KILLER WHALE is inaccurate due to the fact that they are trully dolphins. Orca is their true name.

Natural instincts... people are punished for them, as are animals. You can breed and breed, but they all will have the same instincts, even if it is buried further within them.
This species... they are born to hunt, especially pack hunt.. the "wolves" of the ocean... even known to take down the Blue Whale. I agree with them keeping him due to age and the difficulties of re-releasing him.

If it wasn't for communicational barriers, we don't know for sure the true extent of their intelligence.. my personal thoughts are that they may surpass us in ways. Was it intentional? We won't truly know, we can only analyze and guess.

Yes she did. I want to do what she did, even with the risks.

We all know the risks when working with other animals... Like I know when working with Horses.

It is our choice, we do it because we love it.
