Sea World whale should be put down

I read on Feb. 24, Dawn Brancheau was killed by a killer whale at Sea World in Orlando, Fla. I believe you might be thinking the same thing when I say to myself this is absolutely ridiculous. I think before you put a whale into your "show pool" or whatever you would like to call it, you should make sure that the whale is happy and healthy. If you do not make sure of this, a terrible incident such as this may happen.

Another thing that is very unacceptable is that this is the third time this whale has killed a trainer. My question is, what are they going to do with this animal? You often hear about many animals that are put down because they cause terrible injuries or deaths. Is Sea World going to put this animal down?

Personally I think that a death consequence is very outrageous, but this incident is beyond extreme and they should probably put this whale down. They could just put it in the ocean. OK, sure they could put the whale in the ocean, but many people swim in the ocean.
