Upclose and personal with a Killer Whale

I was at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada on August 14th 2006. I went to visit the killer whales and this one came to me the second I got there and would not leave me alone for about 30 min. It was pretty crazy!!!!

if a killer whale thinks you have to lose weight, then you have to lose weight.

@archangel385 actually zoo animals do get released quite often, and sucessfully into the wild. there are animals which were once extinct in the wild but are now thriving due to reintroduction to the wild release programs

Awh Kiska! She's so pretty!

@Colstonewall No-I wouldn't like it if someone took me out of my natural environment. But the majority of captive whales are now captive-bred. They aren't caught out of the ocean. For a captive-born whale, captivity IS its natural environment. Why should we remove it from what it has always known?

Regarding their liking to captivity, you may be right, they may not like captivity-But there's not really any way to prove that.. at all.

omg...can we stop arguing about whales being released or being held in captivity?! Just enjoy the effin video!!!

This is depressing. If seeing an animal of this intelligence, complexity and sheer size living in a swimming pool doesn't depress you-I questing your moral stance and I especially question the size of your heart.

he. HE what the fuck its a female gay ass fuck!!!. anyway nice vid

[Colstonewall]

@ZachThinkSharksRCool I suspect if someone took you out of your environment against your will, you might not like it. Maybe we don't know if these animals like living in pools or not, irregardless they shouldn't be taken out of their natural environment. I seriously doubt they like living in captivity.

[ZachThinkSharksRCool]

Wow, I didn't know so many people in the world could speak whale! I didn't know you could learn whale!

I love how people say "These whales aren't happy here and want to go back to the ocean." Well, I say how do YOU know? Don't give me some crap like "Well, duh they killed some people." Because that doesn't mean that a whale wants to go back to the ocean-that only says the whale was in the mood for something new.

Hahpuppy ur absolutely RIGHT,they would DIE if they were released look what the hell happened to KEIKO remember PPL! he freakin died after being released,

[hahpuppy]

@PacificOrcas Well, you are right. But sometimes it may not work. Kieko was just lucky he lived a long time in the wild after his capture. Like I was saying, If they just released him, he would have died imediatly. SO... Yeah.
