I work in a similar type of park in a training department. These animals are NOT wild. They are far from it. The argument "these are wild animals, I'm not suprised" is typical of someone whom has absolutely no experience in training.

Okay, so maybe not "pissed off" or "bored", but I have a hard time buying the argument that captivity has no bearing on a whale's behaviour, considering they've evolved to naturally swim however many kilometers in a typical ocean day.
So if it's not wild, but also not "trained" (evidently... it killed someone), then what is it, exactly?
