How the hell can people suggest to destroy the whale....(1) hello it is called a KILLER whale (2) last time I checked animals do not use the same languages as humans " maybe the killer whale is a bit tired of being captive since 1991 ? " (3) but now it cannot be released in into the wild, yet all around the world millions is spent on humans that kill animals and other innocent humans.Yet animals who sometimes need to let off a little steam are always offered the instant solution.A spare $500,000 could at least be spent on this whale to be trained up to go down near Antartica and help out it's cousins by kicking some a%$# ... oh wait a minute a greenpeace guy tried that and I think ??? he is still being held captive while the NZ government sit around for $125,000 + a year to argue about wine bottles, underpants, signatures on paintings ETC ETC. They could at least send Sue Bradford down south on the front of a NZ navy vessel with arms outstretched like Kate winslet R D RRR... does NZ still have any Navy ships left ??? LOL : )

Yes I agree Katrina. Keeping whales and dolphins in tanks is so wrong. Unfortunately it is a multi-million business and will not stop until people are better educated. I would never ever pay or go free to a theme park or show of such and I encourage everyone to make the same choice.
