Actually Sea World had to stop their Shamu shows because he attacked and I think killed one of the staff. I’m glad that we saw the show in 2006. It was amazing.

If “killer” and “whale” weren’t good enough clues, what about “juvenile” and “males”?

“There’s something about moving parts ... that seem to stimulate them,” he says. Motorhead Orcas! The world ain’t so bad after all.

Payback for all that whaling that went on back in the 1800s.Killer whales protesting for reparations. I like it. Makes as much sense as what we see here in the U.S.

Good grief, there’s a bunch a junk thought on this thread. There’s no account of wild orcas attacking people. Even the news story itself just says that boats were damaged and it MIGHT be some rowdy teen orcas.

I remember an old SEA HUNT episode in which Lloyd Bridges states, about Killer Whales, “We need to wipe them out!”
Sea Hunt S01E11 - Killer Whale (Mar 22, 1958).
And yes, I am really that old and still remember it!

The answer is simple. The whales watched Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The whales are striking first!

What I am trying to figure out is whether this is a goo thing, because they are partly black, and Black Lives Matter, or are they MAGA white supremacists?

“Killer” Whales
Not “Snuggly” Whales or “Friendly” Whales.

Must be revenge for their larger cousins whom they themselves snack on cuz orcas aren’t known for their abundance of blubber like baleen whales that were nearly hunted to extinction.

Gonna have to change their names cuz, you know, it might stigmatized them.
To: TexasKamaAina
Can you imagine the damage they could do if they had frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads?
