Violent Behaviour
Old 25-07-2008

Hi,
Many animals turn Violent in fact my favourite show is Hunter Hunted which shows why animals kill, I hope that we can discuss many motives why animals turn Violent,

i think when animals like say lions hunt its not really violence as such, its survival. violence is more about like agression and often retaliation. thats just my opinion any way feel free to disagree!

Yes that is exactly right, but sometimes animals have kill by very complicated behaviour, dolphins have been known to attack humans through "urges"

What was the outcome of the Orca that held it's trainer under water? I belive it was last year in America at 1 of the sea world proporties?

Did anyone follow this?

Is that the one that happened in San Diego?

The feamle orca called Kasatka, attacked her keeper it was strange to the staff because apparently she was one of the consistent performers, she had only one other incident in 1999 when she tried to bite a keeper on the leg,
