What part of “killer whale” don’t you understand? While Sea World patrons were finishing up their meals, a trained dolphin (a.k.a. “killer whale”) killed a Sea World employee. You know why? Because it’s a KILLER whale. It’s what they do.
And what do animal kooks do? They instantly go into denial.
First they lied and said the trainer fell in. Then they said that “one of our trainers drown.” Then came “We have never in the history of our parks experienced an event like this,” from a Sea World spokesman yesterday.
WRONG.
The ticket-buying public had to tell the real story. This huge animal jumped up, grabbed the trainer and essentially mauled her to death. This whale has been involved in three incidents in the past. In 1999, at the SAME park the SAME killer whale killed a man. In 1991, the SAME whale killed another trainer at a different facility.
“They’re loving animals,” some shark-hugging nut told an Orlando TV station after the killing. And he’s right. Killer whales ARE loving animals. They love meat.
And when they see you, that’s what they see. Self-propelled snack items. If we could invent a Slim Jim that brought us our breakfast every morning, we’d have what this shark thinks it has.
So why was this repeat killer part of the kiddie show yesterday? Because there are so many people who just can’t admit that animals are nothing but, well, animals. They don’t love. They don’t understand what “love” means. They are unaware of the idea of “love,” or “hate” or “choice” or “will.” They live on instinct and training. Period.
“They really know me,” the trainer said of this animal in a 2002 interview. So does that mean this supersized dolphin did this to its friend on purpose? After all, it “knew” who it was killing. Of course not.
This animal didn’t “know” anything, other than certain behaviors got it more treats from the walking meat sticks flinging in the fish every day. If any of those meat sticks had any sense, this killer whale would have been killed and stuffed back in 1991. If it weren’t for emotional anthropomorphism of animal-crazed Americans, this animal would have been chopped up for bait when it killed in 1999.
But the animal kooks—including this trainer—got their way, and the killer lived to kill another day.
NOW can we end the conversation and just kill the fish? As VB from Fox 25 Morning News said today, this shark is the Amy Bishop of the sea world. When is someone finally going to do the right thing?
FROM THE MAILBAG:
They should just rename the whale Amy Fishop and be done with it. -Dave.
When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”… Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate.
