"They" are now attempting to claim that it was SeaWorld's Dawn Brancheau's long ponytail that caused Tillikum the Orca to jam her to death. Chuck Tompkins, SeaWorld's "curator" of zoological operations, said that Dawn's hair may have tickled Tillikum's nose, prompting him to jam. Really? I am sure that the aggression had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Tillikum is a bull 6-ton wild animal with an intelligence level deeper than most Tea Partiers who is being kept captive in the marine version of a damp closet in order to thrill tourists by splashing them with dirty canned salt water. Yeah, this wouldn't piss him off at all.

Well, on the other hand...ponytails can be annoying.

Orcas are not trick Ponies.
