This is like the BLM riots; a peaceful sinking.

It HAS to be climate change.

I doubt this is anything new.

They are exposed to fishing vessels which they correctly perceive as competitors.

They only have so much intelligence and if any boat appears small enough that they believe they can take it on, they will instinctively attack the competitor.

Really. A .308 would work fine.

They really need to just kill this pod of whales and be done with it.

If this behavior starts to matriculate to other pods, this could get bad/lethal for boaters all over the world.

Boats are crunchy on the outside with a gooey middle.

In seriousness, it sounds like they are just being bullies.

Time to knock them down a peg.

They are defending their pack from strangers like any other pack animals would.

We obviously have been negligent in keeping their populations in check. Time to sharpen the harpoons and stoke the fat rendering fires. The Japanese could still do the job if the west has become too feminized.

The Alpha of this pod started the attacks on surface vessels for unknown reasons. This has been talked about for several months.
