SeaWorld Whale kills trainer as spectators watch

[Phishfan]

^^^ That wasn't the only one. This was the third death this whale had involvement in, two trainers and the dumbass.

[StL FinFan]

^ I stand corrected.  I only knew about the dumbass and the trainer.  I just saw where he killed another trainer in a different marine park.

Man. I was just there a few weeks ago.  That would have been horrible to see.

What do you think is going to happen to the whale? What should be done? I don't think it can be released once in captivity.  I'm guessing just ship it somewhere where it can be watched and viewed , not interacted with. 

Why not?

Watch this video and read the commentary. These orca still seem to have their hunting skills intact. Also, both the seal and the great white videos are listed next to this one.

Keiko from "Free Willy" was released back into the wild where he joined a pod and lived out the rest of his life.  I watched a documentary about it.  Here is the trailer:

I read that they aren't going to put this whale down which is good.

Speaking of TV hijacks, I remember in the late 90's the Magic were in the playoffs, and there was a nasty storm coming to Central Florida and they kept interrupting the game to give updates on the storm. People pitched a fit about it and that night, there were around 10 tornadoes and about 20 people were killed.

I'd put the whale down.  Whale steak...... MMMMMMMMMMMM

He died after only two years I think. It wasn't very successful.

I really didn't know. I guess if it can be then thats a good option. Of course Disney/Seaworld has millions wrapped up in it and if they can squeeze more out of it by just displaying it , they will.  I'm sure they won't advertise it, but a known KILLER killer whale would bring people in to see it like King Kong.

Sounds like a serial killer whale to me. Sorry, I just had to.

The thing that I was floored about this story was from my local news lastnight....They kept saying...."Coming up the Autopsy results from the trainer that was killed by the killer whale in Seaworld in Florida...."    Really? She was killed by a Killer Whale! Sorry it just killed me, all three stations did a story on it....

Ahhhh, the beauty of a good pun.

Coming up the Autopsy results from the trainer that was killed by the killer whale in Seaworld in Florida...."    Really? She was killed by a Killer Whale!

It was a conspiracy...two walruses and the moray eel were in on the hit. This will all come out in the investigation.

There not sure of the cause of death....they have it narrowed down to:

a) drowning
b) sunburn poisoning
c) gun shot wound
d) frostbite

Not until lab results come back will they be sure what caused her to die.
