Maybe they wouldn't be ramming boats if we treated them more like friends and didn't trash their home.

No not at all, but unfortunately it's quite common for us humans to kill wild life that damages human property and/or threathens us or our offspring. It's basically our default reaction. Unless some biologist quickly comes up with a way to get the Orcas to stop attacking the yacts, it won't be more than a few years before we start seeing dead, most likely explosion damaged Orca carcasses start to wash ashore after some rich fuck pays someone to throw dynamite at them :(

Just because someone’s on a boat, means they are rich? And just because they are rich means they are evil? What the heck is wrong with you?

If they've saved money through the years AND found interest in the freedom of sailing (thus far more affordable and interesting vacations), they obviously must be evil. So says the internet

so you do realize that the "yachts" being attacked are small 30 to 45 ft sailboats owned by hobby sailors, these boats are barely even worth 80k when they are sold for the 2nd time which is where most people buy them, the term "yacht" is a general term rather than specifically describing boats bigger than 45 ft, which is often what the millionaires own! You know, the boats they can't sail and need a dedicated crew to maintain, while they sit around in luxury

The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is 10,000 times greater than the difference between a millionaire and an average American.
Anarchduke
Actually, the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is only a 1,000 times
Frogspoison
Average Net wealth of ppl under 35 is somewhere between 18k-76k based on the numbers from the first few google searches. So roughly 1.8-7.6% of a fresh millionaire. Average millionaire is at 2.2 million. The top 500 billionaires have average wealth of 15.5 billion. So an average millionaire is 29x richer then the average young, and the 20th percentile of billionaires is 6863x richer then that. I had to go back and triple check my numbers.

They're attacking small sailing yachts, smashing their rudders up, not massive motor boats. My Dad built several yachts like the ones being attacked and we had fuck all money.
SirWadeWilson
Thats because you owned a boat. You would have had money if it weren't for the biggest money pit of all time, boat ownership
iananimated
Haha shit you're right!
Crazycoke1994
I agree
TheRealArclight
BluPenguin
I get what you're saying, but honestly the size of a yacht owned by a millionaire, especially a billionaire is very unlikely to be affected by the biggest group of orcas. As smart as they are, ain't no orcas gonna flip a small cruise liner or cargo ship.
niflster
Certainly, but the majority of us aren't even close to being a millionaire. My boat cost me $5000ish, and serves my family well
schueyWrecker
P-P-P-PREACH!!!!!

Except the orcas aren't ramming billionaire's yachts, they're ramming thousandaire's sailboats. Like I get it we hate the oligarchs but that's not who is getting attacked here. Boats are not only owned by billionaires.

I was going to argue that you don’t need to be rich to own a small sailing yacht, but then I thought to ask my gf who grew up sailing with her grandfather. Turns out, yeah you kinda do need to be rich. Just renting a slip for the boat is stupid expensive.
montyman185
The bigger problem is that they're hitting boats that people use to make a living, tours and whatnot. Also, some people around me have sailboats on trailers and whatnot. Sure, boat owners are higher income, but not that high, especially if it's their main hobby.

I doubt a 40ft sailing yacht is one of those super evil rich people. It's about 30 feet to short at minimum.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
You get a grander at the douchebag that wrote it?
michaeloberg
40ft yachts are $100k minimum, with $10-20k/yr upkeep plus mooring fees of $500-3000k/mo. A good one is $250k, a nice one is $400k+. This is upper class shit in every way.

About the same as a big RV. Upper class doesn’t mean evil CEO overlord

SteepedGardenMrsChen
Ya well ppl hit deer all the time and you aren't crying about it. The amount of animals harmed or killed by human vehicles on land or sea far exceeds any harm done to humans. So suck it up. We don't hate on animals for being animals, especially when they are in their territory doing their own thing. You don't blame a bear attacking a hiker in the wild. You afraid of orcas? Don't go in the ocean. No reason for you to be there. Save your concern for the number of humans killed by other humans.
poochyena
I think people hitting deer is a bad thing too. I would blame a bear for attacking a human. Humans have as much right to be in the ocean as any other animal does. Humans aren't special.
MadamPuddifoot
A) when they are asshole billionaires, I think it's a great thing. B) orcas aren't killing people, they are playing with the boats, and the boats can't handle the pressure of their fast-paced play!
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Name a single person who died? Wait it's no one? The orcas just ripped the rudders off the boats and no one died?
poochyena
This isn't a one-off event, its continuing to happen and could result in a ship sinking and people dying.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Ok.. then maybe ban the boats from being in the area? It all started when a boat got a whale. That solves your problem.
