There is also a trainer in the water in both situations.

The going rate for trick whales that occasionally attack is surprisingly low.

The demand for a captive male orca in good health is quite high. This particular whale is one of if not the best sire SeaWorld has ever had, he is worth at least $10 million and probably a lot more.

They are not mindless killers. These whales are nomads that travel all over the world. Imagine if they decided to kill people in small boats or swimming in the ocean?

You dont hear of these things because they dont happen, They show us respect and we cage them and make them do tricks. See the problem?

Yeah, I can't spread them on toast and make a delicious sandwich if they're busy doing tricks to entertain me.

darklotus - I'm pretty sure the kill rate has never been even close to once per year...thus no, I don't believe anyone expected it to ever become the type of thing that would happen once per year.

Awesome and scary at the same time.

Jesus H Christ. Note to self: if reincarnated as a seal don't take refuge from Orcas on ice flows.

Good lord, most humans I know aren't this smart.

I have a hard enough time trying to operate a damn can opener.

wow that orca vs seal video is kind of incredible. honestly makes me wonder if they're dumb enough to think that repeatedly dunking a person underwater by diving on them is just playing.

I honestly believe there would be even more outrage if that was a video of a trainer killing the killer whale...

Wow that is amazing.

The image of trying to tazer a whale is pretty funny. You would probably have to shoot it with a harpoon that had a high voltage wire attached to it. Also reminds me of Suzzers quality post in the whales and lightning post http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...8&postcount=95

That's how killer whales drown whales. There is a clip on Planet Earth of a pod of killer whales jumping on a baby humpback whale to keep it from getting air.

Yeah, after watching the other stuff it's clear that the whale in OP's video had some bad intentions. This makes me believe that the whale was pissed, possibly for some small reason like it believed that the trainer was giving other whales more fish or something, which amuses me.

I tend not to moralize about the actions of animals.
