Around here, we don't hunt deer. We stand our ground.

It is a TV commercial.

It is a very good photoshop job. The underlying clip is from a very famous NatGeo show about a pod of Orcas that every year show up off Patagonia where the seals are breeding. If you look closely, at the beginning of the clip, you can see a baby seal in the surf line to the right. The Orcas have learned to beach themselves..running inshore to grab the baby seals. More importantly, it's been shown that mother Orcas TEACH this behavior to their young...it's a whole new insight into Orca intelligence.

Orcas are dolphins, the largest one, and dolphins do love hmans. During WW II, there are many stories of Navy pilots shot down in the South Pacific, and while in their life rafts hopefully awaiting rescue, dolphins would come along side, and after appearing to recognize that there was human in the lift raft, they would start PUSHING the raft ashoe. Unfortunately, since all the islands were occupied by Japanese at the time, the Navy pilots would often have to beat the dolphins off with their oar..to discourage them.

Reminds me of an old SEA HUNT episode in which a man is eaten by an Orca, resulting in a call to “Wipe them out!”

Curiously, that is what every single woman I have ever bedded, have said.

If you look closely, you’ll see a small black object in the edge of the surf to the right of the man in the film. It’s a seal. The film showed the orca teaching its calf how to catch seals on or near the beach. The man was photoshopped in.
