"[he] may have been acting out due to stress and raging hormones."

Hmmm, I wonder if that excuse will go over with my wife...

Males and females may also challenge each other, with females sometimes changing their diving behavior during the process.

Sounds like Rachael Maddow.

Well then she should have had relations more with the whale, silly. At least that is what I tell my wife when she isolates me.

What?

Never mind.

People carry on about how aggressive this whale is. Like any animal (even our “domesticated” critters such as dogs and cats), a whale is basically still a wild animal...I don’t care how much training or domestication he or she has had. Animals can and will revert back to their instincts and behaviors if certain opportunities present themselves.

Oh for God’s sake...more “How come he done it” crap and nonsense. Psychoanalysis of a friggin’ fish. He’s a killer whale people, not Lassie!!! Who was it who said the MSM has done more looking into this damned animal in 5 days than it did in Obama over 2 years?? Well he was right. Maybe some shyster can figure out a way to file a class action suit against the whale. Failure to live up to his contract or something.

On youtube you can see the video of a killer whale killing a great white shark... That’s the cutesy whootsy killer whale for you.

Argh. I just realized I was making light of a tragic situation. Sometimes it is easy to get carried away and forget this isn’t an abstraction, it was a flesh and blood person who died a horrible death.

Sigh. I fall into this every so often...just not thinking.

In retrospect, the pony tail was the equivalent of an auto mechanic wearing a loose neck tie and bending over a running engine. OSHA will have the final say on this one.

Why don’t they just leave the orcas in the ocean. I feel sorry for them, basically in jail.
