shamu kills again

[drunkenclam]

Would have been nice if they had some kind of rehab facility for the animals that obviously do not enjoy this line of work. It's not like they asked to be captured and used for entertainment. Some place where they can just swim and eat fish and be left alone.

that eutopia exist. the ocean from which they came. too a point that is.

Edited to add: I just read that they can be successfully released back into the wild:

you just answered your questions.

Yeah i love how it says that the whales were problems in the past. HMM "Killer" was the first clue. They forget that when they call it "Shamu".

Oh, Shamu is so cuteeee..... OMNOMNOM. No suprises there.

Saw on the news Sea World resumed their killer whale shows, only difference is the trainers aren't allowed in the water at the same time (for now). The killer whale that did this had killed 2 others before. It was a wild caught whale, not one of the ones born in captivity. They should have returned it to the wild a long time ago. An interesting part of the news story that I didn't know about was that the killer whale featured in the movie Free Willy that was trained and released back into the wild later died because it never learned to hunt on it's own. So of course that's one of Sea Worlds arguments for not stopping the shows.
