I’m not so sure about that. It looked like she made it to safety, only to be drug back down. With some forms of cancer you are pretty certain the end will come.
This was a case of an animal playing with its prey.
The only thing that pisses me off is Sea World making money off of her death. I live in San Antonio, And I will never give them a dime of my money. We should be outraged that we place profit over life. I’m tired of the value of a life being compared to that of a dollar.
So are they not getting rid of the animal that has now been involved in 3 deaths? If so, they wont be getting any more of my money. I have been to the one in San Antonio and surprisingly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
If that was my daughter, let’s just say this director’s lack of compassion coupled with the decision to allow the whale to continue to live, would stir very violent emotions.
Yea, but they usually shoot the lions, elephants or what have you. I dont know, it just seems wrong since this is now the third person this whale has killed. Would you take your kids to a show to see the whale that has killed three people?
Unless you’ve actually witnessed death, I guess it’s hard to see what the loss of a life does to you. I just don’t write off death the way I used to, unless it’s a dirt bag that is on the receiving end.
In fact they do sell Orca killer whale t-shirts. I don’t look at war movies the same as some people. Some of them get to me.
I am against putting this animal down, but not against retirement. No one should profit from it anymore. They made their money, it’s time to draw the curtain on Tilikum.
“That tiger didn’t go crazy; that tiger went tiger! You know when he was really crazy? When he was riding around on a unicycle with a Hitler helmet on!”
They reported that whale was worth $20 million and purchased for breeding reasons. He was not originally meant to be used for shows.
I’m guessing the trainers knew of his previous attacks…an ugly way to die for sure but why would they get in the water with a critter that had already killed 2 people.
