According to the Los Angeles Times, Chuck Tompkins, the corporate curator in charge of animal behavior for Sea World, said the orca might not be able to survive in the wild after decades in captivity, adding, “I think it’s unfair to do that to an animal.”

But it’s fair to put more human beings at risk by feeding and caring for it?

Either put it down or let it go, just get rid of it! Why is that so difficult for these people?

Me, I am not bothered when these idiots get eaten by their precious animals. If they want to put themselves in harms way, let them. Just don’t get mad at the animal. They are stupid beasts that don’t know any better.

Don’t make the mistake of labelling them ‘stupid’, Warner.

I’m not trying to make some pathetically saccharine remark about ‘animals having intelligence equal to humans’ (because it’s untrue), but animals do possess a certain cunning — particularly predators, since a predator who wants a meal must go out and get it.

I don’t expect wolves to do complex math, but I remember seeing video once where a wolf pack forced a moose into an icy stream — and kept it there, until it keeled over from hypothermia.

It’s kind of like a computer with a less sophisticated processor and a smaller stack of programs. We have bigger processor cores and programs for lots of things. Animals run on single-processor boards and their programs are limited to ‘hunt’ ‘screw’ ‘sleep’, etc :)

I’m with John Hawkins on this one folks: Put that bugger down!

They are stupid beasts that don’t know any better.

Bullcrap. They may not understand right from wrong, but they know what they’re doing.

As I said on the other thread, this animal has clearly become unmanageable. It’s too aggressive and too dangerous to be around humans any more. And since there’s no use in keeping a killer whale around if they’re not going to let people near it, they should either kill it or set it free.

I’m with mightysamurai here. If a dog seriously injured even ONE person let alone actually managed to kill several, it would be euthanized and no one would bat an eye. Why the resistance with this critter? How is it different?

How is it different?

It’s different because the human animal entered the whale world – not the other way around. Stay out of the water, all should be fine. It is the correct decision to keep the whale alive.

Martha-
The same foolish statement could be made about some pitbull that attacks and kills a child. The humans entered dog world. I hate to break this to you, child, but humans come before lower animals.

Shit, they should publicly shoot the orca just to piss off clowns like you…

but humans come before lower animals.

Now now, as a prison guard you argued the opposite.

It should be put down without further debate. That’s what would happen to any other creature that starts attacking humans.

Ah, humans have done enough slaughtey of the other animals, say I. Quid Pro Quo. If ya can’t take the swim, stay outta the pool.

Murder is okay if someone or something “enters your world”. Gotcha.

Self-defence, tiny. Like having a firearm in the nightstand. You like that, don’tcha?

Plus, no “murder” was comitted.

Self-defence, tiny.

Killing someone for “entering your world” is self-defense? So if someone walks across my lawn, I can shoot them in the face?

Plus, no “murder” was comitted.

Oh really? Was Dawn Brancheau brought back to life recently?

Now now, as a prison guard you argued the opposite.

ah, but I’m not a prison guard, Martha (note you replied to my calling you that…proof that you are indeed the same person). I’ve stated my oppupation here at least once. Don’t you recall what it is?

Also it’s interesting watching you minimising and justifying the death of the trainer. But given your moraly bankrupt nature it’s no suprise that you don’t value human life.

Plus, no “murder” was comitted.

Actually to be totally fair fag-boy is right here. Murder is by definition a un-lawful killing. As human laws do not apply to animals, there was no murder commited. This is also why I object when leftists make the incorrect statement that capital punishment is murder and people on our side claim that abortion is murder as well. This does not mean that Ms. Brancheau is not dead, that her death was a tragic and avoidable incident, and that the critter responsible is dangerous and should be ethanized. All three are true statements. But no murder by the correct definition was commited.

Ok, the last part of that post came out disjointed. Let me try that again:

This does not mean that Ms. Brancheau is not dead, that her death was not a tragic and avoidable incident, and that the critter responsible is not dangerous and should be not ethanized. The opoposite is true in all three case. But no murder by the correct definition occured.

The critter in question is not used in ‘demonstrations’, but rather as a breeding animal. Supposedly he is worth millions on the orca market.
I saw the vid of him trying to kill another trainer by repeatedly leaping out of the water and landing where he thought the trainer was, in an attempt to flatten the trainer or drive him underwater.
This creature knows that ‘man’ is not a water dweller, and knows how to drown seals as Discovery Channel has show repeatedly.
The trainer who just died was aware of his previous ‘adventures’, or should have been.
An orca calf weighs as much as Dawn when it is born. They have large mouths with lots of teeth. Oh, and they weigh about 12,000 pounds. Isn’t that enough warning?
