As we all have probably heard, a killer whale killed a trainer at sea world. This is said to be a tragic accident. The whale is reported to have grabbed the trainer by her ponytail and pull her into the pool. This is not the first time there have been deaths related to this whale. There have been two other deaths relating to the whale. In 1991 he pulled in another trainer, and in 1999 a man was found floating in his tank "the apparent victim of a whale's 'horseplay'"(CNN). People have to remember that this is a 12,000 pound animal, and no matter how emotionally attached they get to it, it's still a wild animal that can kill. A while ago there was a man who lived with grizzly bears and thought he became friends with them. In the end the bears ate him and his girlfriend, then a movie was made about it. That example goes to show that even though that people love the animals, they can still kill you.
