i am sorry for you lose
R.I.P Dawn you didn’t deserve this.
Sorry for your family.
that sucks she was killed by a whale that why they call them killer whales
I’m so sorry, such a sad way to die.
What a horrible way to go—Rest in peace..
a great loss
you will be missed
So very sorry for your tragic loss. She was such a young bright girl with her whole future ahead of her. When such tragedies happen we all wonder, Why? No family should have to go through such pain and sorrow. May it comfort you to know that this was never God’s purpose for us, and one day soon he promises that such tragedies will be a thing of the past. My son also died when he was just 29, but i know I will see him again as long as I do the will of our heavenly father, Jehovah, and follow in the footsteps of the Christ who left a model for us to follow. If we do those things then we are gurranteed to see our children again. Daniel 12:2 promises that there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up. Also Isaiah 25:8 promises that Jehovah, the Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever and certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” May your family find much comfort and strength from these wonderful promises, and I invite you to contact me on my e-mail address so that we can further discuss God’s purpose. May you be blessed.
Despite significant research on the whale species, remember ALWAYS what they represent. The are wild and trained to be domestic. They are wild first, domestic second. It is their instinct to hunt, predate and kill. Humans are no exception per se. This is a tragic loss but one of great risk … this species is to be revered not treated as a domestic pet in a hugh swimming pool to be gawked at. That, in fact, is exactly what occurs every show. It is quite unfortunate for the trainer and the whale. The practice should cease and desist.
did the whale kill her RIP
First i would like to say what did you people expect me to do??? i am a killer whale yes a muderer by nature. the fact that i whacked this idiot douche bag makes me happy!! for the love of christ peolple!! i am actually in the porpoise family and not a whale at all!! thats like caller a white man a nigger!! this dumb cunt would break my balls everyday with that fucking whistle and some stupid fish. after years of being in a shitty tank with some faggot other whales i lost it. in the wild my territory would be thousands of miles. in this goldy pisswater tank i get maybe 400 fett of shit water. then that idiot fag that gives out a wooden whales tale made by gooks shackeled to a floor in vietnam blows my mind. i mean really half the fucking show is selling those idiotic things. what a piece of shit. anyways long story short this cunt was busting my chops. hey fuck her im a killer whale and my friends respect me for it. what are they gonna do to punish me. put me in a shitty tank and make me do tricks for obese tourists. hmmmmmmm!!!
i wish u an d ur family the best of luck
you got a big o head
you got a big o head haha
You followed your dream from a little girl to do what you heart told you, rest in peace Honey.
she was a great person. RIP
let i be known to all with an IQ slightly higher than a clam. Do not get in the water with a killer whale they will kill you. Certainly if you are a total retard then jump right in with one. What a shock that the most vicious killer in the ocean was not a happy go lucky creature. Yet nothing more than a killing machine who misses the ocean. We are stunned at the level of surprise from so many people. As if we really did not think this was going to happen. We must stop these creatures before they move to walking on dry land and killing us.
you were amazing! we saw you last September and you were just outstanding! TY & RIP
