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

I’m firmly Team Orca.

+1

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

They target small sailing boats that do no harm.

It's like attacking children because their parents are bad.

I'm just worried that people will start shooting them. Otherwise I agree.

Orcas 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.

Theories are that this is how it started.

Richard Harris could tell us what a bad idea shooting one turned out to be. Apparently not enough people have seen Orca, because that shit was scary.

Wow, that seemed like a very revealing trailer. Arguably don't need to see the movie now, I guess they did 'em differently back then.
