Opinions on recent Sea World Death

It is hard to search for it is on youtube aswell just type i tilikum and you should be able to find it.

 

Still can't see the actual video of what happened.

Anyone cares to link please?

 

The video is call Tilikum killing trainer Dawn Brancheaw Warning Graphic it is on you tube

 

this is similar to the girl who got her face ripped off by her friend's chimp.

 

What I find lame is that these animals are often put down after such incidents. Obviously the Orca is a big investment so this alone saves his life.

 

That's exactly how I feel about this. I love animals but I refuse to go to zoo's and parks that keep big animals like this (orca's, dolphins, seals, tigers, elephants, monkeys etc etc etc) in captivity. I want them to be in the wild (or in case they need to be "rescued", kept in large wildlife reserves where they can 'roam free' but kept under observation until they can be let out into the wild).

The last couple of years an unfortunate trend has also developed where pet stores will put puppies etc in the window as to lure passers by to buy a pet on impulse. A dog purchase should be done only after months of thought, consideration and preparation.

I'll stop before this rant fill several pages...
