Orcas Sink tourist yacht

I would say no, the Orcas choose their favorite sailboat and part of that ceremony involves being on the seafloor, Orcas may use enhanced interrogation techniques to encourage the hull to move towards the seafloor but they don't destroy the sailboats.

It is Al Qaeda that is evil and creates these sailboats!

Orcas are on our side on the Global War On Bouyancy.

    Orcas are very picky eaters. Particular groups might specialize in eating one thing like fish and avoid eating other things even to the point of starving, while other Orca pods that pass through the same area will mainly eat marine mammals.

    Thing is, at some point in history, a trend-setter for the pod chose to eat that one thing and teach that to the pod...

    Right now, no Oracas eat humans or even attack humans, but once a trend-setter decides humans might be a good snack, and she tells the rest of her pod... Well, the ocean will be a more frightening place.

    They've already taken the first step in that direction.

    I thought we taste like shit and are extremely inefficient as a meal, if sharks are a decent culinary judge

    Well, we taste like pork, so anything that would eat a pig will eat us. We are probably pretty tasty if a bit lean compared to seals. I think sharks don't eat people for a similar reason to why orcas don't, we don't live in the ocean so we are too different from their natural prey and animals don't like to diverge from their known food sources much.
