They belong in the oceans not in captivity,same with all other cetaceans.

It's sad that shes dead but i cant help thinking of all the poor kids who will be left traumatized after this.

The trainers know there are risks etc and i feel for her family too but the fact that this same whale has history of people dying near it i think it really irresponsible for them to use it shows

I have just heard on the news that Animal Welfare organizations in America have said that problems are more likely as long as whales are kept in something no bigger than the equivalent of a bath tub.

Yea Brisket saw an ariel photo of their  pool areas,totally inadequate.I hate shows like that  they should be banned.As I said earlier,these are ocean travellers,to keep them  in a  stupid pool area is cruel

Indeed! It's a dangerous business taking animals from their normal homelands and sticking 'em in a show for people's entertainment.
