Truth in Advertising



The fatal attack of a killer whale on its trainer at SeaWorld in Orlando stunned the crowd gathered to watch what they thought would be an entertaining show. But, the tragedy does not come as a surprise to biologists at the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society in Plymouth.
No shit. As a friend commented, "They're killer whales.  It's on the label!"

Listen, I know they can't all be in good taste but this stuff has to be documented.  It's for science.

Shark feeding questioned after attack


Ask any shark diver why they do it and the answer is quick and simple — the thrill... But some say the search for a thrill has gone too far: baiting the water with bloody fish parts and getting face-to-face to the most aggressive species without cages or protective gear. An Austrian tourist on this kind of dive was fatally bitten by a shark this week.

Bans on feeding sharks in Florida and federal waters have pushed some shark diving companies to the Bahamas, about 50 miles off the coast, where 49-year-old Austrian lawyer Markus Groh's tour took him Sunday. He was bitten on the leg and died a day later.

Critics liken the practice to feeding bears or any other wild predator, and say the more contact sharks have with people, the more likely they are to attack.

No shit! Same thing applies to squirrels in the park too. They may look cute, but beware!
