SeaWorld Shuts Down Shamu's Twitter Feed (yes, the killer whale)

Of course if any one of these animals could actually tweet, they would say "I am sick and miserable and slowly going insane in this small puddle, please let me out". But they cant tweet, so the only way they can communicate their displeasure is by dying early or killing one of their trainers.

FYI, SeaWorld uses the word 'Shamu' as a synonym for orca / killer whale. Shamu is not any specific orca. The specific orca in this case was Tilikum.

The last entries before they shut it down:<p><pre><code> @shamu: Someone's come into the enclosure with a weird looking gun. - 2 minutes ago @shamu: I warned them when I came here. The clue's in my name. Killer Whale. The first word specifically. - 1 day ago @shamu: I messed up today. Killed one of my best friends but my instincts got the better of me :o( - 3 days ago @shamu: Shit, I'm in big trouble. - 3 days ago</code></pre>

SeaWorld should really be ashamed of themselves. Which is more important: profits, or human lives?

still resting off the good pr laurels of free willy...
