Got that right, pretty dull day outside.

Free willy!

Surprised you assumed that without doing a search for 'Shamu'... or glancing over the 1st page..

And I thought I was having bad luck.

Guess that's not the first time that whale has killed

Can't believe there's no video of this yet.

What self-respecting whale wouldn't snap after doing this shit all day?

Sounds like she slipped and fell and the whale didnt kill her but may have even tried to help her.

she did she get eaten or what?

Not sure how you arrived at that, but no indication she was eaten either.

I heard about this just a few hours ago! I wonder how traumatized all of the kids in the audience are going to be! :P

Always believe the news 100%?

Two words...

"Killer Whale"

lesson learned stay out of water with killer whales in it

Orcas are actually the largest species of dolphins. So, "Killer Dolphin". Perhaps it's better not to keep wild animals in captivity.

They dont call them killer whales for nothing...

Sham-Wow!

:1orglaugh

Just think for a moment how you would feel if you had all the space in the world to move around in, then some asswipe captures you and puts you in a room 20 square for the rest of your life ?
Me, id be fucking chewing anything and anyone in site :error

Last I have heard / read Sea World is saying she slipped and fell into the tank and it was an accident, people who were actually in the audience are saying the whale did a quick dash around the tank, circled back around, jumped up and grabbed the trainer by the waist and took her down.

I have to agree with PETA on this statement from the story.


A spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called the death "a tragedy that didn't have to happen."

Jaime Zalac said the organization had called on SeaWorld "to stop confining oceangoing mammals to an area that to them is like the size of a bathtub, and we have also been asking the park to stop forcing the animals to perform silly tricks over and over again. It's not surprising when these huge, smart animals lash out."

Free Willy,the whales are pissed off

Killer Whale

It kind of looks like a dolphin, doesn't it. Except a dolphin doesn't kill people.

It appears that killer whale was also involved in two other incidents.

ok, i got mine out ... now, what to do with it? :1orglaugh

That sucks......

It killed a man who snuck into the park at night, and it killed a trainer in BC in the early 90s. They said that death was also "accidental".. but you gotta wonder.

They always say when an animal gets a taste of human blood they can no longer be trusted.

I don't think they should destroy it, but they certainly should remove it from performing.

I would like to see Sea World build out some type of retirement reserve for it's aquatic life the way alot of other companies that profit of wild animals have. They could even bring in tourists as long as they do it the right way, kind of like Big Cat rescue if any of you have ever heard of that. :2 cents:

something smells fishy. i suspect something fishy. sounds like fishy business.

Why don't they give it a 10 minute head start and let the Japanese hut the fucker down.

This also happened in another thread :1orglaugh

So sad. They are called KILLER whales for a reason though.

It's sad for sure but that just goes to show they are animals and not people.

Since people would never kill.

fuck you dolphin!!!

I never said people wouldn't kill.
:(

You are wrong. Dolphins kill way more people than killer wales. :2 cents:

Where are the vids/pics btw??
