Of a killer whale and a hapless whale trainer

There are some lessons you can get from the recent killing of a whale trainer by a killer whale. The tragic incident happened at Seaworld. The number  one lesson is that animals are out to get us. All they want to do is kill us. And it is apt that these whales are named as killers. That’s the right name for these killers, masquerading as whales. The killer whale in question was Tilikum and the hapless whale trainer was Dawn Brancheau. She was gently fondling Tilikum, when the killer whale just snatched Dawn in her jaws and pulled her underwater. It all happened so suddenly that the Dawn was taken by absolute surprise, as were all the horror stricken visitors are Seaworld. Dawn drowned to death, right before everyone’s unbelieving eyes.

It seems Dawn was Tilikum’s third victim. Its second victim was a man by the name of David Dukes. Dukes was a man who was quite obsessed with creator of the game Ultima, Richard Garriott. Dukes had once broken into Garriott’s house and had to be taken out by the police. It seems a few years later, Dukes went into Tilikum’s tank in Seaworld, and was found torn to pieces at the jaws of killer whale Tilikum. You don’t mess with a killer whale and come back unscathed, do you?
