Shamu is Back

Posted by at 2:54 PM on Saturday, February 27, 2010

Killer whales were back in action at SeaWorld Saturday for the first time since a trainer was killed during a performance earlier this week.

More than 2,000 people turned out on the chilly, rainy day to see orcas perform at Shamu Stadium, but Tilikum - the 12,000-pound whale that killed trainer Dawn Brancheau on Wednesday - did not participate in the show.

The turnout was a fraction of the normal Saturday crowd, which can be as many as 6,000 people, and whales and trainers didn't have their usual contact and playfulness during the 20-minute show.

"I really missed seeing the interaction with the whales," said Cathy Rosenstein, a season ticket holder who lives nearby.

"Usually they're right there with them, but today they were at a distance."

"My son is five, and he wants to be a whale trainer," she said with tears in her eyes.

"This is a very bad experience for him, but all the trainers know the risks."

A brief video tribute to Brancheau, 40, played before the show began, then a group of trainers appeared before the audience, who gave them a standing ovation.

"She died doing what she loved," said Robert Capua, who drove two hours with his wife and three sons to see the show. The Capuas had tickets to Saturday's show long before this week's accident and did not hesitate to attend.

"My boys are first-timers at SeaWorld," Capua said.

"We weren't going to miss it."

About a dozen members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals protested outside SeaWorld as park visitors arrived Saturday morning. They held signs with slogans like "Free Willie."

"These animals are suffering horribly, living in these tanks," said PETA spokesman Bryan Wilson.

"We hope this is the last death we will have to see, but as long as these animals are living stressful lives at parks like SeaWorld, it's just a matter of time time before it happens again."
