Seaworld Killer Whale -

No, but I am saying that it's better to put an animal into a humaine sleep than to put him on stage to horrible kill a human being. And i never said that we HAD to kill the whale, I'm just saying no more shows for him. Put him in a tank with some computers or something to keep him entertained.

Yes. Whales love to play Doom and Battle Chess.

Doom is ossim. But I ment more liek matching shapes or something simple and educational like that.

Why not let it free, brother?

Being forced to do nothing more than basically play on a computer all day is a fate worse than death.

You mean like Keiko (Willy, from Free Willy), who died cold, hungry, lost and lonely after beaching himself in Norway because he couldn't adjust to life in the wild?

Keiko died from pneumonia in Taknes Bay, Norway while under the care of personnel from Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society on December 12, 2003. He had become lethargic and had a loss of appetite. He had finally beached himself in the morning and died at 26 years of age.

Wild males live around 29 years on average

What's your point?

enchilado · #69 03-10-2010, 12:44 AM

That he didn't die because he couldn't adjust to the wild.

EDIT: Never mind

***Nate*** · #71 03-10-2010, 03:09 AM

If you read the rest of the Wikipedia article, you'll see that he crossed the Atlantic, but did not join with any pod of other Orcas. Rather, he searched out human accompanyment. Also, he hadn't been catching enough food for himself and was hungry and underweight.

Doesn't sound to me like a well-balanced wild animal.

enchilado · #72 03-10-2010, 03:21 AM

Well, they shouldn't have caught him in the first place.

***Nate*** · #73 03-10-2010, 03:29 AM

Well, that's a different issue. I agree with you there.

Why the fuck would you need to educate a whale on mathematics?

OANST · #75 03-10-2010, 07:30 AM

The challenge?

Josh · #76 03-10-2010, 07:51 AM

Yes, it is better to kill things than let them live.

OANST · #77 03-10-2010, 07:52 AM

Universal truth right there.

For humans anyway.

Mind being the first one in line, Havoc?

Havoc · #80 03-10-2010, 02:14 PM

Not it.

SeaWorld announced that they're going to keep the damn thing, and unless they keep in in an enclosure with no shows, it's just going to keep killing people. Of course, they can always put it down, but That'd be a waste of money. BECAUSE MONEY IS SOOOOOO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN HUMAN LIVES!

God, I'm awfully anal about these subjects, aren't I?

Gwan-Thwei · #83 03-11-2010, 06:37 PM

I haven't seen those, only ALIEN series and such. But I want to!

So he just wanted his machete back?

I'm surprised this thread has gone on this long with no one making a reference to the movie Orca.

And you know this how?

OANST · #86 03-12-2010, 05:53 AM

It's called a killer whale. God, do the math.

Gwan-Thwei · #87 03-12-2010, 06:21 PM

No, well, yes, but It killed three trainers. You think they would learn after at least the second one! But NOOOOOO THEY'RE JUST GONNA KEEP KILLING PEOPLE SO THEY CAN BUY THEIR HUGE MANSIONS WITH POOLS AND FLAT SCREENS!

MA · #88 03-12-2010, 06:45 PM

bloody whales and their mansions.

enchilado · #89 03-12-2010, 10:08 PM

FLAT SCREENS FOR THE POOR!
