Orcas Engage In Unprecedented Monterey Bay Killing Spree
CBS San Francisco ^ | April 29, 2017

Posted on 04/29/2017 8:03:38 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.

Apparently these whales have joined the Manson family

I guess they aren't called KILLER whales for no reason.

The whale is not a fish.

It is an insect.

“Gray Lives Matter!”

There are videos on youtube showing Orcas playing with their meals. Actually - it’s hard to tell if they even end up eating it or not. One was tossing a seal around like a volley ball. Come up underneath and launch it into the air - another would come and do the same thing. Pretty amazing. (So much for the “man is the only species to ever make a sport out of killing.” (Heck, watching my neighbors’ cats I can see that!)

. I’m curious how the biologist would know this since these killer whales have been around for thousands of years.

She doesn't quite look that old. Maybe she's been using botox for a real long time?

I didn’t read the article, but would bet this scientist is blaming the actions of the orcas on globull warming.....

“Where is the lady scientist who was going to measure orca penises?”

She wants to do what? There has to be a Free Willy joke in there somewhere.

“Unprecedented” means “since this morning.”

She has other problems too. Whether it's her high profile making her a magnet target for animul rights wackos or a warning for not paying off the right cops or politicians, it appears she's occasionally in the soup:

Marine biologist gets fine, more probation for being too close to otter.

Liberal snowflakes like to say that humans are the only spieces that kill for fun, but orcas do too, as do others. They are called killer whales but they are actually dolphins. Other dolphins aren’t so nice either. They hang out in gangs, have gang fights, kidnap females and hold them hostage while gang raping them.
