A marine biologist says killer whales are on an unprecedented killing spree in California’s Monterey Bay.
Nancy Black says orcas have killed four gray whale calves in eight days.
Black, who co-owns Monterey Bay Whale Watch, says a family of nine killer whales has taken part in all the attacks but the first killing involved 33 orcas.

Nancy Black says orcas have killed four gray whale calves in eight days. Greenpeace should clearly intervene...

“””A marine biologist says killer whales are on an unprecedented killing spree in California’s Monterey Bay.”””
One can assume by the use of the word “unprecedented” that this has never happened before. I’m curious how the biologist would know this since these killer whales have been around for thousands of years.

For starters, Monterey Bay has one AWESOME aquatic ‘museum’ so I can feel their pain. Been there a number of times. I hope the Sea Otters are OK, but, to Oceanic Killers, they ARE just food...
These are WILD ANIMALS we’re dealing with here. They TAKE ADVANTAGE of feeding where & when they can. If you try to ‘humanize’ them, you’re wasting your time.
‘Circle of Life’ and all that. If you’re not a Predator, You. Are. Prey. Simple logistics as old as Time. ;)

They’ve been watching on the news how liberals protest and thought it a good idea.

This is clearly Trump’s fault.

Where is the lady scientist who was going to measure orca penises? She may want to put her experiments on hold til the killing spree has run its course.

Since the left wants to give animals rights, these killer whales need to be arrested immediately for the murder of 4 gray whales. And no doubt countless seals and otters.

First the Sharks, then the Jets, and now the Orcas.

Well they are the “big cats” of the ocean and are obligate carnivores just like cats are. Meat’s on the menu if you’re an orca.
