Miss M sorry *hugz*

Ben - WTF? That is completely screwed up.

Alan - hope you weren't injured and the car is salvagable (sp?)

I hate dealing with real estate agents. I hate moving, I hate the entire house/moving/buying/selling crap all together.

I wish I could just point to a house and say "I'll live there thanks" and go to sleep, and the moving faeries would take care of the rest.

Ah, its quiet... its raining and quiet. My neurotic cat is around here somewhere... either stalking me or sleeping harmlessly.

I've started a big project around the house.. I have no idea how long its going to take me.. now all I really want to do is get my guitar out and tune it..... play it... take out my keyboard and re learn how to play it.. as its been years and all I remember is the beginning to fur eliese.... bleh

I have two medium sized art pieces started.. but no idea how I want to finish them.. the deadline for one keeps sliding closer one day at a time.

Thats pretty much the tip of it all for right now.. the rest lies beneath the surface where it should stay, never to see the light of day.

I assume his quote "fuck everything - fuck everyone - and fuck you" means some hurt was done.

Did another trainer get killed or is this about them eating other whales?

It's about the last trainer that got killed. OSHA came out with a report that says SEAWORLD was negligent in their safety practices and that THEY (not the Killer Whale) are responsible for the trainer's death. But I'm sure there are news stories about people protesting that the animal should be put down ... idiots.

I thought I read somewhere that the whale acted out as a result of being forcefully bred with other whales and then kept in isolation; in essence, they tortured him into insanity. It's their own damn fault he attacked that trainer. I'd say put the trainer down, but apparently it's already been done.

EDIT: Ben beat me to it.

Aaaaah. Yeah, see, I don't know why people are surprised. Its not safe, they're animals, and they're extremely intelligent social animals kept in isolation, what do they think is going to happen? Animals just like people go nuts in situations like that.

But the point is, the animal wasn't driven crazy ... the management at Seaworld does not train their people to use safe practices around a large and admittedly dangerous animal.

The same kind of thing hits the news periodically about people keeping a tiger or an elephant at some zoo or compound when a handler gets killed. A wide variety of people will speculate that the animal went crazy and should be put down, or that these animals should not be held in these facilities. But almost inevitably the fault is due to a mistake made by the handlers ... sometimes in just underestimating the danger of working with such wild and powerful beasts.

According to the article I read, he was acting out due to stress and hormones; not necessarily insanity, but definitely related to their methods of treating him. Here's the article I read:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35584261...ience-science/

I trust it about as far as I trust any other article I suppose, but it was the first article I read regarding the incident. I don't disagree that SeaWorld's health and safety practices may have been a factor, but I think the animal's mental state was also a factor.

Edit: I agree that people should not blame the whale; regardless of his mental state. People who work with dangerous animals have to understand the risks, and honestly I doubt the trainer he killed would have wanted him to be harmed, either.

Well yeah I don't mean that the animal in question was clinically insane, I should've said "aggressive", I mentioned in another thread that we've been seeing orcas around here lately as they hunt the minke whale, they're never around here. While we were driving out to the park where we went camping I was listening to CBC radio and they had a marine biologist on the line and callers could call in to ask questions about the whales, and he said in the wild he never heard of a human being killed by an wild orca. According to wikipedia there's been very few attacks at all and none fatal.

I honestly do think though that by having these whales in captivity as they do, in isolation and limited space, would contribute to their aggression and stress, although their own safety measures are not enough in this case either anyway. Its a lot like elephants too, wild elephants live longer than those in captivity, they're just not meant to be put in small spaces behind glass for our entertainment.

That article from Feruary was all "speculation" from those experts. Their statements were loaded with "X could have caused the behavior" and "the orca may have been acting out due to Y". I've seen other experts suggest the animal might have started out thinking it was playing with the trainer when it grabbed her ponytail, and then once she was in the water and panicked, the animal changed it's intent. Nobody sems to be able to state with a certainty what the animal was thinking.

There's only guesswork, and that actually serves to point out one thing ... how little we actually know about these animals and why ongoing study of them is so valuable.

Here's the press release from OSHA direct from the Department of Labor website, which is full of much more factual information than what you have been reading.
