Throughout the remainder of the '60s, Shamu starred in a variety of SeaWorld stage productions including the smash comedy, "Killing, eh, It's a Living". Shamu was killed on August 23, 1971 in a three car crash on the Santa Monica freeway. There are various versions of how the wreck occurred but what is known is Shamu's Porsche 911T was traveling at a high rate of speed when it collided with two other vehicles.
    Nope! ain't believing any of it of it I saw Shamu in Orlando when I was 13. Lets see that was in.....1986 I guess!

    Yes Shamu the "Original" whale died after living in captivity for 6 years of an infection in the blood. There have been 51 shamu's since the original died.

    anybody else seen "Natural Born Killers" with Woody Harrelson? This reminds me of part of that movie where they wander into an Indian's teepee and he tells them this story:

    Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, bi***, you knew I was a snake."
    Wild things have no place in domestication. It's called a Killer Whale for a reason.. I mean, would you swim with anyone who's first name was "murderer"?
    Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

    Apparently, it grabbed her pony tail and pulled her in. It might have thought it was playing. It saw it dangling around and just grabbed it. Anyway, they are supposed to reopen the exhibit...I think they said Monday.

    They should be set free. This is ridiculous and inhumane.
    We don't need these animals caged and forced to perform circus tricks for our amusement. There's
    morning news for that.
