Some inappropriate language warning kGEv5dC0lo4 tryfuhl 02-24-2010, 04:37 PM So the whale has killed 2 people, but yet they keep it there?? time to get my harpoon...I kind of worded the title confusingly The other victim was in 1991 in a park in British Columbia ArtMonkDrillz 02-24-2010, 04:42 PM So the Japanese from the Whale Wars episode of South Park had it right. mredskins 02-24-2010, 04:46 PM Sounds like that whale was into some kinky stuff. Sold to SeaWorld as a stud in 1992, the whale was involved in a second incident when authorities discovered the body of a naked man lying across his back in July 1999. Aparently that naked guy was in the park after hours and went swimming in the water with the KW. Man I would never do that! I have had a nightmare all my life of swimming in one of those tanks at night and a KW getting me, scary shit! cpayne5 02-24-2010, 04:51 PM I was just there on Friday. edit- We know a girl who is a trainer/intern there. Here's one of her pics of the whale that killed the trainer. 12k pounds, 22.5 feet long. He's the largest whale they have there. http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs079.snc3/14638_605773802593_31206325_35394930_3180515_n.jpg saden1 02-24-2010, 04:58 PM What part of the word KILLER is confusing? I forgive the whale, it was having a bad day. mooby 02-24-2010, 05:02 PM What part of the word KILLER is confusing? I forgive the whale, it was having a bad day. That "kill" part that's associated with violence and death? And yeah you should kinda know what you're getting into with a killer whale.
