...maybe that's the reason for the attack. This was not the first attack that resulted in death or near death for that matter. I wonder how many law suits will be filed by traumatized audience members, particularly parents of children. They don't have any warning signs posted that they may witness an attack or killing but SeaWorld knew Tilly had a history of violence. In fact, it is my understanding that one of the terms of his sale to SeaWorld was that he not be placed in shows.
IMO
IMO just like trainers know the risk of attack, people who go to SeaWorld should also know that there is risk of an attack between an orca and a human. Attacks have happened before.
That's like saying audience members at other types of entertainment shows where accidents happen should or could sue.
Here are some examples...
1) at a race where a driver hit a wall and died
2) at a rodeo where a bullrider was killed by a bull
3) at an air show where 2 planes collided in mid air and killed the pilots
4) at a baseball game where a person is hit in the head with a foul ball and dies.
I mean, the list could go on and on. And I'm sure the people who witnessed those things were traumatized too.
As far as the fact Tili was not to be placed in shows, I think what was meant by that was not in shows where the trainers were in the water with him. Like swimming with him. This trainer made a mistake and got too close.
