After "dropping bombs that explode underwater and firing rubber bullets and bean bags from shotguns" failed to stop sea lions from getting hungry and eating salmon, wildlife officials have begun executing them, one by one.
Staff and visitor testimonies reveal exactly how Tilikum, the 22-foot, 20,000lb SeaWorld killer whale, attacked trainer Dawn Brancheau last week (she died of "multiple traumatic injuries and drowning"). And it's precisely as scary as you might expect.
