But She Seemed Like Such A Nice Killer Whale

I just love headlines like this:

"SeaWorld's whale has history of attacks"

How could she be allowed to just roam free like that? Oh wait, she's not free at all. She's a wild animal that's been turned into a circus performer. And she's a whale, so eating things is pretty much what she does.

Bytheyby, the trainer has a broken foot. That hardly qualifies as a vicious attack by a rogue animal. Considering that the whale — also known as an "orca," bet you didn't know that — weighs 5,000 pounds and could have swallowed the guy whole, I'd say she sounds downright friendly. Maybe the headline should be:

"Gigantic caged predator shows mercy to its captor". Now, that's a story.
