It shouldn’t be necessary to have to tell the trainers that this isn’t a cocker spaniel, and its called “Killer” whale for a reason.

The arrogance of man knows no bounds sometimes. Orcas are the top of the ocean food chain and we try to keep them in captivity and have them perform stupid tricks for the masses.

agreed... just plain dumb..I've seen that show in San Diego.. what a total time waste... seriously stupid... I'd much rather watch whales in their environment, or on National Geographic channel.. .jumping through hoops of fire , is not exactly a natural behavior.
To: JoeProBono
What part of the words "Killer Whale" do they not comprehend?
To: misterrob
So.... looks like their might be some more job openings in the Killer Whale Trainers area.

Yep, we should not be surprised when wild animals act like wild animals.

Tilikum could have been contributed to the worldwide whaling quota. As it is, Tilikum now has made a connection between killing a trainer and getting a nice long vacation from doing stupid tricks to please an audience.
If you want to perform shows with sea life, you should, at least, pick a naturally sociable animal like a dolphin or a sea lion.

I guess it’s better than whale welfare where we pay his bills for the rest of his life.

Those trainers who work with that whale must be akin to a dog living in Michael Vick’s house (if they ever let him own a pet dog again)...train with one eye open, sleep with one eye open.

70K,Why does OSHA keep that and NOT give that to the trainers involved? Seems once again a worthless Government agency is being enriched.

It didn’t eat her, it was playing with her, but humans can’t generally be tossed about and drug under water for too long. If they thought it had taken her for food, they would have put it down.
