LOL "poor comment" is like kind of a silly way to put it.... LOL

it may not be a negative situation, if i were a trainer i would only be doing that out of the deepst love and respect for these ebings of such joy and ancient love and if i were a trainer who wanted to make the ultimate demonstration of respecta and love what better "way to go" than in service to the message of freedom? like so many soldiers who die for their mates that we glorify...is there any difference here?

Thank you for your wise, insightful comments in understanding the amazing intelligence of the Orcas.

he has a very good point!

Idea: Has anyone considered a petition to free this poor enslaved whale? "Willy" was freed. Maybe, the whale needs to learn to say "no" to their commands.

Thanks Joe for all that you do. I've also swam with dolphins and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life (and I wasn't breaking any "Laws"). The whale needs to be free - it is his/her right - it is most likely in anguish and very angry for being a prisoner and for being treated so disrespectfully. I never consider attending these places. Zoos even depress me. I feel sorry for the whale AND for the trainer. What a negative situation that could have been/can be avoided.

go hug a damn tree, god damn hippie
And so for 25 years, Tilikum has been swimming in circles, in a space that is said to be the equivalent of keeping a human being confined in a bathtub. He has lived a lonely, stressful, and mentally debilitating life. Its no wonder he has snapped and killed three humans.This was not an accident. It was a calculated risk that SeaWorld took, looking at their bottom line, their quarterly profits. This is criminal negligence. This is not an isolated incident. -Ric O'Barry

Ric O'Barry's comment above is an excellent summary of the situation; it comes down to economics and basic greed.

Koudos to you! If he killed once, they should have let him go. It was a sign of him wanting to be free. Not all wild animals can be or are willing to be tamed. Look at the signs!

People reported that he was acting agitated prior to the event and wouldn't do the tricks he was 'commanded' to do. He gave plenty of signs...

That goes for us as well; they're chained behind physical bars, ours are psychological...
