It sounds like a joke, yet isn\u2019t; leading fundamentalist Christian organization American Family Association is calling for the stoning of a whale that killed a trainer at Orlando\u2019s SeaWorld two weeks ago. From \"\"Huffington Post:<\/p>\n

\n

The American Family Association, a religious right group, is urging that Tillikum (Tilly), the killer whale that killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando, be put down, preferably by stoning. Citing Tilly\u2019s history<\/a> of violent altercations, the group is slamming SeaWorld for not listening to Scripture in how to deal with the animal.<\/p>\n

However, the group is going further and laying the blame for the trainer\u2019s death directly at the feet of Chuck Thompson, the curator in charge of animal behavior. According to Scripture, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn\u2019t kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal\u2026\u201dthe ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.\u201d<\/p>\n
