What happens to SeaWorld's Whale's when they kill a trainer?

Well obviously there are those that still live, even after killing 3, like the one there now. But what about the others that they deem, cannot perform? I know they can't be released.. but does that mean they're killed? Or are they transported to another captivity type of place for whales, just not performing? Like an aquarium?

    Nothing really happens, they are wild animals and that is just one of the dangers in working with them. The one that killed in FL last year is already performing again.

    For the most part when something like that happens the USDA, AZA, park management and a few other groups review policies and safety controls and try to learn from any accidents to hopefully prevent any additional incidents.

    Sometimes they can be moved to a different facility, sometimes not. Just depends on the sutation.

    Nothing happens.

    If they can't preform then they don't preform.

    The animal is kept and still efficiently taken care of amongst the other Orcas.

    Performance is only a small portion of the whales life.

    In SW Florida there are seven whale tanks.

    Only one of which is a Performance tank so there is plenty of room to house the animals.

    I disagree, injury could discover the whales way . Whales are well-known For being killed/Oil spills looking them. i think of if that they had someplace that The whale does no longer discover its way into injury, OR a extensive watched over section for it Then that is okay, because of the fact superb now the whale in all probability does not be attentive to the thank you to seize its very own nutrition . And The loss of existence substitute into an accident , It did no longer be attentive to any extra effective ( such as you suggested) i think of they ought to easily end the whole tutor business enterprise with Animals, Its merciless Their fed because of the fact They do tricks For leisure . BQ : I wakened at 9 . upload: or in simple terms launch it into the wild, in the event that they don't have something alongside with i discussed.

    The top killers are adorned with armor and ridden into battle. It is a high honor.
