into a sea pen (whales and dolphins) and wildlife refuge to be cared for the rest of their lives.

Rest in peace, Tili. You are free at last.
