Orca attack

[nortada]

Interesting. Just hope the Iberian orcas have read this article. Until 2018 they didn’t attack sailing boats. Habits change.

There's about 14 murders a day in UK, the multi millions it cost to police doesn't stop them, when the catch the perp they dont kill them, so why kill Orcas? Just lock them up and give them a telly to watch with 3 good meals a day.

Wasn’t aware, I ever suggested killing orcas so why attach your rather ludicrous comments to my post

Do you have to weight them so the sink before exploding? or just lob them in the water.

Another case a couple of days ago, first 8 animals, then about 20. They did not leave until the rudder was broken, boat towed into Barbate

Apologies, I do not know what happens with that site, a search indicates a few recent articles about the incident, none seem to be available

Actually there is only 2 murders every 24hrs in the uk, but otherwise a valid point.

Mine was a quick google and of course I just took the top of the list, seems there conflicting info...I did think 14 was a bit high...

Some of the comments are enlightening/interesting.

Summing up, if you go to Texas don't ever think about trying and clean with a towel the few drops of your ice cream that have fallen on the neighbour garden, or you will be shot.

It's the daily wail, which 99% of people never take seriously, and rightly so
