It is TRULY UTTERLY sickening to keep these animals in captivity like that.

They don’t belong at “sea world”.

>> Killer Whale Trainer Death Tied to Mating, Isolation

Heard about the Jolly Green Giant ...
The cat stands tall and green
Well, he ain’t no prize, and there’s no women his size
And that’s why the cat’s so mean

I agree. I did some research on the orcas, and, normally, they are not human killers unless in captivity. God created huge oceans, and, IMO, these whales belong in the open waters - not in captivity. They basically are not isolationists.

As much as we all love the entertainment aspect of these shows, I wish these whales would be freed into their natural habitat. IN the wild, they live up to 50 years old, and only 30 in captivity.

Thanks for the info. I love animals, and I much prefer them to be left alone in their native habitat, even if that means I (or others) don’t get to “enjoy” them. When I used to take my kids to zoos, I didn’t like seeing animals in jails.

I agree - God created plenty of living space for animals. Humans are supposed to be caretakers, and that means caring about.

That's an oldie (I am old enough to remember)

What's next ? The Hollywood Argyles and Alley Oop? ;-)

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

Sounds like Harry Reid’s typical unemployed male.
