Fox had the trainer's sister on this morning, and she basically said that she died doing what she loved, and that she wouldn't want anything done to "Telly".   OTOH, if it weren't for human interaction with animals, we wouldn't have dogs and cats.

Yeah, or horses, I suppose.  But you still aren't getting me near a killer whale.  Or any Lions, Tigers or Bears.

I had a sore back last time I got rear-ended.  Advil did the trick.

You know, I think it's a credit to the basic decency of the population of the Cave that no one has stepped up to spike this oh-so-tempting lob.

Yet.

Did you ever see the Bear Whisperer...this man lived on a "compound" that was "bear friendly"  You had to see how he interacted with them...It was amazing...

Unlike the other orcas at SeaWorld, Tilikum - who has accidentally killed twice before - is not accustomed to performing with humans in his tank. His part of the famous Shamu show comes at the end, when he uses his massive tail to splash the audience.

"Trainers do interact with Tilikum from the sides of the pool, but do not enter the water with him," SeaWorld said.

But the tourist video clearly shows a smiling Brancheau in the water with the giant whale.

That big boy loved this girl! He followed her all over the tank! She got in the tank with him and he wanted to play. Hell, she encouraged him! He had no idea she couldn't hold her breath like he can. What a shame. I'll lay odds he's going to wonder where the hell she is for weeks! Wouldn't surprise me, when she doesn't show up, he goes thru his own mourning.

The next asshole that says they should put that whale down, needs to watch this video. If they still feel they should destroy this magnificent animal, kick their ass! As a matter of fact, I'll volunteer to do it myself! Anybody got a ticket to Florida layin' around?

Damn, just damn! This is sad! He's going to miss her somthin' fierce!
