One of the incidents with him was because an idiot waited around after the show, snuck into the pool area and was messing around where they shouldn't have been, is the whale really to blame for that?? Killer whales are wild animals....no matter how trained a wild animal seems they can never be trusted, IMO it's a risk that comes with that kind of occupation. Even with the most recent death it wasn't a malicious attack, he was playing the way a killer whale would in the wild. The don't understand it will kill a human. I'm just glad they didn't euthanize him, honestly.

Seriously. I'm not happy they are putting him back in shows, I think that's a bad idea, but I don't love that any of these animals are in shows to begin with.
Re: Tillikum is returning to the sea world shows.
This animal has caused human suffering on three seperate occasions.
i edited, in case you came back with this reply.
eta again: where should he go? japan?
Catastrophes and natural disasters cannot be prevented. This animal coming into contact with humans can be prevented.
I say send him to Japan and let them make whale meat out of him.
so no compassion for things that cannot be prevented..check!
yes, its the whale's fault for being captured and put on display. barf.
this is a dumb argument
