    Yeah, they are damaging mostly sailboats, not those millionaire party yachts you imagine. Boats from families and people who just want to sail and chill on the ocean, literally the least environmental damaging boats there are.

      Oh won’t someone think of the family that’s not billionaire rich just millionaire rich.

        So I have a 35ft sailboat (or yacht) that I paid less than 10k euros for, and I sail it with my family on the weekends near places where orcas sometimes roam, tell me how I am a millionaire again? Or how its “justice” if they someday sink my boat? Because these are the ones they are attacking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all against those sea monstrosities from the ultra rich, but cheering for the orcas is not the way. Someday they will get someone killed, and they will probably be hunted down until they stop being a threat.

          The people to attack in this mess are the fishing boats and the other yachts that are actually impacting the habits and habitats of the whales, the very last thing we want to do here is gnash and hate on each other.

          Unless you hate the whales and everything they represent, in which case the door is over there. Our silly boaty time fun is recreation, our recreation is not more important than other sapient life on this fucking planet.

          we simply have to acheive communications with the orcas and explain to them that though they can attack and disable your small vessel, they should instead attack the larger vessels that are doing harm to them.

          to which, they’ll reply, eeeeeeeeeeeOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwwwwwwwEEEEEwwwwwwwwwooooooooOOOoOOOOoo

          which is orca for, “Bitch, I can’t eat metal.”

          I kid, but you know, it’s real.

          Bro, you’re in their habitat… don’t want to get sunk then don’t go there.

              Yeah but they ain’t exactly wrong. If I had a sailboat I’d avoid the areas orca’s were attacking actively and uh, reconsider things.

              My dude/ette, marine mammals that are really intelligent are organizing and orchestrating attacks on human built vessels, this is “WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL” intensity shit.

              I think the ocean is cooking and we’re seeing all the wildlife go bonkers.
