Girl Riding Killer Whale, goes terribly wrong.

[:Hazel]

they shouldnt have put it down as obviously killer whales arn't meant to be rode..

i know thats animal cruelty really ;l it wasnt its own fault some girl wanted to ride on it. :@

Its even crueler that it had to live in that small pool 24/7. They should be out in the wild, in thier own habitat, not where people pay to watch, thats just wrong

Yes it was playing. But would you like someone shoved on your back and you forced to run around? Stupid question, of course you would but thats not the point

Yes they did put the whale down

A human on a whales back is probably like a bag with a few light things in on ours. It would be like a feather to a whale. Plus whales can swim and move around in the water VERY easily. It's not like a human going on a whales back is going to do it any harm...

I think it was playing, it could of completely slaughtered her. Also, it is far from cruel, they actually like it. Dolphins find swimming with humans awfully fun, because they like having someone to swim with them who needs the aid of them. It's sweet, really.

gommeinc is right, also - you can't force an 8,000 lbs animal to let you swim on thier back..
such as discovery cove where i swam with dolphins, the dophins volenteraly come out + do the routine, you can't force them to, they're amazingly stong swimmers.

and it' not food motivation, thats just a treat..
when we went, our dolphin started doing tricks with thefih it was given, showing that it's not food motivation.

anyone who said she deserved it is just as bad, maybe yr against animal cruelty but that woman is human, she doesn't deserve it just as much as the anima doesn't deserve to be keptin captivity.

There is a differnce to riding on the back of an animal and swimming with it, while they may enjoy swimming with humans they may not enjoy getting rode on. Just like i like walking with my mates, but i would prefer them not to be on my back.

The whale shouldnt have been put to sleep though, but i do feel sorry for the woman!

i would SWIM With a dolphin but not RIDE one

[^.^]

im not willing to ride anything with "killer" in its name or associated with it. so her fault she knew the risk.

Tbh, i only have a problem with the putting the whale down, playing with its nothing wrong in my book, but killing the whale when it plays along isnt really playing fair now is it. She knew the risk, if she wasnt prepared to be in a possible accident she should never had got in the tank.
