The orcas are attacking small sailboats, which tend to have less of an environmental impact… less engine use, quiet, fewer people on board, very small scale fishing (if at all). It’s weird to be rooting against this sort of ship when cruise ships and trawlers are the real problem - and also pretty difficult to attack. Will you count it as a success if people favor larger powerboats over small sailboats?

I love whales.

But never forget that Orcas aren't called Killer Whales because they're "Whales That Kill", but because they're "Killers Of Whales".

Orcas kill other whales, sometimes for fun not for food. And they have such a reputation in the cetacean kingdom as brutal murderous assholes, that whales will help seals escape from them, to their own detriment/risk.

So yeah. In Humans vs. Orcas, it's hard not to root for the orcas, especially considering how we've treated them in captivity for the last 100 years. But on a more broader mammalian scale, we're both kind of the intelligent assholes of the animal kingdom.

Gaia is fighting back. Nature is healing.

As the great George Carlin said: the planet isn’t going anywhere, we are!

Just to be pedantic: orcas are dolphins, not whales (despite also being being called "killer whales").

I too support our proletariat whale and dolphin brethren.

Why should the richest humans sail on personal gilded craft?!

Down with yachts! The hour of revolution is at hand!
