A group of orcas known to attack boats in southwest Europe have sunk a 50-foot sailing yacht in the Strait of Gibraltar after ripping open its hull. It is the fifth time these killer whales have sent a ship to the seafloor in the last three years. https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-attacked-and-sunk-another-boat-in-europe-and-experts-warn-there-could-be-more-attacks-soon --- "It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the Moon if it were made of ribs?" ...

Maybe the boats are scaring away their food? thats one of the theories iirc. the other 2 main ones are the matriarch of the pod was hit by a boat so she taught the pod how to attack the boats as retaliation.

Yeah the most prevailing theory is that an orca pod had a bad experience with a boat so they started attacking boats. But that it has turned into a "meme" among orcas so others are doing it too.

During Covid, there were a lot less ships in the sea, which resulted in quieter waters. This was a great benefit to cetaceans, as it let them communicate more easily. (Imagine if a species was constantly running jets over your head.)
https://www.npr.org/2020/07/20/891854646/whales-get-a-break-as-pandemic-creates-quieter-oceans https://btbel.pbsci.ucsc.edu/baleen-whale-stress-levels-post-covid-19-reductions-in-ocean-noise-and-marine-traffic/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/06/07/covid-how-the-pandemic-may-have-helped-whales-off-californias-coast/amp/ So I have to wonder if its a coincidence that these attacks started shortly afterwards. They were used to noise all their lives, then suddenly got a break and realized what life could be like without humans screaming across the ocean all the time. So maybe theyre trying to go back to that. --- The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fuck yes. Sink as many boats and yachts as you can, orcas.
I fucking hate it when people side with shitty ass humans (an invasive species) over aquatic life. Our species was not meant to be in the ocean. We were not designed for that and the only reason we are is because of our intelligence. Do we have more of a right to be in the ocean than creatures literally born into it who cannot live elsewhere?
