    SeaWorld park to redesign controversial whale tank

    BBC

    US marine theme park SeaWorld has announced it is to build a bigger tank for its killer whales, amid criticism of its treatment of the animals.



    But the Florida company said that the plans were not in response to last year's documentary film "Blackfish".

    The film suggested that captivity and SeaWorld's treatment provoked violent behaviour in the killer whales.

    The high profile death of a trainer in front of a live audience in 2010 sparked worldwide outrage.

    SeaWorld CEO Jim Atchinson said in a statement on Friday that the new tank, to be completed by 2018, would "transform how visitors experience killer whales".

                  Tilikum killed a trainer in Victoria in '91. It was horrible, and thankfully I got my son out fast enough that he didn't even realize what was happening...

                                          If you think teaching literacy skills to young adults with complex physical disabilities is useless...frankly, I think it's awesome that my one-on-one student can now read the texts her sister sends her...

                                              Well it's not like they're called docile submissive whales or anything.

                                                  Have you interacted with them in the wild? I have...They are NOT killers, and there has never been a human killed by one in the wild...

                                                  "Killer whale" is such a silly nick-name for these giants...

                                                      No, but I've seen 'em eat the fuck out of a seal!



                                                      MMMM, lunch!

                                                          I love watching footage of them going after seals. Amazing hunters.

                                                          I've seen the shows in the aquariums. Loved them when I was a kid and didn't know better.

                                                          There's nothing like seeing them in the open ocean though. Straight dorsal fins and all! Granted, if you're in a small boat, it's terrifying...they create quite a wake when they breach!

                                                          Sigh...I miss the Coast...
