Agreed. But unfortunately if he is freed, he would end up dying because he doesn't know how to fend for himself.Originally Posted by Grace
But Seaworld would probably feel better about that, than euthanizing him. That way, they wouldn't have to face the end result of their folly!

I feel bad about it because I think that he thought he was playing with the trainer. I was discussing with my coworkers and we couldn't agree on whether he actually considered her prey or not.
The whale obviously doesn't know that what he did was wrong and I can't decide if punishing him would be fair. It is an extremely unfortunate incident. Animals in captivity for that long.. are bound to snap. Right?

She probably looked like a seal in the wetsuit. I always wondered how on earth they feed these beasts. Killer whales eat seals weighing in at hundreds of pounds as mere snacks. They also eat other (larger) whales. Do you think seaworld has enough buckets of chum to satisfy a whale's needs for life? I actually like the idea of this happening in front of an audience. It shows people that whales aren't cute and cuddley like Lisa Frank would want you to think. You can't stick your head in the sand forever.

Whats so bad is this was the third death that this whale has done.. Also the very first owners before Sea World had told of the past two deaths he done.. Also this guy said the whale was only to be used as a Stud for breeding at Sea World.. That was part of the aggreement of the sale to Sea World..

One of the deaths was a homeless fellow who hid in the Park til after closing time....he wanted to 'ride the whale'. Hard to blame Tillikum for that one.
As to whether he was playing...one whale person said that killer whales can tear apart blue whales. So - if Tillikum's intentions were savage ones, it would have been way worse!
Saw the swinging ponytail and was like a cat?

Yes I so agree.. I saw her pony tail & was so suprised that she was allowed to wear her hair like that while performing with the whale.. She should of had it put up.. I think he was playing & for sure did not know what he had done.. I wish they could put him in a place on his own & or maybe with a mate & just leave him alone.. I aggree with the others they are not meant to perform & do what they do.. They are suppose to be wild..
