Fred Felleman, a marine consultant in Seattle, Washington, said keeping the social animals in what amounts to isolation is bound to cause problems.
"The fact is
we don't have the facilities to adequately accommodate not only the physical needs, the psychological and social needs of these animals," he told CNN affiliate KIRO-TV.
"We respect lions and wolves and wild dogs as fantastic things, but
we don't go run into the Serengeti and try to jump on their back."
Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, told CNN he knew Brancheau and that she would want her work to continue.
"What happened is something that happens; it happens in our line of work," he said. "They are dangerous animals; they're wild animals."
He added that he hopes SeaWorld continues with the work it does with killer whales.
But a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called the death "a tragedy that didn't have to happen."
Jaime Zalac said the organization had called on SeaWorld "
to stop confining oceangoing mammals to an area that to them is like the size of a bathtub, and we have also been asking the park to stop forcing the animals to perform silly tricks over and over again. It's not surprising when these huge, smart animals lash out."
