Why "Free Willy" Keiko should never have been pushed into the wild

I got to see Keiko up close when he was at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in 1998, and I was struck by just how child-like and social he was with handlers at the aquarium. A few years later, when they tried to introduce him into the wild, I suspected it might end up being a disaster.

Interesting look back at why it was probably the wrong decision...
