    I watched blackfish, one of the former trainers at Seaworld, went out to study orcas in the ocean. He was in awe; he saw active animals, travelling long distances, straight dorsal fins, working as a team to hunt and train the youngsters. Whilst he was a trainer, he was told that collapsed dorsal fins were normal, the lethargy and aggression amongst pod members was normal. He found that was hardly any aggression in wild pods

      Orcas are one of the few animals who engage in surplus killing. That's killing for reasons outside of eating, training the young and defending themselves. They are amazing apex predators, but certainly aggressive and quite cruel to many animals

    I spent over 20 years working at a wastewater treatment facility in Washington state. It was next to a harbor connected to the Pacific Ocean. I retired and came back to walk the beach near the plant, which is next door to a wildlife refuge. As a walked along, I noticed some activity in the water about 100 meters from the shoreline. I was then treated to an orca chasing fish parallel to the beach! It was a beautiful, crisp late summer day and I only wish I had a camera worthy of taking a few photos. My cell phone camera really didn’t do the scene justice.

      Err... three are not multiples? XD
      And I was not referring only to Tilikum, in total 5 persons have been killed by captive Orcas, and 30 more have been hurt, often badly, some lost arms or legs. Because captivity for orcas are very close to torture, they're in tanks that are just too little for them ^^'

      2. You wrote your comment 2 months ago so how it didn't happen yet?
      3. How its not an attack? The orcas have been attacking boats for a long time so this isnt just some one time thing.
      4. "Yeah, I confirm no wild orcas have ever hurt humans" yes, by you.

      6. If you searched swimming with orcas then of course then you can find those results. Its a big money grab for a lot of people.
      7. There hasnt been 5 killings in captivity by an orca. Only 3 which were caused by Tilikum. If you have proof then I will believe you.
      8. "And 30 more have been hurt, often badly" again, where is proof. There has been at seaworld somewhere 5 or 9 attacks by an orca. Seaworld lists every injury that happens even when you get a scratch that is not caysed by an orca.
      9. "Some lost arms or legs" well that is wild. I do think that woild have really reached the media and those places would be shut down. But again, where is your proof?
      10. How is it close to torture when you have dont have to hunt for food, get clean water that you can swim in, lots of love and especially seaworlds orcas have the biggest pools. Also we dont know how they feel so you cant force what you feel about it as a "fact" on how they feel.

    Vancouver was one of the first places in the world to have a captive orca. That was in the mid-sixties. As a child, I remember orcas being thought of as a menace. Despite that belief, the Vancouver Aquarium ended up with one; she was named Skana. As school children, we went to see Skana and watched her perform in the small pool they provided for her. Anything we believed prior to her capture was completely forgotten; Vancouver fell in love with its orca.
    One of the marine biologists decided to study her behavior,. At one point, he came to the conclusion that he was the object of the experiment - not her. This is how we discovered how intelligent orcas were. Vancouver no longer has captive orcas; we prefer to see them in the wild. There is nothing like seeing a pod from the deck of a ferry while crossing the Salish Sea. It is a sight to behold.

Orcas engage in surplus killing as much as any animal that we are aware of, that's killing for reasons outside of sustenance, defense and training of their young. Cruelty and intelligence certainly seem to go hand in hand

      Nah it’s a myth. Sharks do mistake surfers for seals sometimes but they don’t really care that much, great whites have phenomenal eyesight and the ability to sense electromagnetic waves through the water. More often than not sharks know a human isn’t a seal, but meat is meat in the eye of a shark. Orcas are much more complex due to their far higher intelligence.

    Evolution usually does the bare minimum. Orcas seem to be one of the rare creatures, similar to humans, who’ve been blessed so much by natural selection, that they don’t really need to worry about predation or starvation. They’re not just apex predators, they’re an oppressive force that no other creature would dare cross. It’s almost like they’re relics of a bygone era full of much deadlier prey and much stiffer competition.
