woman killed at seaworld

[froggie71]

How awful. I just read the link. My sister and parents were there in November and they really enjoyed sea World. My sister always wanted to be a dolphin trainer. I will be saying a prayer for the trainer and their family. I see people are making all kinds of comments that are taking away from the focus of the fact that the trainer was killed.

The trainer knew the dangers of working with large exotic animals.

I feel for the trainer's family.

How sad.. Yes, its his second victim....

you'd THINK they would have gotten the hint after the first person was found dead...
THose poor whales go CRAZY in those small pools.. Whales are the 3rd smartest creatures on the planet.. ( 1: Humans... 2: Primates... 3: Whales/dolphins... 4: Pigs..

)
Plus..they are called killer whales for a reason.. IMO....they have a high prey drive.. Look at how they are in the wild..how they torment and toss around the seals before they eat them..
Did he eat her?? ooh god..

I feel bad for the whale & the trainer. It's sad to think that we as human beings assume we can control anything we desire too. Then, when unfortunate things like this happen, it will eventually wind up going back on the "big bad whale"... He should have known better, right

I will not go to those types of places because I don't think they should be in captivity like that - it is totally unnatural... Don't even get me started on the circus

Sorry, for the rant! I do feel terrible for the trainer & her family...

I don't think that any whale species should be kept in captivity.

Whales are highly intelligent and are used to living in a very enriched environment called "the ocean". There is no way that habitat could be recreated in captivity. Not that they even try. If a human were kept 24/7 in a small, empty, blue room, with only enough space to make a few paces in, it would be deemed extremely cruel. Any sentient being would snap under those circumstances!
