“…swimming with captive orcas is inherently dangerous
and if someone hasn’t been killed already it is only a matter of time.”
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
Those are the words of OSHA, which believed back in 2006 that marine parks such as SeaWorld, were a disaster waiting to happen. In fact, OSHA also concluded that most trainers of killer whales were not taught IF there would be an attack, but WHEN there would be an attack. Now, less than 2 weeks after the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau at SeaWorld in Orlando, FL, who was pulled from the jaws of a killer whale after a 25 minute attack, CNN is investigating how SeaWorld was able to convince OSHA to recant their own report and allow the marine park to continue operations despite the obvious dangers to trainers and the attending patrons.
