It didn't just pull her under. It grabbed her and shook her so hard that her shoes flew off.
I doubt she drowned.

Ah, so the real story is that the whale killed the hell out of her. The initial reports really sugar coated it and made it seem the whale gently grabbed her like a kitten and went down for some cuddly play time that lasted a bit too long.

Yeah it probably thought she was a seal or something as I'm sure she was wearing a wetsuit.
I think all aquatic life should be in the water free from captivity and its the people who keep parks like Sea World that should be blamed when something like this goes on.
On that note I would say the same for people who enter the aquatic domain. Get taken by a White shark? Stay out of the ocean, the same for Killer Whales.

Yes, yes I did. Believing that someone has placed themselves in a dangerous situation does not automatically mean I lose sympathy for them if they get hurt. I don't understand people who equate "that person has placed themselves in danger" with "frack them they deserve to get hurt." Saddam Hussein I had no sympathy for. The Seaworld employee who gets killed by a killer whale I have lots of sympathy for.

OTOH, the whale gets all the fish it can eat, top notch medical care, protection from natural risks... Could one argue it's more of a symbiotic relationship than the tree huggers paint it?
