It's a win-win! They get a whole new type of crowd waiting on the edge of their seats to see if the wale eats another trainer and the whale gets a chance at another trainer snack! Wonder if the whale will want fries with that?

SeaWorld's Killer Whale Shows Will Go On

(Feb. 26)--SeaWorld will resume its public Killing Whale performances on Saturday, just three days after they were suspended due to a fatal whale attack on a trainer in front of a live audience at the Orlando park. But the company will not be allowing trainers at any of its three U.S. locations into the water with those animals, pending the results of multiple investigations into Wednesday's deadly incident, SeaWorld President Jim Atchison announced.

"We will only resume in-water interactions with our killer whales after the review is complete and we have implemented any changes in procedure we feel will ensure the safety of our trainer staff," said Atchison, reading prepared remarks during a brief press conference in Orlando on Friday.

Several killer whales could be seen swimming around in the tank behind Atchison as he concluded with a statement from victim Dawn Brancheau's family requesting privacy. A charitable foundation bearing her name is being created "to support the causes she was so passionate about," Atchison said.

In response to questions about the fitness and fate of Tilikum, the six-ton orca that was responsible for Brancheau's death and involved in the deaths of two other people in 1991 and 1999, Atchison was adamant in his defense.

"Tilikum is an important part of our overall team," Atchison maintained. "Those [previous] incidents and the nature of them had nothing to do with the nature of this event. They are not relevant to this particular altercation."

CNN reports that the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service are spearheading the investigation into Brancheau's death.

Atchinson said SeaWorld also had "initiated a thorough review of all the procedures that guide interactions with killer whales and have reached out to several colleagues from other marine mammal facilities to take part." He named six colleagues from the marine mammal programs at Dolphin Quest, Georgia Aquarium, Dolphin Connection, Marineland Niagara Falls, Miami Seaquarium and the U.S. Navy.

Earlier on Friday, a spectator's amateur video of Brancheau interacting with Tilikum moments before the attack began circulating widely around the Internet. Wednesday's incident has drawn international attention and fueled an already longstanding debate over the practice of keeping orcas and other large marine animals in captivity.
