It seems like what the real story is as to what happen at Sea World a couple of weeks ago is still unclear. An article from the NYTimes says that the killer whale pulled the Sea World trainer off the poolside platform; and the trainers weren’t suppose to get in the water with him because of his size and weight. While another article from the New York Times shows a video of the trainer in the water with the whale just seconds before he pulled her underwater by her hair.
Personally I think so far, Sea World has handled this crisis well. As soon has they discovered what happened, they directed visitors out of the area. I think the only problem they made was later in the day of when the crisis occurred, there was an announcement on that the trainer tripped and fell into the water…which was not true.
In my opinion, I know being able to see killer whales draws people to Sea World, but the truth is that they are a wild animal, and should be left in the wild. People brought him out of his natural habitat, and put him into a captive surrounding, a place where they don’t belong. This particular killer whale has also killed two other people. At this point, he probably can’t be put back into his natural habitat and survive, but he probably should have been left there from the beginning.
