Are orcas racist?

Shouldn’t be. They’re black and white.

From Kierland’s link:

“On May 4, three orcas rammed into a Swiss yacht called Champagne sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar, reports Yacht magazine. After the first bump, crew members thought the vessel had collided with something, but they quickly realized orcas were pummeling the yacht. The situation eventually became so dire the ship’s crew had to call the coast guard, which sent rescuers. As they towed the boat toward a nearby port, it sank from the damage it had sustained.

Werner Schaufelberger, the vessel’s 72-year-old skipper, tells Yacht magazine that the two smaller orcas shook the rudder while the bigger one rammed the ship from the side. ”

Based on Swiss, yacht, and Schaufelberger…I’d say these were whites being attacked.

Boaters are looking pretty pale in this video:

I'm thinking a "critical moment of agony” for "White Gladis" is a bunch of anthropomorphic mental masturbation.

Along with a lot if new ways to monitor and watch our planet.

It’s not a question of if it’s a thing or not, it absolutely is. Look at any dog, horse, person that has been abused and see how they react to shit. The only real question is- is that what happened here?

Something other than predators and prey doing what they do? Are you suggesting... DOOM?!?

Why would a penquin trust humans? How would it know to jump in a boat? How would it trust orcas not to follow?

Because anything that isn't trying to eat its face looks like a viable alternative to certain death? Is that hard to understand? A floating raft probably looks like a place where a whale isn't. Might as well give it a try. When the humans didn't try to eat it, penguin probably figured he'd see how this works out for a few minutes. If the orcas follow, penguin would resume swimming. I can't imagine how this is hard to conceptualize.

Why did the orcas leave the boats full of white people alone in the Antarctic, but are ramming boats full of black people in the Mediterranean?

Because somebody stole their bike?

It’s a dolphin not a whale you immensely ignorant asshat.

All the conservatives would want to beat the killer whale to death because it's a transient.
