No go on, you're in the thread about Orcas turning on people, give us your theory you gun-totin rootin-tootin hard man.

I’m not a marine biologist, I don’t have a theory on Orca aggression.

I just know what would keep them from damaging a boat and would most likely deter them from attacking again in the future. High voltage and underwater explosions are pretty well understood by all creatures.

So you know nothing about orcas but you definitely know what would deter them in the future. Got it.

I mean logic dictates that a half stick of dynamite or 2000 Volts of electricity going off in their face would deter most if not all terrestrial creatures that we know of.
