Dine With Shamu, the SeaWorld Orlando animal-interaction experience, returned to the theme park s lineup Monday. It was the first time for guests since the death of whale trainer Dawn Brancheau at the attraction in February 2010.
Brancheau was dragged into the water by the 6-ton whale Tilikum after a Dine With Shamu session. Since then, SeaWorld workers have not been allowed to have in-water training hawaii travel agency listings or performances with its killer whales.
Prior to the incident, Dine With Shamu was considered a behind-the-scenes extra. Guests paid for a buffet and sat at tables next to a lagoon while a SeaWorld employee hawaii travel agency listings gave a tutorial. Trainers then put the whale through a series of flips and dives.
Amanda, that whale has killed three people. It s a valuable animal but the Killer Whale is NOT an endangered species. Any other animal that kills a human being, be it an alligator, a bear, a mountain lion or a dog would be captured and euthanized by the appropriate authorities. The only reason why they haven t euthanized this whale is because its worth hundreds of millions in breeding young whales that are used in shows that sell gate tickets for Sea World. I think I have shown that Robert is right and that it is you who are full of rubbish.
Having been much closer to Orcas than anybody who has been to a show or Dine with Shamu I can say the problem is with the Human perception and treatment of these highly Intelligent Beings and not with the Cetaceans themselves.
Actually, that propaganda is all OSHA and not at all SeaWorld. I m not sure what you re talking about, but I interned hawaii travel agency listings there last summer through the college program, and everyone I met there really understands how intelligent they are. EVERY SINGLE TRAINER who has worked with Shamu in the past of is currently at Shamu wants to get back in the water with these magnificent creatures. Even before the accident, the trainers never swam with Tilly (the whale involved), because hawaii travel agency listings of his great size and strength. He was only ever trained with trainers outside of the pool. Dawn Brancheau herself knew, and told the other trainers, that if they ever fell into the water with him they would not likely survive. The accident didn t change how any of the trainers feel about wanting to be in the water with the other whales, and they are not concerned about the safety of doing that. The only thing that is stopping them is OSHA. I understand that you may have misunderstood, just know that everyone I ve met at SeaWorld feels the same way you do.
