Trainer for a day w/ Shouka the Killer Whale @ Six Flags DK

[jmhaze2006]

SUCH A SHAME, A SMALL AND SHALLOW POOL FOR THIS ANIMAL!!!!! If she is the only orca there, she is being tortured socially.

its so sad, pour Shouka, she needs her freedom back

[B4Malfoy]

@cheymon She never had freedom.

[framptone25]

Tenten35 that is what you get for sitting in the splash zone and she probably didn't mean anything by it

[Sakima636]

You think this is small and awful?? You should check out Lolitas tank at the Miami Seaquarium... shes been in that dilapidated tank for 40 years and was taken from Penn Cove WA when she was about 4. Go check it out so maybe you can help get her out of there. For more info on how you can help Lolita look up Orca Network on the web... they have a facebook page to

Shouka killed a trainer today at six flags =/

[lovemusicvideos]

it wasnt in the news and believe me it would be. TIllikum was in the news for killiing his trainer yesterday

[flargmuffin92]

she did not

[ShimmShadow]

@2drc What the fuck? That was Tilikum.

[khog286]

@2drc no, you're thinking of Shamu at the Sea World park, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is also a theme park with aquatic wildlife too but that is a different company.

[khog286]

Oh no, there's a story to that I'm sure. I'm guessing you were one of the soaked people in front row.

[playfulheartgurl]

i feel bad for Shouka, her only friend is a bottlenose. She needs at least another orca...

:\

[khog286]

Long ago when the park was Marine World Africa USA, this stadium hosted a duo killer whale show with 2 other whales that would then take turns performing with the dolphins during the same show. Youtube may have a few pics/videos on the internet somewhere.

[khog286]

I've never been to Sea World I can't comment but look forward to going there sometime.

52% of respondents reported marine-mammal-inflict-

ed injuries, 89% of injuries to hands, feet, arms,

or legs; 8% on the torso/abdomen; 4%

on the face. 30%+ injuries were severe (90

cases) either a deep wound requiring stitches, or a

fracture. Contact more than 50

days a year with enclosed marine mammals were several times

more likely to suffer a traumatic injury. Assessment

of the risk of zoonotic disease transmission to marine mammal

workers and the public. Naomi A. Rose PhD -2006

hey i was there watching shouka

[nghily777]

do you know the songs they use in this performance? i went to six flags discovery kingdom, but i just love the songs!

[khog286]

Well for the intro and during every lecturing portion the music dies down to a gentle Indian Flute (instrument) solo to reflect the Alaska native american culture with killer whales, the rest is this Six Flags mix tape I'm trying to ID myself.

[khog286]

The party song heard during this show including Six Flags commercials is "the child" by Okumba Zoo.
