Subject: Keiko (Willy) the whale Died Today

Written By: LyricBoy on 12/13/03 at 05:12 p.m.

Sadly the most famous Orca in the world, Keiko "Free Willy" died today in Norway of pneumonia.  :'(

Willy rocked.  Despite the controversy that surrounded him, he was a symbol that people still have a heart and that there really is something called "hope".

RIP, Keiko.  :'(  Have fun in that Sea World in the Sky.  :)

The sad part of this story is that Keiko would probably have been saved had he been freed sooner. The Orca became domesticated, and it may have cost him his life. We'll miss you, Big Guy. :'(

Keiko was buried on land today, in a solemn ceremony attended by friends and handlers.

RIP Keiko.   :-*  If there is a SeaWorld in heaven, they've got one heck of an act.  ;D
