an orca whale killed a human

i feel bad for the human, but i am surprised that people are confused why the whale did this

‘why did a whale kill a human?’ ‘i don't get it’

‘["killer whale shows" at sea world] will not resume until trainers understand what happened’ (AP)

i hope this questioning will eventually lead to, ‘whales don't like being kept captive’

it made me think me of this video (8:46 to end) of an elephant at a circus who breaks out and gets shot repeatedly in the street, and a woman is yelling 'fucking animals' and the elephant falls onto a car and dies

i feel bad that humans get hurt in these situations, but i hope people think about what the cause probably is: nonhuman animals are resisting confinement and forced labor

whales at seaworld are used as someone else's tool. as the AP article describes, trainers ‘ride on their backs and jump off them’

in the article i read, they discuss calls to 'destroy' 'the creature'
