Viral post asks why wild orcas never kill humans; replies note captive killings

Commenters note captive orcas have in fact killed people

4 Sep 19 3:35 PM · 4d ago · 43 comments · 1 source · development 4 of 4

Several replies push back on the 'never' framing, citing killings by captive orcas — most prominently Tilikum's fatal attack on SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010 — while agreeing no wild orca has been recorded killing a human.

“On February 24, 2010, a captive orca named Tilikum fatally attacked and drowned his experienced trainer, Dawn Brancheau, at SeaWorld Orlando”
