Earth Island Institute says: OUTRAGEOUS!
SeaWorld is blaming the victim — their trainer who let her ponytail swing into the water — while the real negligence lies with them. They knew the whale Tilicum had a history of attacks against people, but they chose profit over the safety of whales and people.
It is time for a federal investigation of their actions, and time to force them to return orcas to the wild and stop the cover-up. We know this can be done, because we have done it with Keiko, the whale from Free Willy.
