He would have died younger in the wild
BTW he has killed twice. Why does a whale get two passes but a Pit Bull gets put down for one bite.

Like the article says, maybe he would prefer to die earlier in his own habitat than in a large swimming pool.

Actually he’s killed thrice; two trainers and a homeless guy that wandered into the park.

“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.
