Ever hear about them targeting Disney or Universal for destruction? No?
Hmmmm. Interesting.
Ever hear about them targeting Disney or Universal for destruction? No?”
Incident with Gibson Guitars being singled out immediately comes to mind.
Clearly, Team Sea World has to recruit overt bull-dyke lesbians to interact with the creatures. No foul, then.
Shamu Shamu. Actually the trainers stand on a slope and the whales can easily scoot out and grab them. The trainers also ride around on the whales. It is very dangerous and IMHO unnecessary. I went years ago with my tun 6 year old granddaughter and I sure would not have wanted to see anyone killed or injured. When we were all chanting Shamu it felt a bit like the Roman colosseum. In a good way. LOL
So does this mean nobody can work in the ocean? There are no barriers between them and the scary monsters of the ocean.
Please see the documentary Blackfish. Tilikum had killed 2 other trainers in other parks, and Sea World Orlando did not give this info to their trainers, including Dawn.
It will absolutely change your mind on whether killer whales should be kept in captivity. I suspect within two generations, we will look back with disgust and say, What were we thinking?
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes, a government action is just a government action.
SeaWorld is putting dollars over safety and OSHA is right to step in on this one, as SeaWorld has shown a reckless disregard for the safety of their staff.
If you are a trainer and you don’t know the inherent dangers of dealing with animals any animals. (a Charolais bull put me in the hospital for 3 weeks) and OSHA has to tell you. Then you probably voted for Obama.
There are dangerous acts performed every day - some with animals and some without animals. Cirque Soleil comes to mind. I think these acts are in a separate category than say factory safety and OSHA has no role here. How does one accept a job interacting with “killer whales” and not understand there is danger involved?
I hope the ban stays in place and SeaWorld goes out of business. These animals are deeply intelligent, social creatures and they don’t deserve to spends their lives in concrete tanks.
