Why do you think that Orca whale killed that trainer in orlando

Why do you think? It was unhappy? It thought she was going to hurt him or did it think that maybe she was a seal and its instincts kicked in. or do you think he just hurt her to hurt her? I am soo so curious to know other peoples opinions :)

It's a wild animal. And I thought the Trainer was out with it at night. Regardless, it's still an animal. And it doesn't think of you as a 'friend'. It's like having a pet tiger. A whale and a tiger are different. But they're still wild. The whale was trained, so it was timid most of the time. From what I remember the trainer went out at night and swam with it. A whale IS very strong. It might have thought the trainer's jacket was a toy or something and grabbed it.

A whale isn't a human. It's intelligent to an extent. But it's not capable of deep rational thought. I doubt it thought the trainer was going to hurt it. It's like a human and a single ant. Is an ant able to hurt a human?

It really was the trainer's fault. He went out with a whale thinking it was it's friend at night. Even if it wasn't at night and was a different trainer. It was still his/her fault. You can't control the whale.

So, in my honest opinion. It was probably instinct or most likely the whale was playing with him/her.

He was an orca being an orca. Even a little bump, that would be play to an orca, could kill a human. It might have been a domination move on the part of the orca, basically a "cry uncle" fight to show who was stronger, but the human could no way get away or hold her breath that long.

Captivity has got to be making these intelligent animals bored and crazy and ready to snap, so maybe he'd just had enough. It's not like he didn't warn them (from the news articles, they say he'd killed twice before? Really? And they kept him captive?!)!

He's a wild animal, and a predator, and he was just being himself. What he did would serve him well in the wild, and it's not his fault that he has no concept of how to behave in captivity. It's very sad.

It didn't like being trapped in an aquarium and forced to do "tricks" for tourists it missed actually being in the ocean where it belongs.

It's a wild mammal and people have been playfully slapped by large whales like an Orca and been hurt by that when the animal was just being playful.

I wouldn't necessarily mean that it it was unhappy, but it means something triggered inside of the Orca.

In reality Orca's are very harmless creatures. The last time I checked an Orca never killed a human being in the wild.
