in a way this story is sad too. dont get me wrong, i am happy he is free but for some reason i am incredably sad too. The article quoted the guy saying "willy" was starved for attention. y does man have to ruin so much. y did they ever have to take willy and make him into a trained puppet. was he swimming alone instead of laching onto a pod??? i dont know y it makes me so sad but it does. once they took poor will ( i cant think of him as keiko yet) and made it so he no longer knew how to be a free whale then they souldnt have released him although im glad they did. call me a hypocritte if u want but i just cant explain my fence sitting feeling. doesnt that story make any of u as sad as i feel???
