re: Are orcas the biggest jerks in the ocean?

Maybe, and humans are the biggest jerks on land. We do some seriously fricked up shite.

Some? They can literally speak to each other and have massive brains somewhat comparable to ours..

This is the OT. The bar is low

I think we take the prize for both land and water.

I always laugh at the videos of paddle boarder or surfer or kayak and orca encounters.

Many are playful encounters. Some are investigative. Just like shark mistake surfers for seals. I think orcas do the same. They are just more intelligent. So instead of bite first. They look around.

They poke their head up so they can see on top of the board. If they see a human. They don’t attack. But many times I believe they are checking you out. Swimming on their back to “play”? Maybe if they’ve already checked you out. If not and that’s their first reaction to you? They are showing you their white belly to spook you. If you were a seal or a small school, you’d panic and start making moves. Then they’d attack. Also they’re in a perfect position for the tail slap. If they decide your a seal.

The ones with babies? Maybe some are playing. Maybe some are teaching. Ok this is not food, but if it were here’s how to check. Here’s how to get in position to attack. Or position to do a tail slap.

To quote Ron White on Killer Whales:

"it turns out that there is a reason that they are not called Sea Ponies."

quote:

Dying orcas, whales, and dolphins beach themsevles to die peacefully breathing air, instead of sinking and drowning, and humans insist on pushing them back into the water.

---

That’s right. Go die where you can be useful.

Rape and murder all your lives, then decide “this ain’t good enough, I wanna die by the humans,”?

Oh, hell nah.
Drown like a man.

Dying like that is not peaceful. Neither is drowning but let’s not kid ourselves here. When a whale beaches itself, it’s lungs collapse against its weight to the point where it can no longer breath. It’s crucifying itself if you will.

The orcas hired a hell of a PR team, blackfish, free Willy and on and on.

In doing so, skinning the baby calf alive.

quote:

---

It’s not like they’re dragging random sea creatures, or people, to depth then drowning them only to then rape the shite out of them where there’s no witnesses.

---

But they do. Just without the rape. (Maybe they do but...no witnesses) Then you have those two "teenager" orcas off South Africa that are killing Great White Sharks and removing their livers.

They give no fricks because nothing else in the ocean is going to do shite about it. And they know it.
