They are called "killer whales" because they literally kill whales. Regardless, it's Seaworld officials who should be stoned for thinking its okay to put large, powerful migratory animals in kiddie pools and forcing them to perform tricks.

The possibility of instinct overwhelming the training is always a distinct possibility, which every handler knows.

I love what you do in fighting the good fight for Atheism, but going with the sensationalist flow does not help the cause. If you had read the article, you would have seen that he was not calling for an actual stoning. Misinterpretation (or simply trusting in some other idjit's interpretation), without reading the story is something I'd expect of Republicans, not you. Oh, wait, you admitted to being a Republican. Let me rephrase ... It's something I'd expect of the moronic mainstream media, not you. Damn it, Dave!
