A SeaWorld Killer Whale trainer was killed by her killer whale today. She was said to be extremely experienced and one of the best.

I'm thinking that there should be an immediate ban of all Killer Whales. After all things like this should not happen, etc.

It is an unfortunate accident, however similar to large boids, venomous herps, crocks, etc. We, the keepers know and accept our risk. I would bet that the trainer of that whale would do it all again if she had the chance. On the other hand I am 42 years old and as long as I can remember there have been Killer Whales doing shows at SeaWorld and this is only the 2nd time that I can recall that someone was killed by one.

We know our risk, it is minimal and that chances of accidents in every day life is minimal. I just bet you there will be no move to ban Killer Whale shows at SeaWorld any time soon. Makes me wonder why...
