Don’t sleep with a whale, they might just turn on you.

The Grizzly-Singer from Malibu knew ‘his’ bears by name; they called him ‘snack-biscuit.’

So you get people who are in total fear of guns and think it will shoot them if they even look at a picture of one drawn by an 8 year old boy. Then you get people who think that working with a wild animal that is capable of killing yoiu in 3 seconds is the safest thing in the world. Funny how the mind works.

The victim, Dawn, was violently shaken and thrashed about just as I’ve seen videos of killer whates doing with a seal they grabbed (their favorite prey).

How about some healthy respect then, for a bus-sized carnivorous animal.

WILD KILLER whales are NOT part of the HUMAN family.
People have gotten to be totally idiotic.

Heck why not just curl up with an ornery boa constrictor and call that animal “family” too?

“They’re part of our family. We care very deeply about these animals,” he said. “We really love and enjoy what we do as trainers.”
Wonder if he has ever asked himself how the whales feel about what they do?
Lets see...wonderfully vibrant ocean, through which I glide as the king of the sea...or dull, tiny, acoustically dead concrete pond in which I’m forced to perform and fed dead fish.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the animals don’t “love and enjoy” their captivity any more than a wrongly convicted man enjoys his.

As intelligent as they may be it is foolish to expect them to reciprocate at a human level. Their intelligence is likely to make them more unpredictable. I always know what to expect from a big alligator or a cottonmouth, but I don't believe that an animal that isn't basically preprogrammed as they are can be expected to stay on track.
This love the animals and they will love you business is foolish. There will be some reciprocation but it will vary and it won't be reliable.
I get along with critters better than most people do, but I do it by blending in, I don't mess around with their natural behavior, beyond hand feeding a few willing birds.
A Boat tailed Grackle isn't going to bite my hand off if it goes bonkers. A Raccoon might. An Orca having a bad day is a weapon of mass destruction.
