They Call Him Flipper….
In Florida at the Sea World amusement park, one of the trained killer whales did what killer whales are supposed to do, and tried to eat one of the trainers. Further investigation determined that this particular whale was in fact a rare Caspian Sea killer whale, originally caught off the coast of Rasht by US Navy Intelligence vessels posing as Gilani Caviar fishermen. This past summer the whale had been observed to be highly distressed, and had tried to kill another trainer at that time. After this latest incident, the keepers at Sea World finally realized that the whale now re-named Nahang-Ollah was extremely distraught over the elections in Iran.
