Tilikum has been involved in two previous deaths. He was one of three whales blamed for the 1991 drowning of a trainer while he performed at the now-defunct Sealand of the Pacific in British Columbia.Just Another Blog™ draws the line firmly, & some distance before, sex w/ non-human animals. No substitutions, please. Even worse. If a drone like these were dressing up like us, we'd act on some of our baser impulses as well.
In 1999, the dead body of a naked man was found lying across Tilikum's back at SeaWorld Orlando. Investigators concluded that the man, who had sneaked into the park after hours or hidden there until it closed, likely drowned after suffering hypothermia in the 55-degree water. They also said Tilikum appeared to have bitten the man and torn off his swimming trunks, perhaps thinking he was a toy.
Several said the whales weren't behaving normally during the 12:30 p.m. show.Quiver in fear before the revolutionary justice of organized marine mammals, land lubbers!
Brad Sultan of Tampa said one of three whales that was supposed to create a triangle with three trainers didn't do it. Another whale that was supposed to swim around the tank and splash made it only about a quarter of the way, he said.
The show, Sultan said, "abruptly ended."

Ever seen the footage of killer whales beaching themselves to nab seals and then flopping back into the water, heaving the seals about like rag dolls before consuming them?
ReplyDeleteI am in full support of that.
