TOPICS Religious Right.

Christian Right Organization's Answer To Tilikum The Killer Whale? Stone Him. Seriously.

By Nicole Belle Thursday Mar 04, 2010 7:00am

The American Family Association, a religious right group, is urging that Tilikum (Tilly), the killer whale that killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando, be put down, preferably by stoning. Citing Tilly's history of violent altercations, the group is slamming SeaWorld for not listening to Scripture in how to deal with the animal:

Says the ancient civil code of Israel, "When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable." (Exodus 21:28)

I'm still wrapping my head around how exactly this stoning would go. Setting aside the strange analogy to an ox, do they trap Tilly in some small tank, so he can't swim out of the way? Just how heavy are these stones that could kill an orca? Should SeaWorld sell tickets to this? Will just one really prolific rock thrower do, or do we need an army (after all this is a whale we're talking about)? Would it be Tilly's trainers that are supposed to do the stoning or is the American Family Association offering to help?

This group is just another wacko bunch. 'Stoning' a whale! :wko:

Actually, I'm not against putting down a creature that has a record of attacking humans, but what danger is there to humans from this whale? How about just turning it loose.... as it should be?
