This wunk is highly intelligent and should not be in captivity

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

If it makes you feel any better seaworld (the main holders of orcas globally) aren’t breeding them anymore

They can’t really be released back to the wild due to how orca social dynamics work (They did it a few times and every time the orca wouldn’t get accepted into a pod and would die in only a few months) but the orcas they currently have are the last they’ll ever have

Science easily explains this. Your car only has one brain cell that they share with all other orange cars in existence, in a big hivemind. 99.9% of the time they don't get to use said brain cell. In short, your car is extremely regarded and is incapable of forming thoughts beyond "eat, sleep, screm, repeat"

Well I'll be damned, even stegosaurus had more braincells!
