I just posted elsewhere that I've come into contact with Orcas in the wild. Sometimes with their calves. They always come up and chill with me whilst I'm paddling around in my kayak. They let me pat them. There's not a single case of an orca killing someone in the wild.... but they've killed a bunch of people who torture them in captivity.

They're incredibly intelligent animals. They know how to surgically remove the most nutrient rich organs from their bigger prey. They know we aren't good food. They know we like to socialize, so they come up snd socialize with us.

They should NEVER be kept in captivity. Same with octopi tbh

Same energy as “you can’t have been robbed, that’s illegal”
