“Between 2020 and 2023 there were reportedly around 500 attacks.”

It must be fun.

I hear that this is one pod doing this.

It was taught by one older female to the whole pod.

Eventually this behavior could spread to other pods as whales making it a behavior for basically all orcas in any ocean.

My thought is they unfortunately need to cull this pod.

I have heard that someone on that boat got loudly drunk and started telling whale jokes. The Orcas were not amused.

Betting it’s the offshore wind turbines that are agitating then.

I think of my neighbor, who lets her big dogs off the leash at the park - and when they charge at you, she yells: “They just want to play!!”

Maybe the Orcas “just want to play.”

“Yacht”

So now I am curious, what is a “Yacht”?

Because that just looks like a boat in the picture.

Does it have a sleep cabin/deck?

What makes a boat a yacht?

Sorry for tangeant

Until after WWII, it was common for boats to have a firearm, such as a rifle, for security.

A couple of rifle shots tend to stop such attacks. It appears it has been the world wide attack on civilian arms which has been the reason for lack of arms on most civilian vessels.

Has the woke epidemic spread to the orcas?

I remember the old SEA HUNT with Lloyd Bridges. In one episode there is a killer whale giving them problems.. Bridges says “They need to be wiped off the earth!”

They must have learned that there are tasty snacks on board

I’m an outdoorsman. I run into all kinds of creatures. RESPECT Gods creation and you will not get killed. Oh. Pack a gun. Just in case.

it’s almost like the attacks are Orca-Straighted

Are these attacks random or orca-strated?

That’s no Yacht. Heck, Gilligan and the Skipper had a bigger boat.

You can tell by the dorsal fin that one’s a female. Maybe there are calves involved.
