Alright, I know it’s a sad joke. 

How many people does this killer whale need to kill to get free!!  I hear that he’s killed three people, two were trainers and one was a ding dong that snuck in to the tank one night.  Really what in the hell was he thinking?

What do you do with a “killer” whale?  Can’t really put it down like a dog, I say set it free in the arctic were it belongs. 

What do you think?

I ain't a "killer whale" expert, but it seems to me that we should'nt be surprised when a "killer whale" kills a human.

I agree with AV. Plus I think the orca should have been destroyed after the 1st death.  It's one thing to have one in a tank for us to appreciate like at the Aquarium of the Americas; it's another to expect it to do tricks like your dog.

I think they either need to let the whale free OR, what would be really cruel, keep him in a pen and only use him for breeding.  He would never get to use his energy up that way, but would he survive out in the wild after living in captivity for so long.  He is used to humans so who would feed him?  I really feel for the whale, he doesn't know what he did.  I feel like he was really trying to play with her and grabed her ponytail since it was dangleing there just begging to be pulled on.

If a professional snake handler was working with venomous snakes and made a stupid mistake that cost him his life, would you blame the snake, or the person?

Orcinus Orca may look cute and cuddly, but they're called "Killer" whales for a reason...

Especially when the whale has already killed two other people.  The first was a trainer at a park in British Columbia.  That park got rid of Tilly.  They wanted to set him free but his years in captivity prohibited Tilly from being able to survivie.  I watched the Seaworld's news conference where they stated this is the first trainer they have had die due to the animal; however, some of the new channels had videos of orcas attacking trainers at other Sea World parks.
