Let me first say that I think its awful what happened to the trainer at Sea World and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. I think there is a lesson to be learned here about dealing with animals. I think most of us are guilty of dropping our guard at times around our wards even though most could do each of us in with one move. Maybe this tragedy can be used as a reminder. But I'm not shocked in the least. I learned my lesson years ago when I tried to feed and elephant and was nearly pulled between the bars and made into pasta. What does amaze me - though it shouldn't - is how the morning news was treating this tragedy. Debating whether or not the death of this lady by the orca was "premeditated". Premeditated? I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether or not you think an animal is able reason enough to commit a premeditated murder.
