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

    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…
