Seight Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I think what the scientists are saying is that the attacks are becoming more pronounced. Quote
André Toulon Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) I think is being going on for quite a while...but I can't say it was orcas. In Japan the whales they were hunting were attacking boats and devouring crews at least 10 years ago...before South Park made a thing about it....whatever whales they have. I think sea life in general is sick of our shit, but orcas effect us so now we care? Where tf are Orcas Edited June 24, 2023 by André Toulon 1 Quote
Insipid Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I heard the orcas want a return to the quiet waters experienced during the covid lockdowns. Not sure how plausible this is at all. Quote
discolé monade Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 this was the premise of a movie that first frightened me, but then had me cheering for the orcas. 1 Quote
Lynnrael Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 i support our orca comrades and think we should figure out how to arm them 1 Quote
katt_goddess Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 It's been going on for a while now but it's been getting more attention because the orca attacks are spreading out. A theory was that a mother orca got clipped by a yacht and not only decided to thump it but taught her calves to thump them too. The action was taught to other orcas in the area who also started targeting yachts. 3 Quote

When an orca does something to a human, it’s not just a human messing with raw nature it’s payback for a betrayal. In a way, we see ourselves as inferior to the orcas in a way we don’t with any other animal because, for a long time, we exploited their intelligence for our amusement. 1 Quote
molarbear Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 The day is upon us I joke about this frequently, but with rising sea levels I honestly think they're starting to see humans as a 4th meal 1 3 Quote
