Killer whale Kills Trainer

At the end of the day they are still wild animals no matter how tame people think they are.

Look what happened to Roy of Siegfried and Roy. The tiger that attacked had been in their pride for a long time and it just snapped.

What blows my mind is the guys who climb in tanks full of poisinous snakes. There's that one dude who get's in a tank full of rattle snakes. Now that in my opinion is flat a** stupid.

I think I read somewhere that Tilikum was caught off the coat of Iceland in 1983. He has lived in small tanks most his life. The whale that "played" Free Willy was in a similar situation until someone finally set him free. He lived in the wild until he died a few years later. Tilikum may not make it, but it would be better than a life in captivity.

These things kill and eat Blue Whales, the largest animal on the planet. Besides, has anybody see the movie Orca? Know what little bit about them that I do, I wouldn't get in the water with them. No matter how docile or tame they are there is always the fact that they're one of, if not the, top predator in the ocean.

+1!

They are freakin called "KILLER WHALES"!

We are always going to have THRILL SEAKERS and folks that want to watch and showmen that make a buck off of it. If you make it against the law than only outlaws will make the money........... There's ONLY ONE cure for STUPID.
