Given that Orcas seem fairly plentiful in the NE Atlantic, why don't the relevant authorities just cull this problematic pod before someone dies and/or they teach others?
We have to realize that orcas are wild animals. I'm not sure it was just a game. Dr de Stephanis probably understands the behavior of orcas very well to make such bold statements. I hope he doesn't understand animal language like Jim Carrey in one of his movies )
I guess there are too many fish in the sea, that's why there are so many orcas. If we catch more fish, there will be fewer orcas. Or what do orcas eat? Isn't it fish?Given that Orcas seem fairly plentiful in the NE Atlantic, why don't the relevant authorities just cull this problematic pod before someone dies and/or they teach others?
You don’t expect neutral reporting from the Beeb. There’s always an agenda. I was dismayed to see not a shred of concern for sailors’ safety or of their boats: "We have to remember that the sea is their home - we're the intruders,"
Correct , whats your problem with that , are you denying this . ?You don’t expect neutral reporting from the Beeb. There’s always an agenda. I was dismayed to see not a shred of concern for sailors’ safety or of their boats: "We have to remember that the sea is their home - we're the intruders,"
No wrong. It’s ours now. We took it. They need to learn who their masters are, because if they don’t, it won’t end well for them.Correct , whats your problem with that , are you denying this . ?
Assuming you're right, we now need to manage it responsibly because if we don't it won't end well for us.No wrong. It’s ours now. We took it. They need to learn who their masters are, because if they don’t, it won’t end well for them.

It's the only option man knows.......kill it.....we have even educated all the children to adopt this attitude...."space invaders game" anyone...Extermination may not be a good option

Needs a heart warming film about orcas, oh wait hang on a mo.?.And when it comes to unpleasant dogs, wasps, mosquitoes, rats, mice, jelly fish, sharks and most anything else considered dangerous or even just a pest to mankind, that option's widely supported. However, any species considered cutesy, photogenic or that has had a heart-warming film made about it must be protected at all costs.
A few years back if I saw a wasp near me it was game for killing. Now I leave them alone, partly as they take part in pest control and I believe pollination and I just don't see many nowadays.And when it comes to unpleasant dogs, wasps, mosquitoes, rats, mice, jelly fish, sharks and most anything else considered dangerous or even just a pest to mankind, that option's widely supported.
