I'm glad orcas have finally had enough of our shit.

I am wholly and unironically on the orcas' side here.

I'm just worried that people will start shooting them. Otherwise I agree.
38 2 ReplyOrcas mourn, that would be downright fucking insane. Elephants mourn and will literally track you for months to trample your ass for killing one of them.
34 0 Reply2nd amendment rights for orcas. Strap some 50cal machine guns, waterproofed, to their heads Dr Evil style.
25 2 ReplyThey should be safe. Richard Harris has been dead for a while.

The orcas thought the humans wanted to start a mosh pit.
72 0 ReplyThey were just head banging.
Probably should have used new-country.

I knew exactly what I was getting into here and you didn’t disappoint. Damn I miss their show.

Making the Orcas feel like Doom guy when the music kicks in will surely stop them.
19 0 ReplyOf course not, do they not play Doom? It makes orcas 100% more metal.

Film at 11.
PS: ... keep the whales at bay? I sea what you did, marine biopunologist.
15 0 ReplyYou mean like Bay Area trash metal? Metallica, Slayer, Death Angel?
1 0 ReplyAs well as a bay being a body of water where whales can be.

This could make a great Metalocalypse episode.
13 0 ReplyAre there any videos of this happening? Any videos at all?
12 1 ReplyMandatory Orca Mosh Pit is my new punk band name
10 0 ReplyIs one of reasons that orcas love to mosh?
6 0 ReplyThere's whole lot of genres of music to shuffle through before we may find the genre that drives away orcas. Maybe there's no genre of music that drives away orcas. You know how people say of ethnic groups they don't belong to that y'all look alike to us? Maybe all human music sounds alike to orcas.
5 0 ReplyWe should try polka. Nobody wants to listen to polka.
11 0 ReplyYou'd be surprised at some of the sleeper hits. It's inherent in all genres that one composition will just blow your mind.
...or maybe I just like polka and avoid the weird looks by only having one song on the ipod. Maybe.

Dubstep might do it.

They aren't "pummeling boats", they're headbanging ffs
5 7 ReplyAnd they're dragging the boat into a mosh pit

Yeah, let's start an orca mosh pit. That'll fix 'em!
8 10 ReplyA half stick of dynamite or a few M80s would drive them off. However customs could be difficult with explosives on board.
Personally I think a about 110volts at 2200ohms should do the trick, just put a few electrodes in the water near your rudder and turn up the juice. Should be pretty easy to conceal from customs. Blackfish will learn quick to avoid the zappy boat…

44 3 ReplyAre you saying a half stick of dynamite or 2000 volts of electricity next to an Orca’s head won’t run them off or stop them?

This is why the orcas are attacking us. And we clearly deserve it.
34 5 ReplyPerhaps but if they endanger the safety of a vessel with people aboard then it’s time to light off some explosives or fill the water with electricity.
