[not.a.sock.puppet]

A SEA lion who didn't take kindly to being weighed has attacked an animal trainer at Sea World on the Gold Coast.

THE 28-year-old suffered a minor cut to his arm, Sea World said in a statement.

The theme park said the man was trying to carry out a routine weight check on the animal when the incident happened."An ambulance was called to attend to the trainer. Following the incident, both the sea lion and trainer are in a good condition," Sea World said.The sea lions are coming into their breeding season which can lead to them being in an excited state, the park said.

and the moral of the story is wild animals belong in the wild, not in theme parks.

i watched a doco the other night about seaworld and their use of orca's in the water parks in canada, spain and usa...

trainers died, trainers lied and seaworld continues to subject these poor animals to abject torture snd put their trainers at risk.

a despicable organisation with no moral or ethical standards, and bad corporate citizens
