I have ALWAYS had a whale phobia. Always.
I loved Tom Hank's "Castaway," but was terrified at the scene with the whale's eye by his raft.
So, this Seaworld killer whale has now been involved in 3 human deaths. I know you don't necessarily put down an animal for doing what it naturally and instinctively does, but damn. Trainers weren't supposed to go in the water with him (and we now see why) so they clearly have changed their behavior for this deadly creature.
ETA: 12,000 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
