Despite having killed three humans , a bull orca is being trotted out to “entertain” the crowds at SeaWorld:
Tilikum, the 6-ton whale that drowned a SeaWorld Orlando trainer in 2010 is performing again.
Since the tragic accident, SeaWorld officials say they have taken extensive safety measures, including the addition of nets and rails, to prevent something similar from happening again.
Tilikum has been involved in three deaths and hasn’t performed in more than a year.
As God told Noah , any animal that kills a man must be put to death. This Noahide Code applies to all humans and at all times—it has never been superseded or revoked. We can choose to ignore it, but at what cost? How many other people must die before SeaWorld does the right thing and puts this animal to death?
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
