I saw the same show in November. I felt like I was at a cult Shamu worshiping convention with all the repetitive chanting and symbolic hand motions. I remember thinking how creepy the whole thing was, especially the way the trainers deeply hugged/kissed the whales.

Somewhere, a Hollywood exec is just now being handed a treatment for a remake of Orca.

"Seconds before the attack" == boring sea world show
the end is funny, just because they sounded like a retired old couple and the old man wants to just stay in his seat video taping, but his nagging old wife convices him they have to leave.
They could have made a lot more money for this tape, if his wife wasn't in such a rush to go and see the other equally boring sea shows.

I do think you can
befriend and train animals.
If you watch them
they are all pretty smart in their own way.
As for this accident
you know, stuff happens.
In Ohio a 300 pound woman
sat on her husband and killed him.
You gotta' be careful with the
really big animals.

But seriously, i posted this because like a few people here, i really don't like zoos and captive animals. How far and wide does a whale roam day to day? A zoo equals a prison for a mammal. All mammals can suffer from mental problems. The larger and more intelligent, the more likely. A mouse in a nice big cage is one thing, but an elephant or a whale couped up is quite another. I do feel sorry for the trainer. I also feel sorry for caged animals. I was forever put off when i saw an emaciated polar bear in a park. you could see the poor thing had probably lost it's marbles. Putting a large mammal in a confined space is cruel.
All killer whales in captivity in parks should be either set free or put down in my opinion...

This is America, land of the lawyers! I demand that you all refer to the animal in question as an Alleged Killer Whale.
