he was very well behaved and he was always eager to please. >> when he was first introduced, everything just went fine and dandy. but the previous head trainer used techniques that involved punishment. he would team a trained orca up with tilikum who was untrained, he would send them both off to do the same behavior. if tilikum didn't do it, both animals were punished. deprived of food to keep them hungry. this caused a lot of frustration with the larger animal, the established animal. and would in turn get frustrated with tilikum and would rake him with his teeth. >> there would be times during certain seasons that tilikum would be covered head to toe with rakes. rakes are teeth on teeth and raking the skin and from head to toe. you could see blood and you could see scratches and he would just be raked up. >> both females would gang up on him. tilikum was the one we trusted. we never were concerned about tilikum.
