As a trainer I am concerned for the well being of the whales and do whatever I can to maintain a safe environment for them and for all of us trainers. As trainers we are required to follow all safety procedures. It is only fair that we are informed with of any previous attacks and violent behavior from the whales. This will help us determine how to approach the whale and how to act around them. I represent the safety of the trainers, myself, and the whales. It is important that everything goes smoothly and safely when the whales and trainers are preforming. If we are not informed of previous attacks against trainers, we are unaware of what the what is capable of doing and we won't be able to identify certain behaviors. At SeaWorld, we are aware that these whales are captured and ay suffer from separation anxiety from their families. This contributes greatly to the whales' behavior and perhaps can trigger violent actions against us trainers. It is our responsibility to guarantee safety witting the whale-trainer community at SeaWorld.
