  "Orcas where using that elementary school to attack boats, it was self defense."

  Sadly, if this keeps up people are just going to start killing them in self defense if an attack starts.

  This is the only reason I'm hesitant to cheer for the Orca uprising.

  The public outrage would be pretty big if they just started killing orcas.

    You want radicalized orca suicide bombers? This is how you get radicalized orca suicide bombers.

      You’re not wrong:

      “These nautical raids were likely started by a pod including White Gladis, a female orca who may have been traumatized by a past boat collision. The unusual behavior then spread among other individuals who seem to be becoming more daring and efficient with their attacks.”

    If they killed them because their ship was under attack and they feared for their lives after 4 past sinkings and no navy nearby to help, I’m pretty sure people would find it reasonable.

    It took 45minutes, that’s long enough to get videos, call for help, maybe try to scare them off and then start harpooning them.
