It's called a killer whale for a reason. Shoot, if I was stuck into a cramped space like the killer whales (I think the equivalent would be living out of your bedroom for the rest of your life), I'd want to kill someone too.
Actually, killer whales are known to have symbiotic relationships with fishermen. The killer whales would trap the whales in a confined spot so that fishermen can harpoon the whales.
Don't know if I have ever forgiven an animal before. If they are wild animals then they are just doing what they need to survive. What separates us from wild animals is that we can rationalize and make choices, and have emotional feelings. Animals are just trying to survive on their instincts and not looking for forgiveness.
Actually, most mammals have emotional feelings. Perhaps you are referring to the trait of self awareness which is arguably also found in dolphins as well.
Good point. For myself I wouldn't go as far as forgiving an animal but I wouldn't hold the action against them at all. Might have misinterpreted the question.
Of course you "forgiv"e it. Its an ANIMAL that WE put in captivity. What doesn't belong in room full of humans? Is it A-a lamp, B-a microwave, or C-a 9 ton animal? Hmmm...
