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.

So.... looks like their might be some more job openings in the Killer Whale Trainers area.

“... we try to keep them in captivity and have them perform stupid tricks..”

Agreed! A wild animal behaved like a wild animal (killing the trainer) and people are confused? SeaWorld has decided to give a KILLER WHALE another try... at what? Performing for an audience? I personally think that they looked at the cost of training another whale and decided that it was a “good business” decision to keep this one. Stupid!
