This is the THIRD time a human has perished in the presence of Tilikum (sp?) (1991, 1999, and now). He has had several people and organizations write to SeaWorld and the place he was at before to request/demand that he not be shown and displayed and/or be released back into the wild.

While I certainly don't think he should be put down, I do believe that they should cut their losses (since he's a well-used stud male) and release him back into the wild.
