I love animals and animal shows. And since I live in San Diego I have been to Sea World and watched the Shamu shows many times. I have had mixed feelings when the experts oppose having these lovely mammals performing. While watching the entertainment the whales seem so gentle. But we forget they are large, wild animals with the ability to kill. And kill one did recently.
 
A 40 year old female trainer was killed by a infamous whale that has three slaying under his flippers. Tilikum ( which means friend) has killed before. I have a real problem with this. Yes I know that Sea World has invested thousands of dollars in this animal but what is a human life worth?
 
It is now time for Sea World to cut their loses on this one animal if not its whole killer whale program. Not one more trainer should be in harms way for entertainment.

A well renowned chef in Italy thought it was OK to share with his watchers that cat stew was a delicious dish. He went on to impart that during the war poor people ate this wonderful dish. I am not a cat lover but I would not eat one. If meat became scarce [...]

I am so sick of the Tiger Woods debacle I could spit. This angelic face golfer has done nothing more than most men some to a lesser and maybe some to a greater level. With all the media coverage you would think he had invented a way to cure all the major [...]
