Two orcas killing great white sharks are scaring away sharks in South Africa. Could that happen along Cape Cod?

Out of that huge ocean, on the other side of the world, are two orcas and they worry about Massachusetts.

Ridiculous.

Simple. Require the orcas to get permits. And report them to the HOA.

I’ve heard of sea lions boarding boats in situations like that.

There is the case of the Australian Orcas that used to alert whalers to where the whales were located so they could eat the whale tongues after they had been harpooned.

There was a fascinating book telling this story, read it long ago. Can’t remember the book title, but here are some details https://thewest.com.au/travel/australasia/man-and-orca-combined-to-hunt-for-whales-in-eden-ng-b881089423z

I heard one great white complaining to another, this place has really gone down hill, to violent now that the orcas are here. The other great white said, I have heard of this great place up north lots of seals, they call it cape cod.

Killer Whales are actually dolphins - really big dolphins.

Interesting. Had to look up what differentiates dolphins and whales and it looks like one of the primary differences is dolphins have teeth!

Of course ‘killer dolphin’ just doesn’t have the cachet of the name ‘killer whale’.

Sure. Throw in Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg. Wait 2 minutes for them to get hungry again and then toss in HRC.

Funny how that works eh? Sort of like that definition of democracy as two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
