Recall those two boys who were teasing the tiger in that zoo some years ago? Or other incidents where people have fallen into pits containing dangerous animals such as bears? While not all incidents end up tragically, those involved put their lives in danger. The same is true here.
Zoos are one thing, where those in charge of the animals don’t consort with them (usually) in public. Here, it’s the norm. So, I’m frankly surprised this doesn’t happen more often.
Why should a whale be killed because it’s following its instincts? That’s absurd. I agree, it’s a mistake to place such predators in a position where their instincts can come into play. Trained or not, these show people put their lives at risk daily. It’s nonsense.
This is what can happen when you voluntarily give up your spot at the top of the food chain.
“...Why should a whale be killed because it’s following its instincts?...”
Because it can provide food and oil and bone.
