SeaWorld Inside stories After Killer Whale Attack Part 2 You could tell it was not part of the show. I dont know why he'd do that, bite the trainer. It was just a tragedy." Kasatka, the killer whale, grabbed trainer Ken Peters foot and dragged him under water twice.a very good relationship with Kasatka. Nevertheless, the whale pinned Peters, who stated the whale laid me on the bottom of the pool I went limp. Also we learned this was not their first uncomfortable encounter. She tried to bite once before in 1999, according to SeaWorld documents. With these concerns and information, it is time decided to look deeper into the delicate balance between the whales and marine parks. The seven-month long investigation sparked an interest in another serious accident involving a trainer at SeaWorld, in 1987. Video footage showed Orky the killer whale slamming down John Allen Sillick, breaking his bones and crushing his insides. The accident sparked a lawsuit, but it was not whatwe found in the lawsuit that was intriguing but what was missing. The lawyers for a previous owner of SeaWorld, Harcourt and Brace, had cleared the courtroom during any discussions of Orkys health, medications, and physical limitations. Then, they managed to convince the judge to seal those parts of the records from public view, forever. . I have no idea why that case was sealed or who requested it. I cant comment on it, said Brad Andrews, Vice President of Zoological Operations with Busch Entertainment. The judges remarks were not sealed and provided tantalizing clues. They revealed 20-year-old Orky was not a healthy whale. He was partially blind and had visual limitations not told (to trainer). Additionally, the whale had limited ability to jump. A year after he crushed Sillick, Orky died from acute pneumonia, chronic wasting." Its just inappropriate to catch these large animals that are free swimming over a huge range and put them into a little tank, said marine biologist Ken Balcomb. Balcomb runs the Center for Whale Research in Friday Harbour, Washington. Balcomb said whales in the wild swim up to 75 miles a day, not possible in captivity. He said the whales suffer mental and physical strain. However, SeaWorld disagreed. Andrews said, We have over 7 million gallons in our facilities habitats. The animals do very well there. SeaWorld points to a killer whale named Corky as its success story. At 40, Corky is SeaWorlds longest-living whale in captivity. Andrews said that is longer than many whales live in the wild. A recent study just published shows that the mean longevity of females being 39, and males being 19, said Andrews. But Balcomb said Corky is really just middle-aged and that female whales in the wild routinely live 80 years based on his research of the whales in Puget Sound. "We have 3 pods, currently there are 86 whales in the population, said Balcomb. Balcombs center has identified and photographed each whale based on their distinctive dorsal fin since 1976. One example is J-8, a female whale first photographed in the mid 1960s, the 70s and 2005. J-8 is still alive today and is at least 65 years old. SeaWorld trainers love their jobs and decline to be interviewed by 10News. However, even they admitted the whales are under stress in a Cal/OSHA investigation of the November attack. SeaWorld successfully argued that Cal/OSHA was not qualified to draw conclusions about marine mammals and the report was killed, but not before 10News acquired the entire document. Cal/OSHA is qualified to talk about work safety issues. Cal/OSHA asked SeaWorld trainers about the possible cause of Kasatkas attack and one trainer said, Too many interactions or shows? Dont ask so much from trainers and whales? Another trainer said, I think reductions in extra activities will reduce stress on animals and trainers. The trainer who was attacked said, Weve had some aggression (from whales) before. They are not 100 percent predictable. We train for (incidents); its not if but when. Andrews said the trainers were misinformed. There are adequate precautions with the animals we work with. We have a long history of being as safe as we can with these animals, said Andrews. There is oversight of the marine industry as the United State Department of Agriculture does unannounced visits, according to SeaWorld. They show up two or three times a year, inspect the parks. We do very well in these inspections, said Andrews. we also asked for the inspection reports from the USDA and received four reports from the last five years, with only minor problems. As for the November attack, Cal/OSHA has closed its investigation and no new report was issued. Kasatka was back to performing the very next day following the incident.

SeaWorld Inside stories After Killer Whale Attack Part 1 SAN DIEGO -- SeaWorld is a San Diego landmark, a cheerfully choreographed and skillfully marketed celebration of the sea. Millions of visitors -- locals and tourists -- know very little about an industry built on the capture of killer whales, dolphins and other sea creatures. Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research said, I would describe the whole captive industry as being very secretive. the killer whale, the centerpiece of a billion-dollar business, and the man who started it all, killer whale hunter Ted Griffin, the man who captured the first Shamu. Whales die in the hunt, that's true, said whale hunter Ted Griffin. In 1965, in the water alongside Seattles Pier 56, was the first ever killer whale performing show. It was the precursor to the Shamu success. The star of the show was a 20-year-old Orca named Namu. Griffin captured Namu, trained him, rode him and showed people for the first time that killer whales were not evil but wonderful, intelligent mammals. Griffin caught Shamu later that same year. Griffin took film of the original Shamu to San Diego. At first, he leased the whale to SeaWorld, he said, because the park was afraid the whale would not survive for long. However, when Shamu became an instant hit, SeaWorld bought her outright for $100,000. I was interested in the whales and interested in making a good profit on selling the whales, said Griffin. Griffin made no apologies about the whales that died in the hunt, including Shamus mother. Griffin shot her with a harpoon and she drowned. SeaWorlds current owners, who had no involvement, said it is a sad, ancient history. Brad Andrews, Vice President of Zoological Operations with Busch Entertainment said, I am not even aware of the stories told back then and the validity of them, so I cant comment on something that happened that long ago. Griffin was also blunt about the cover-ups that were orchestrated by himself and his hunting partner, Don Goldsberry. Goldsberry ended up working for SeaWorld, assigned to bring whales to the park. He was eventually barred from Washington waters because he hunted killer whales with explosives. "If I have dead whales, I'm going to conceal it from the public, which is what I did, said Griffin. Griffin admitted at one time he and Goldsberry herded three full families of whales into a cove in Puget Sound, trapping them in nets. Three young whales and one adult tangled in the nets and drowned. "I have 4 dead whales, what am I going to do with them? said Griffin. What Griffin and Goldsberry did is well-documented. Balcomb said, They hired divers to slit open the bellies, fill them with rocks, put anchors around their tails, and sank them at night." Balcomb runs the Center for Whale Research in Puget Sound where 49 whales were taken from the wild population. "There's only 1 left, Lolita in the Miami Seaquarium. Basically, they've all died in captivity, said Kelley Balcomb-Bartok of the Center for Whale Research. Records from the center showed the whales died from pneumonia, drowning and infections. SeaWorlds original Shamu died from an infection of her blood and uterus after living 6 years in captivity. She was the first of 51 Shamus. Todays SeaWorld is a much-improved and healthier place for the whales. Andrews said, Whats really changed over the years are the husbandry techniques, the veterinary care, just like the evolution of modern medicine for people. That first Shamus legacy is the park today -- the largest and most successful in the world. Andrews said SeaWorld has always been a healthy place for whales, but some documents had found and tell another story. Tags: SeaWorld Investigation After Killer Whale Attack News |
