Tilikum v. Sea World
''Tilikum v. Sea World'' (''Tilikum et al. v. Sea World Parks & Entertainment Inc.'', 842 F. Supp. 2d 1259 (S.D. Cal. 2012)) was a legal case heard in the US Federal Court in 2012 concerning the constitutional standing of an orca. It was brought by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on behalf of Tilikum, an orca kept in the SeaWorld Orlando park, against the SeaWorld corporation.
The plaintiff asked the court to rule that Tilikum was a "person" under the terms of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and thus that the orca's confinement amounted to involuntary servitude or slavery. The court held that Tilikum was not considered a "person" as defined in the US legal system, and so was not afforded constitutional protections.〔
== Background ==
Tilikum is a bull killer whale (''Orcinus orca'') which was bought by the SeaWorld marine park in Orlando, Florida in 1992 and exhibited there since then.〔 He is the largest orca in captivity. The other whales named as plaintiffs in the suit are Katina, who is also kept in Orlando, and Corky, Kasatka, and Ulises who are kept in SeaWorld San Diego.〔
