Do killer whales make good pets?

Russ Rector, an animal-rights activist and former dolphin trainer in Fort Lauderdale who says keeping killer whales in captivity can turn them violent, said Tilikum's history proved the he should not have been kept at SeaWorld, a theme park that emphasizes human and animal interaction. The animal, he said, should have been set free years ago.

虎鲸（也称为杀人鲸）是非常大型的海洋哺乳动物，它们在野外的自然栖息地是海洋，需要广阔的水域和特殊的生态环境来生存。作为宠物饲养在家中或私人场所是不现实的，也违反了许多国家和地区的法律和动物保护条例。虎鲸需要专业的护理和复杂的环境来满足它们的生理和心理需求，因此，它们并不适合作为宠物。
