Blasting underwater tunes to try and keep killer whales away is a bad idea for multiple reasons, a researcher says.

    A half stick of dynamite or a few M80s would drive them off. However customs could be difficult with explosives on board.

    Personally I think a about 110volts at 2200ohms should do the trick, just put a few electrodes in the water near your rudder and turn up the juice. Should be pretty easy to conceal from customs. Blackfish will learn quick to avoid the zappy boat…

        Are you saying a half stick of dynamite or 2000 volts of electricity next to an Orca’s head won’t run them off or stop them?

      This is why the orcas are attacking us. And we clearly deserve it.

        Perhaps but if they endanger the safety of a vessel with people aboard then it’s time to light off some explosives or fill the water with electricity.

            LMAO you think Orcas have some kind of environmental vendetta against humans like some Captain Planet episode.

            Please tell me more!

              …Well, kind of yes.

              One biologist theorized that the attacks originated with a female orca, known as White Gladis, who may have been harmed by a boat. As the theory goes, White Gladis began to act defensively around seagoing vessels, and other orcas picked up the behavior.

                So not at all related to the environment?

                I know that these orcas have somehow been personified for some people online as nature’s divine wrath, but that’s literally not what they are.

                They’re just animals being animals.

                It sounds like if we eliminated or deterred the Orcas who are exhibiting this behavior it would stop others from learning it. No?

                  Orcas are endangered, so no, you can’t go around trying to shock them or blow them up.

                    Never stated I wanted to blow them up. If they attack my rudder I want to ensure the safety of my crew and scare them away from the boat.

                    Your a moron, no one has been documented trying. Go flap that uneducated cock holster somewhere else.

              No go on, you’re in the thread about Orcas turning on people, give us your theory you gun-totin rootin-tootin hard man.

                I’m not a marine biologist, I don’t have a theory on Orca aggression.

                I just know what would keep them from damaging a boat and would most likely deter them from attacking again in the future. High voltage and underwater explosions are pretty well understood by all creatures.

                  So you know nothing about orcas but you definitely know what would deter them in the future. Got it.

                    I mean logic dictates that a half stick of dynamite or 2000 Volts of electricity going off in their face would deter most if not all terrestrial creatures that we know of.
