SOULFUL SCIENCE:
🔸Dangerous myth busted about orcas 'attacking' luxury sailing boats🔸- 050824
Yes, it has been a lot about the Orcas lately, but what is happening to the Orcas is important for other species as well.
When we believe animals have ill intent (e.g. they want to hurt us or seek revenge), we get fearful.
And when fear is involved, we rarely see the whole picture. It is so easy to throw around labels and make them our truth. Like Orcas are vengeful and out to sink boats just to «get even».
How many boaters out there freak out when they see Orcas?
You’ll learn there’s a whole lot of them if you read the article. And they have gone to extreme measures to keep the curious whales away.
My heart bleeds!
I see this all the time; people are afraid of wild animals and in an effort to protect themselves from the perceived threat, they end up harming innocent animals.
Please take the time to read this. The world’s leading expert on Orca behaviour have travelled to the Gibraltar strait to observe and her conclusion is far from what the mainstream media have portrayed it as.
Frightened sailors have been using razor blades, explosives and petrol to chase away the orcas, but it could have a devastating impact. Find out why.
