Oregon Becomes the 29th State to Ban Dangerous Wild Animals as Pets
Born Free USA applauds the Oregon legislature for passing much needed reforms to its excising restrictions on the keeping of wild and exotic animals as pets. Oregon becomes the 29th state to prohibit the most dangerous animals in private hands.
Innocent Killer?
According to eyewitnesses, as spectators watched, an orca (the largest member of the dolphin family) named Tillikum at SeaWorld Orlando grabbed his trainer and pulled her under the water. In a statement issued by SeaWorld, the trainer, who had 14 years experience training captive orca and dolphins, “drowned.”
This is the third time that Tillikum, whose stage name at SeaWorld is Shamu, has caused a fatality after nearly three decades in captivity.
Killer Whale Kills Trainer at Orlando’s SeaWorld
Wednesday’s death of an orca trainer by Shamu was not an accident — it was an accident waiting to happen. American lives are put at risk in the name of entertainment. There is zero conservation or education value to killer whales performing stunts in captivity. Born Free USA believes that wildlife belongs in the wild. The only question is how many captive wild animal attacks have to happen before our citizens stop attending such events and legislators work to close down these dangerous animal acts.
Vote in the New York Daily News poll if whales should be kept in captivity.
