Orcas relentlessly battered a yacht in a “terrifying” two-hour attack that didn’t end until the $128,680 vessel sunk to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.
...
they were not playing at all, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew the weak points of the boat, and they knew how to sink it...
“Their sole intention was to sink the boat
...
The five orcas circled the 39-foot sailing boat and took turns smashing it to bits .. in a coordinated assault Powell compared to the carnage of wolves.
...
The pod of five first focused on the rudder, rendering the sailboat unable to steer after about 15 hits.
...
“They were circling. It was like watching wolves hunt,
...
Though they were just two miles off the coast of Spain — and the crew radioed for help as soon as the attack began — it took two hours before help arrived.
A Spanish salvage vessel fortunately helped them abandon the stricken ship, minutes before it sunk 130 feet below the Mediterranean’s surface.
...
he tried everything from dropping firecrackers in the water and turning off the engine to deter the attack, but the pod was determined.
“It was a very long attack, and it was really the violence of the attack that surprised me
...
the same group responsible for terrorizing other skippers in European waters in recent years.
...
In May, a pack of killer whales sank a 50-foot yacht in Moroccan waters after repeatedly slamming into the vessel.
Orcas also interfered with a sailing race last year
...
“It’s only a matter of time before someone shoots one of these killer whales
...
The fight between man and beast is going to get worse. Luckily none of us were in the water or got hurt.

Maybe it’s time we start killing off these handfuls of pods that are doing this so this “behavior “doesn’t matriculate throughout the remainder of the species.
I don’t care if they’re playing or not
WTF!? There was a comment that referenced a passage I. The Bible and it was deleted while I was in the middle of commenting.
“They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Rev. 6:7-8)”

Excellent post. I was thinking along similar lines. God has used wild animals as punishment in the OT as well. It won’t be long before the word gets around among them that we are a good source of protein.
Alright, I clicked the ad-filled link just for you, ‘soup.
Best I can do is $130K. 🤣
Still just a couple bites for an orca!
They need to call in some pilot whales. Orcas are scared to death of them.
No depth charges? Never go out without depth charges. Just sayin!
Those are killer dolphins, not whales. They are from the dolphin family.
Like a million dollar house in LA. Not that grand.
....and taste like chicken.
There was a time when suggesting the killing of whales would get you cancelled! It was the Third Rail of enviropolitics and you DARE not touch it!!
But I guess we now live in the Post-Whale culture?
Countries are going to end up culling the sea wolves.
WTF!? There was a comment that referenced a passage I. The Bible and it was deleted while I was in the middle of commenting.
All comments are still up.
Drop some M26 frag grenades. Get their minds right.
I say “we need a bigger harpoon!”.
Good to see some are watching. We need more “ Watchman”. Hopefully, more “ Christians “ will be given the eyes to see, and ears to hear”….and that begins by daily reading, Thanks, Praise and Worship.
Take a rifle to them. They’re smart and it will only take a couple to die for them to catch a clue.
Shoot, sail and shut up.
Yup... Go ahead and shoot them. Imagine if help never came. Once those people were in the water then they would have been attacked and killed.
