    Orcas have been attacking and sinking yachts. Apparently, CEO Marcus Hale (crypto bro) was sailing off the coast of Portugal last October when his yacht was attacked by orcas. He drowned. Here’s the only article I can find that’s not a video or twitter post: https://www.bitrue.com/blog/marcus-hale-crypto-ceo-death

    I can’t find a more reputable link, so can’t vouch for the veracity of this. The orcas have been revolting for a few years, though.

        Same. If arrogant bastards were doing donuts in my garden, keeping me up at all hours, throwing their rubbish everywhere, and scaring away my food, I’d start sabotaging them, too.

        Orcas have yet to kill anyone on purpose, and this dipshit was likely collateral damage to them, but if they literally start eating people I’d say they deserve it. Team Orca.

          *Wild orcas are not known to have killed a human on purpose. Captive orcas seem to have killed on purpose.

            You’re right, and who can blame them. We’ve treated them poorly.

            (I was thinking about one instance, but there have been several, you’re right.)
