Killer Whale

Recently, a whale in Sea World killed it's trainer. Dawn Brancheau was the whales trainer more than any other trainer in their Orlando park. The whale, Tilikum, weighs 12,000 pounds but this wasn't the first incident the whale has done. Apparently the whale has killed two other people, a trainer in 1991 in a Canadian Park and also a man who stayed after hours and took a "swim" with the whale and was found dead in the tank also in Sea World. The people who were around to see the show Dawn had put on with the whale said it wasn't "behaving". Not long after the show, Tilikum pulled Dawn in and was thrashing her around until she drowned. I would like to know why they have kept this whale around if they know that it has killed two other people? Animals aren't like people and you can't know what their thinking.

  1. Thats crazy. I used to love going to Sea World. I think they should get rid of the whale if it continues to kill people.
