I dare to suggest that in a very early incident, the owners of a yacht fired a gun on the whales and killed one. Then, the pod is attacking any similar yacht around the area.
Is that behavior unique to killer whales? Of course not.
Crows also attack people - https://mothership.sg/2024/07/crow-attack-tampines-hdb-bleeding-scalp/ https://mothership.sg/2024/07/crow-attack-tampines-hdb-bleed...
In every case of crow attacks, someone had pruned earlier the city trees and in the process the crow chicks fell from the nests and died.
A group of crows is called a murder.

- silverquiet 2y agoI’ve had this thought since reading about Orcas attacking yachts; it seems inevitable that the humans will do what they usually do when threatened. You can buy a fifty-caliber rifle fairly readily in the US which I believe will disable most vehicles when fired at the engine block. I’m far from an expert but I suspect that will severely injure just about any mammal. And obviously humans hunted even large whales historically, so the techniques and equipment must be known to some.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoUnsure, but it’s a bit of a secret that people in the area carry guns to protect from orcas..
