Accomplished trainer Alexis was instrumental in leading the marine mammals in rehearsals for an upcoming festive show.
The 29-year-old is said to have attempted to perform a stand-on spy hop, where he balances on the killer whale's rostrum as it rises up and out of the water.But he took a tumble as Keto leaned to one side, before trying the stunt again - when he again fell into the water. However, Keto had dived too deep into the 12-metre pool - forcing his trainer to abandon the move in the depths of the water.The 29-year-old then waited for the animal to calm and requested a stage call via underwater tone.Rafael SanchezHis colleague Brian suggested that Keto did not appear "committed to remaining under control" and looked "a little big-eyed".
Orca Ocean assistant supervisor Rafael Sanchez, in his testimony to investigators, said: "The animal in question moved towards him and hit him and violently played with his body." The 29-year-old had blood streaming from his nose and mouth while his colleagues hopelessly tried to revive him.
He's probably pissed off at being cooped up in a small tank instead of out in the wild so I'd say the trainer deserved it for keeping the animal caged.
Good!
It's kind of in the name....Orca or Killer Whale.... It's still a wild animal, even if kept in captivity.....
And
Send them to the moon
Shouldn’t be in captivity in the first place. 😡
Orcas aren't toys!!!
Good
