While I think it is horrible the trainer was killed, I could not stop laughing when I saw the thread title...

No only trainers! This is the 3rd for this particular orca.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

My friend who trains tigers has always said. Never play with them from the time they are born, they can kill you with a single swat.
I was on a shoot for mercury in the 70's, the grown things used bowling balls as toys, just drop out of their mouths like nothin. The ones he has at the Cape May Zoo, they have like tractor tires to play with. No humans inside the fence, Rocky can see, smell and hear you a hundred yards away....

This was an 11,000 lb 22' creature, humans are playtoys....

What's the point of keeping Orcas in jail for earthy crunchy enjoyment anyway.
That 'll learn ya.

May fortune favor the foolish....

They LOVE 'em..... discovery aired show recently showing some of the orca's beaching themselves to get the pups....

If that was the neighbors pit bull the cry to put it down would be deafining.. Kevin hit the nail on the head.. it's about money...


Originaly, it was reported she fell into the pool with this particular orca, one that because of it's size, is not normaly swam with... this morning, same news station, claimed he( the Orca) actualy came out of the water and grabbed her.... I'm sure we will hear more about this story soon..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
