Sometimes you get the whale and sometimes the whale gets you.

Going from killing sharks and seals and shit, to literally jumping through hoops for an 8" fish.

Wally the Whale: "Hey Bob, I heard someone talking that the trainers are made of meat..."

Bob the Whale: "Nooooo shit."

I am having a hard time feeling bad about this ordeal. Or the guy who got ate by grizzly bears, or any lion tamers that have ever been attacked....

Or motorcyclists who have been hit by cars turning into them, or skydivers with a twisted chute, or fighter pilots, and so on...

Just leave the animals alone and this shit will kinda not happen but I'm sure some dumbass will swim naked out into the ocean to pet flipper and get eaten by a blow fish.

this whale has been involved in two other deaths. In one, the whale killed the person, but in the other, they simply found the person draped over the whale and think the guy had simply drowned. So, this makes three deaths involving this whale...is there a 3 strikes and your out rule at SeaWorld?

The point is that it is ironic and mindless for a motorcyclist to make fun of someone's death because they were taking a risk.

Everyone who lives a fun life does dangerous things. This trainer was one of their most experienced, had been doing this 16 years....some motorcyclists don't even live through their first month on the street, but when a fellow motorcyclist dies we don't say, "Well, dumbass had it coming, should've been driving an airbag laden SUV"

Some "dumbass" is usually the reason we know as much about the earth as we do, because they're willing to take chances and explore, despite a risk of death or injury. We shouldn't condemn or make fun of them, we should celebrate their efforts and mourn their passing. I know, I know, its the internet and guys have to look tough by making fun of dead people, I get it...its always been like that on forums. I'm just annoyed by a lack of independent and reasonable thought.

For the record, I don't think Killer Whales should be held in captivity unless they're not physically capable of surviving in the wild. It'd be like if people spent most of their waking time caged in a little cardboard cubicle staring at a screen....oh....wait....
