Over at a web site called Rightly Concerned they seem to be suggesting that God wants Seaworld's management DEAD.
Their rationale? The Bible tells them so!
Chalk another death up to animal rights insanity and to the ongoing failure of the West to take counsel on practical matters from the Scripture....
... If the counsel of the Judeo-Christian tradition had been followed, Tillikum [the Killer Whale that killed its handler] would have been put out of everyone's misery back in 1991 and would not have had the opportunity to claim two more human lives.
Says the ancient civil code of Israel, "When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable." (Exodus 21:28)
So, your animal kills somebody, your moral responsibility is to put that animal to death. You have no moral culpability in the death, because you didn't know the animal was going to go postal on somebody.
But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn't kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, "the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." (Exodus 21:29)
Of course, the Bible also greenlights slavery, rape (provided you pay a small fine and marry the girl), and human sacrifice.
Follow directions people!
