Different era, terrifying video. fast forward to today. so, why did this killer whale attack a trainer? why was it there in the first place when it has killed before? and is it really time maybe to consider having huge, unpredictable animals still performing in front of audiences? we spoke earlier with jack hanna who is director emeritus of the columbia zoo. we just assume these animals are domesticated. they are entertainment. but really, this is an 11,000-pound, 22-foot whale. should we be sur...

Shows with a lot of other animals, i would want my work to continue if something happened. is it a dangerous animal? of course, it is called a killer whale. you film in glacier bay, alaska, or killer whales in south america and you see these animals coming up on the beach, they can go up on the beach 10, 15 yards to grab a sea lion and bring them back in the water. and also, you know, i dont know what happened, okay, but i can tell you about 95% of the time when something like this happens, with...
