Lol, I got to give them props for such a ridiculous demand. :lmfao:

QuoteThe American Family Association, a religious right group, is urging that Tillikum (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)
However, the group is going further and laying the blame for the trainer's death directly at the feet of Chuck Thompson, the curator in charge of animal behavior, because, according to Scripture,
But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn't kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, "the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." (Exodus 21:29)
SeaWorld has no plans to execute Tilly.
Ok after stuff like this, you guys have no right to ever laugh at the bunch of Polish freaks that wanted to make Jesus the King of Poland - your religious freaks are crazier. :D
Incidentally, I sometimes wonder whether groups like AFA actually are full of sleeper liberal, gay and feminist activists. I mean nothing shows how ridiculous it is, for example, to base the modern stance on gay rights on Leviticus than demands like this.
Martinus:
Tough on religious fundamentalism.
Tough on gun possession.
Soft on killer whales.
At this point, the animal should either be put down or released into the ocean; it obviously doesn't play well with people.

I don't think it's unreasonable to demand that the animal be put down, though the method of course is unreasonable.
Nor is it unreasonable to argue that Seaworld should held responsible for knowingly keeping a dangerous animal, though of course calling for people to be executed is unreasonable.

That would be a lot of stones.

:lol: Indeed.
I am sure exactly how you would stone a whale though. If it was in the water it would be pretty hard to hit, especially hard enough to do any damage. If it was on land, wouldn't die of something else before you could stone it to death?

Not really. You only need the one stone, a central plaza in which to carry out the stoning, and forty minutes or so of time.

Actually, it would have to be many stones to fill up the tank before the whale is even in range of been hit. ;)

Actually, the one stone breaks the glass on the tank, the water drains out into the plaza, and the whale overheats and dies.
It would be entertaining to watch these people gathered around his tank and attempting to stone him to death.
I wonder if he'd get some of them, once he realized they were trying to harm him. ;)

If you could break the tank, yes, that would work.
The one stone could also, with a very precise throw, block the whale blow hole.
One stone could crush his skull, given sufficient size and velocity.
Or it could just be a very large stone, dropped from crane.

But thorough. And final. Kind of a final solution of the whale question.

without killing them. Killing random people so people will be executed is unreasonable, but it is not unreasonable to kill some people so they will be executed.
