Three days after trainer Dawn Brancheau was attacked and killed Tilikum, a 12,000 pound killer whale, Sea World reopened their whale show on Saturday. Jim Atchison, President and CEO Seaworld Parks & Entertainment, stated a press conference held late last week that Tilikum would remain an active participant in Sea World shows, despite having attacked and killed three other people.
Today we asked our contributors if they think it's too early after the death of Dawn Brancheau for Sea World to resume killer whale shows and if they you believe Sea World is jeopardizing the safety of it's employees by allowing Tilikum to continue performing in shows. After reading their opinions, join the conversation by leaving a comment.
