Since orcas are virtually giant children we can't talk with the only practical solution is to non-lethally attack them in return until they stop. Orcas are smart but they aren't human smart. They can't infer by themselves that antagonising humans is ultimately futile and will eventually lead to retaliation. Whatever their reason is they have realised attacking certain parts of boats can stop them AND humans aren't fighting back. They just need to be slapped back and they'll stop
It would fucking pathetic if the public actually gets manipulated by the government and starts killing them. Orca are protected species, nothing should. Anyone who harms them must be jailed.

one older whale sought vengeance, and taught the others. The others are just doing it because they can. They're intelligent/curious creatures that get bored easily and like to amuse themselves but tho it's evil and troublesome it's not necessarily malicious. Like a child with a magnifying lens burning ants. The child isn't doing it to be cruel or cause they hate bugs, but cause they have a magic wand that creates a beam of light that can burn shit. They're just doing it for fun.
But animal abusers get clear signs of suffering from the animal they abuse. They know they are causing harm.
Do you think whales are intelligent enough to understand and empathize with humans enough know they cause others suffering?
Pretty sure orcas have been confirmed to be smarter than dogs, so yeah probably. Do kids that burn ants stop doing it once they see the ants running around panicking?

>smarter than dogs
yeah, but we're like fucking aliens to them. How could they relate to us enough to understand?
Plus they're not even attacking humans. They're attacking the boats. Boat's can't feel or suffer.
Also most kids are very gullible.and taught insects can't feel anything and that's why it's OK to swat or step on them.
I think deterrents are more likely. Spiked hulls and whatnot.
It's actually an incredibly simple thing to avoid, thinking on it. You could also surround the hull with a net of razor wire. Orcas are smart, so if one of these boats draws blood, they should back off.
The Scots?
Not where I would have started with the Anglo Menace, but hey, it is a start...

nothing should change that*
It's already happening in Chile. We forget that more than half of our species has a middle age mentality. Expect more dead orcas to wash ashore.
This was a plot point in 'The Swarm'.
I'm rooting for the Yrr.

Humans are the worst.
>playful manner
No?

Uh, based?
>They're just doing it for fun.
Anon, do you think people who abuse animals do it because they think it's evil? No, it's because they think it's fun.
But animal abusers get clear signs of suffering from the animal they abuse. They know they are causing harm.

>we
No, you mean you're at war with us.
I’m worried that these recent incidents might result in orcas being killed. I’m hoping that doesn’t end up happening. But I can’t help but be weary.
Try taking a little nap
This anon is trying to kill orcas while we are asleep
As long as no one falls into the water and gets murdered in a horrible way by a pod of Orcas, people won't kill them

The world is just a huge B movie now, isn't it?
I'm on team orca.
I hate rich people too, I'll fight on the side of the orcas
