How do You get an Orca Stoned?

By Jewcy Staff / March 4, 2010

If you’re an organization that promotes conservative Christian values, and you have a really generic name, how do you stand out? 

If you’re smart (or insane) like American Family Association, you tell Sea World that they must stone Tiliku –the whale that killed its trainer last week–to death.

    Agreed. Great publicity stunt, although, I do have to note that it took me to their site and, amidst wading through all the Founding Fathers must have received the Constitution from G-d muck, did notice that the blogger thought that this idea had to do with the intrinsic value of the human person, namely, the trainer. He also did not call for the animal to be stoned. As he notes, " even if you wanted to stone a giant dolphin to death, I’m not sure exactly how you’d go about doing it."

    you can not extrapolate the halacha  concerning a domesticated killer ox to a born in captivity orca who kills. and thats why we don’t rely on non-authentic interpitation of OUR TORAH.

    I have to admit it was a good (and hilarious)  publicity stunt. I got my laugh for today (although I do agree something should be done about the whale – preferably not involving stones…)
