Alternative title: Scary moment as boat race disrupts orcas.
- rcme 3y agoHow do you know the orcas were disrupted? > the latest encounter in what researchers say is a growing trend of aggressive interactions with Iberian orcas. Sounds like the orcas were acting with intention.

- qorrect 3y agoI'll allow it
- AlecSchueler 3y agoOne of the hypotheses being floated around is that the orcas are fighting back against boats after one of their elders were traumatised, and others include the idea that they're basically protesting against noise pollution, overfishing, dangers to water mammals etc.
- geraneum 3y agoYes, I agree. It’s very unlikely that humans disrupt the natural habitat of other species.
- rcme 3y agoNot humans, the suggested headline specifically mentions the boat race causing the disruption.
- 2-718-281-828 3y agowhen i sit in my apartment trying to relax or focus and a super loud motorcycle drives by i do feel disrupted and also fantasize about intentionally disrupting that motorcycle. so, i can relate to the orcas and it goes both ways with the disrupting.
- belter 3y agoWell...We are a no lesser Species in this planet, and this was just a freedom of navigation operation...
- AYBABTME 3y agoThese takes are trying to impose a weird "pure primitive world" take on something a pragmatic person would recognize for what it is. The orcas are messing with "weak" sailboats on purpose and leaving the "strong" boats alone. They're essentially bullying the sailboats. To admit this doesn't make you a specist and doesn't force you to also believe that the animals should be harmed, btw.
