Why does this matter for the release of this whale kept in captivity and why should the sailors even try to? And of course, how would they go about it? [1] Fortunately, the orca attacs were limited to what is believed to be a single pod off the coast of Spain. This is certainly a disturbing behavior, but fortunately, no humans were harmed. There was some significant damage done to some boats, only one is known to have sunk as a consequence. Interestingly, when the sailers deployed and boarded their life rafts, they were not attacked by the orcas, despite life rafts being an even easier target. Also, the attacks mostly concentrated on the rudders of the attacked ships. 1: Besides that it would be illegal to try to harm the orcas and most sailors - we are talking about recreational boats being attacked - are quite peaceful, they wouldn't have any armament to even attempt an attack. Not to mention how counterproductive such an attempt could be.
