Trainer killed at Seaworld, Orlando

While I respect your opinion Gwennie I don't think this is the time or thread for it.

Sea World is EVIL and should NOT EXIST! Why on EARTH would you think of putting a WHALE in a ZOO? If you want to learn about an animal, go on the internet. That's what it's for. Sorry, but I have a real problem with zoos in general. I think they are horrible and should not exist. People claim that "thanks to zoos, many animals have been saved from endangerment." I think that's a bunch of hooey and animals should be left alone in the wild and protected in national parks. If they become extinct, that's just natural selection. I personally think we should conserve as much land (and water) as possible, before it's too late. Urban density, Americans! It's coming!

Many people may agree with this statement but I really don't feel this is the place to voice opinion as it is a thread for people to send they thoughts to the family and friend of the poor woman that has sadly lost her life doing something she loved.

No words...just true sadness.

I'm 99.9% sure that she is the lady we saw performing at Seaworld.

My thoughts are with her family

Did she perform in 'Believe'?

Did she perform in 'Believe'?

She did Josh, yes. More recently she did a lot of the Dine with Shamu. Dawn was at SW for years and performed in all of the Shamu shows at some stage.

How horrible and devastating.

May she rest in peace.
