The trainer was dragged into the water Wednesday by Tilikum. The medical examiner says she likely died of traumatic injuries and drowning.
Atchison says Tilikum will remain an "active, contributing member of the team" at SeaWorld.
Atchison says whale shows will resume Saturday. He says he's not sure how long it will be before trainers are allowed to get back in the water with the animals.
Tilikum is the only killer whale in the SeaWorld chain that the park has special handling rules for, Atchison said. The 22-foot, 12,000-pound male was involved in two earlier deaths at SeaWorld and a park in British Columbia.

Special handling rules.....
I see this pretty clearly. The bean-counters have told the Sea World
CEO that it's OK to continue the $how. It doesn't happen often enough
to think of killing our revenue....
I think this guy is setting himself up for a HUGE fall/fail. I think
it's simply a matter of time... |

I think SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment President Jim Atchison will take a fall as well.
The trouble is:
Not certain if I believe this because he actually takes a fall, or, because I want him to take a fall. There are plenty of things we want, but never get.
Believe the key is civil - not criminal - litigation. The goal is not to win the cases, but to win public opinion.
Atchison's success is directly proportional to gate receipts. As long as the public shows up, he's right as rain. |
