>>Given the history of this animal, it should one way or another be removed from human contact.

I pretty much agree with this statement, but this doesn't mean that kill or release are the only options. Zoos keep lions and tigers and hippos for years without incident, for instance. IMHO the problem here was that they were treating this orca as though he was a "normal" captive orca -- which he is obviously not. Instead, they need to treat him like a lion or tiger -- a known danger. They were not taking sufficient precautions given his past history. You can bet they'll be taking more precautions now!
