    Well I’d be pissed off too if someone visited my home preceded to shit all over it.

    “A human was killed in Oceania” Or better “Something happened somewhere”

    Europe is quite vague.

      They DO say it’s southwestern Europe, where 90% of these stories have been coming from. You could just open the article and have read that instead of posting this stupid shit. It’s actually pretty good and isn’t even paywalled! You’d have known that if you did the bare minimum.

    Despite receiving aid from the Moroccan Navy and being towed toward safety, the boat eventually sank as it entered the port of Tanger-Med in Morocco. All passengers were safely evacuated to rescue boats before the ship sank.

    From another article on the same incident:

    Grazie Mamma was a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 449 measuring just over 13 meters in length. This fits the general description of the vessels targeted by orcas off Spain: According to researchers, the attacks always target sailing yachts measuring less than 15 meters long, usually while under way.

    That kind of boat is 45’ long (which is liveaboard-size for a family but still not much bigger than an RV), was at least six years old since they quit making them in 2017, and was worth somewhere between $150k and $250k. This one was was owned by a rental company, but it’s the kind of thing a middle-class family could afford if they decided to live on it full-time instead of owning a house.

    Translation: although this wasn’t a “cheap” boat, it was also very much not the deservedly-sunk billionaire’s superyacht you were hoping for. Unfortunately, the orcas aren’t hurting the right people.

      So you’re saying we need to genetically engineer larger orcas? How big are we talking, 700-800 meters long? Would it also be okay to shoehorn in the smartness gene that the sharks got in Deep Blue Sea? How about an invisibility gene, just for fun?

      So you’re saying, let’s maybe not hurry to vote for the Orcas Sinking People’s Boats party? That’s probably good advice actually.

        I don’t know what you have against the orcas sinking boats. Classic liberal propaganda, what’s this world coming to when orcas can’t even sink boats? I won’t be a sheep like you, the orcas day they don’t even sink boats and let me make up my own mind so Im voting for them.

      That’s quite sad. Sailboats are probably one of the most benign transportation and recreation vessels imaginable. Beautiful boats enjoyed by passionate and adventurous people.

    So basically what you’re saying is some Orcas saw a Miyazaki movie too many, amd said “yes. YES. that.”?
