“BTW he has killed twice. Why does a whale get two passes but a Pit Bull gets put down for one bite.”
I don’t really have an Orca in this fight, to paraphrase a metaphor. I suspect that the trainers working with Tilikum are well aware of the risk. However, these animals are very intelligent and thereby learn from their experiences. So, it’s my guess that because he has already killed twice he will someday kill again if given the opportunity. It’s my guess that this guy just enjoys killing. About your Pit Bull, sadly for Pit Bulls they have not been adopted by the Enviro Nazis as the Orcas have.
The captive Orca poses a danger to his captors, but it would be a rare set of circumstances that resulted in an attack on a member of the public. Orcas provide a public benefit, evidenced by the tens of thousands of people who visit SeaWorld every year to see them. Orcas are caged wild animals, similar to any zoo, aquarium, or circus animal, who have been neither bred nor domesticated for cohabitation with humans. Orcas are owned and caged only by those with the training and resources to handle them.
None of this is true of pit bulls.
