Stone To Death Killer Whale Who Killed Trainer
Posted: Mar 4, 2010
The American Family Association, a religious right group, is urging that Tillikum (Tilly), the killer whale that killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando, be put down, preferably by stoning. Citing Tilly's history of violent altercations, the group is slamming SeaWorld for not listening to Scripture in how to deal with the animal:
Says the ancient civil code of Israel, "When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable." (Exodus 21:28)
However, the group is going further and laying the blame for the trainer's death directly at the feet of Chuck Thompson, the curator in charge of animal behavior, because, according to Scripture,
But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn't kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, "the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." (Exodus 21:29)
SeaWorld has no plans to execute Tilly.

There's a difference between an ox and a whale. - deb
[ In Reply To ..]Especially when a whale is being held in captivity and is not in its natural habitat.
The Bible says so many things, I wonder why the religious zealots only choose the things in there that they agree with, and disregard the rest?
imprisoning animals in zoos and entertainment - free all animals
[ In Reply To ..]parks, and train them to "perform" should be FORBIDDEN and criminally prosecuted.
The crime starts right here!
Free all animals !!!!
No wonder that they go berserk!
This is torture!
Unfortunately, because of the brutality of the human species . . . - Really?
[ In Reply To ..]the only chance for survival and reproduction for many beautiful creatures is captivity. Tilli did not exhibit "killer" instinct or viciousness in this horrible accident. He evidently mistook his trainer's ponytail for a "toy". She was growing it out to donate to Locks of Love. He was very much loved and care for by his trainer and reportedly reciprocated that love. She would never have wanted him "exposed" of.
yes, true, the trainer SHOULD have known that - Tilli
[ In Reply To ..]Tilli might mistake her wiggle-waggle ponytail as a toy. The trainer should have covered it under a cap like they usually do! Her fault, Tilli is innocent.
Whew! For a minute I was afraid we had run - out of loonies.
[ In Reply To ..]I guess we're all crazy in some way. Me, I'm nuts for Michael Buble.
Religious hypocrites make me puke - I'm on the whale's side - smokethis
[ In Reply To ..]What a sick society we live in!
Mankind is the only ANIMAL that kills its own kind for revenge and financial gain...
In this case, we took a wild animal out of its environment and put it in an tiny container and forced it into unnatural acts in order to "entertain" FOR MONEY - and then we are shocked when it "revolts"?
The humans who support this nonsense are just as wrong as the CORPORATIONS raking in the $
As to those calling for revenge killing: Isn't it time we stood up to those who purport to know God/Jesus but are so willing to spill blood at the drop of a hat?
