They call them “killer whales”
And still you’re surprised
My guess is that the whale was playing and pushing her around and didn’t realize she didn’t have a blowhole. Hard to imagine it was done on purpose. (Or on porpoise)

Certainly you have to feel badly for the trainer and her family, but these are NOT Labrador Retrievers!!!
comment from Susan Berta from Orca Network; We just heard that Tillikum, an Icelandic orca, is the whale involved in the trainer’s death at Orlando SeaWorld today. An intruder to Orlando SW was found dead in Tillikum’s tank in 1999, and Tillikum was also responsible for the death of a Trainer at SeaLand Canada in 1991.
One of the news programs reported that the whales were not obeying commands and were being difficult. Perhaps they were thinking of joining a union.
Whales don’t belong in a contained area, entertaining customers of Whale World or whatever it’s called. They belong in the ocean.
