A Whale Of A Story
Posted in: Johnny
Ok we’ve all heard the tragedy story about the horrible incident that happened in Orlando. First of all my thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the trainer who died doing what she enjoyed doing; working with wild animals. And I must also say that most of the talk since this tragedy has been about what to do with this Killer Whale, and not about the trainer and what her family is going through.
The thing I don’t get is why are the people at Sea World so shocked that the whale attacked the trainer. This was not the first time it happened, and it wasn’t even the 2nd time it happened. This was the third time this Killer Whale killed a trainer and they’re still sending trainers into the tank with it. Do they think it was the previous trainers fault that the whale attacked them? Are they determined to sell tickets to see this whale in action at the cost of another human life?
If you paid attention to what the Sea World officials were saying after the incident, it seems like to me nothing is going to happen to the whale. I don’t think they should destroy it simple because the whale is only acting out it’s instinct. But I certainly don’t think they should allow another trainer to possible suffer the same fate of the other three.
