According to msnbc.com, "The killer whale that maimed a SeaWorld Orlando trainer to death last year is returning to the Shamu Show, the park said Tuesday.
Tilikum, a 12,000-pound killer whale, dragged trainer Dawn Brancheau into the water in February 2010.
Since that day, Tilikum has not appeared in any SeaWorld shows. The killer whale will return to performances beginning on Wednesday, the theme park said.
"Participating in shows is just a portion of Tilikum’s day, but we feel it is an important component of his physical, social and mental enrichment," said SeaWorld Animal Training Curator Kelly Flaherty Clark. "He has been regularly interacting with his trainers and the other whales for purposes of training, exercise and social and mental stimulation, and has enjoyed access to all of the pools in the Shamu Stadium complex."
SeaWorld was fined $75,000 following Brancheau's death."
