***From The Telegraph’s Europe Editor, James Crisp:***
A vengeful killer whale called Gladis is teaching gangs of orcas to attack yachts around Gibraltar, and has already sunk three boats.
It may read like something out of Moby Dick, but in this case the truth is stranger than fiction. Researchers believe that a female orca called White Gladis has been seeking revenge after being traumatised by a collision with a boat or being trapped in illegal fishing nets.
Gladis’s attacks are now being copied by the rest of the nearby killer whale population, which have learnt how to ram vessels from their ringleader.
Rightfully so. People shouldn’t bother wild animals, especially not cetaceans. Those fuckers are hella smart. Also, no one needs a yacht.
Earning their name.
Richard Harris tried to warn us.
..and so began the bloody whale wars which first ended in 2144 when the whales decided to pull the drain plugs of the oceans and escaped from the planet in their golden pyramids.
I dont wanna be that guy, but that orca needs to go
An unexpected ally has joined the working class in its fight against the bourgeoisie.
Yacht tipping. Fun times for orcas. What do you say when a Russian yacht is upended? Orc, meet Orca.
“Gibraltar is ours!” said the Spanish orca.
Even the whales are fed up with the rich.
As someone that has read “the Swarm”:
You might want to move away from the north sea coast just about now…
Do they just sink the boats and leave the humans alone?
