American Family Association Pins SeaWorld Death On Lack Of Christianity: ‘Bible Ignored, Trainer Die

Edited on Thu Mar-04-10 10:56 AM by Joanne98
Last week, a 12,000-pound SeaWorld Orlando orca killed trainer Dawn Brancheau while she swam in the tank. The orca, named Tilikum, had been involved in violent episodes in the past, including an incident in 1991 when “Tilikum and two female killer whales dragged trainer Keltie Byrne underwater, drowning her in front of spectators at Sealand of the Pacific, a defunct aquarium in Victoria, British Columbia.” Tilikum also seemed to be involved in the death of a man who snuck into the orca’s pool in 1999.

The American Family Association, the powerful right-wing Christian political organization, blogged that, “If the counsel of the Judeo-Christian tradition had been followed,” Beancheau would have never died. AFA blogger Bryan Fischer reasoned that according to Exodus, an animal like Tilikum should have been stoned back in 1991, and if biblical law were to be followed, the owners of Tilikum should be put to death

The "owners" of Tilikum are Seaworld aka The Blackstone Group.....


SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (abbreviated SeaWorld) is a family entertainment company owned by The Blackstone Group. SeaWorld is responsible for the operation and maintenance of ten theme parks located throughout the United States. Formerly a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, under which it was known as Busch Entertainment Corporation,<2> SeaWorld Parks is headquartered in unincorporated Orange County, Florida,<3> near Orlando.<2>

This is a perfect example of why American Christians are heretics. They refuse to update the bible to include CORPORATE crimes.

The INVESTORS are the owners. Go tell them about it!

But NO they won't because they'd rather blame everything on "personal responsiblity" with in the modern world of finance barely exists anymore.

IT'S THE SHAREHOLDERS STUPID!
