Blasting underwater tunes to try and keep killer whales away is a bad idea for multiple reasons, a researcher says.

    It sounds like if we eliminated or deterred the Orcas who are exhibiting this behavior it would stop others from learning it. No?

      Orcas are endangered, so no, you can’t go around trying to shock them or blow them up.

        Never stated I wanted to blow them up. If they attack my rudder I want to ensure the safety of my crew and scare them away from the boat.

          And if either of your ideas were actual viable someone would have tried it always. But your plans risk injuring the orcas, which you can’t do because they’re endangered.

            If they attack my vessel I have every right to respond and defend my vessel. It’s even easier if I’m in international waters.

              No, you don’t actually, tough guy.

              If you ever get a boat, I hope the orcas eat it.

                They wouldn’t, I’d zap them or throw half sticks of dynamite overboard to scare them away.

                Hmmm harpoons are effective against whales… maybe if I added a cattle prod tip it would make it a great “non-lethal” deterrent…

        Your a moron, no one has been documented trying. Go flap that uneducated cock holster somewhere else.

          Yeah, they have. Just because you have the bare minimum brain cells to stay alive and don’t know shit about the subject doesn’t mean it hasn’t been done before.

              It’s cute that you think I care. Well, I do, cos shit like this is why the world is falling apart. But your personal attacks hold no weight against me. I ain’t a pretty person, I’ve been insulted all my life, this is nothing compared to what I’ve heard. But then, that’s probably on me for expecting better from you. Especially since I have plenty of evidence that your intelligence is questionable…

                LMAO, the first three words of your first comment to me was an insult. Now you complain about my personal attacks and try to take the high road.

                Do you always pick fights and then act like a bitch when you get hurt?

                  I didn’t complain, merely stated they don’t bother me. But you have a room temperature IQ, so expecting you to pick up on nuance isn’t gonna happen. my apologies for not talking in single word sentences so you’d understand.

                    Room temperature IQ? I’ve been called far worse by better people. Go flap your cock holster somewhere else you little bitch.
