Well gee, a killer whale that has been kept in captivity for who knows how long has a bad day.......maybe he missed the part in the script where he was supposed to perform totally un-natural acts so that a theme park could make lots of money from his imprisonment........bad, bad whale........good thing this didn't happen in Richmond...... he wouldhave been shot and so would the dolphins..........

I agree... the report said they have 7 killer whales there... just how much space to they have for those whales in order for them to be comfortable? You know, since they're naturally supposed to be enjoying the oceans and all.

Don't know for sure....but the tanks were (are) HUGE! Also, the show tank holds 6.5 million gallons of water.....Put it this way....even the whales looked a little small.

Hmm...maybe. But I don't ever remember taking hold of my teacher (Mom) and yanking her around by her foot underwater.

Nice try Brian.... but the aggression was probably caused by sheer boredon rather than limited socialization.... even though those tanks are huge, remember the ocean is limitless. Whales are also migratory, so they have to deal with that also.......maybe Shamu (isn't there more than one by that name?) was just trying to break the monotony......

Yes, actually all of the Orcas at Sea World are called "Shamu," even though they all have different names. Guess it's kind of like calling all soda "Coke."

I think his jealous coworkers sprayed some herring juice on him before he got in the tank. That'll teach him to hog all the glory!
