Man is fined after trying to 'body slam' killer whale
Officials in New Zealand who were tipped off to the social media video described the man’s behavior as “stupid” and “extremely irresponsible.”
Mf lucky he didn’t get his liver ate.
The man yells “I touched it” to the other people on the boat and then asks “Did you get that?” in an apparent reference to whether his encounter with the orca was successfully filmed. He then tries to touch the animal again. Other people aboard the vessel can be heard laughing and cheering in the background.
Fuck it, fine them too.
Eh, they might've been cheering for the orca.
My sources have it that one guy in the back was just cheering for the cheering.
He tried and failed.
If he had successfully body slammed a killer whale and the whale returned the favor, would he have succeeded or failed?
Historians of the future will remark that we lived in a time when "many humans were so stupid they forgot wild animals can kill them easily".
That is the funniest possible picture that could have accompanied that headline. It’s like he’s a fucking aquatic creature himself 🤣
That's not too fair. Poor guy. Someone has to fight back. Are we sure it wasn't self-defense? Maybe they were trying to sink his yacht?
Incredibly idiotic. Wow.
"Stop fucking with the orcas! They already be attacking ships at random, you're just gonna piss 'em off even more!"
According to a video I watched yesterday, it’s not random, it’s because they’re bored teenagers
Hilariously I left this post then scrolled down just a few posts and found this. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/24/killer-whales-attacking-sinking-boats-are-bored-scientists-say/73558157007/
That's just what they're telling people so that we don't find out that the orcas are accelerationists to class war. They see what's really going on.
Probably same for the orcas
I first read it as "Man is fine after trying to 'body slam' killer whale" expecting a meh orca encounter.
"body slam"
Guy like barely grazes it.
Keyword being "trying"
Could have made Darwin proud that day. Alas, a slap on the wrist in the form of a $600 fine and they live to harass another whale in the future.
Really should have gotten some time in a cell to reflect on his stupidity
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED IN THE OCEAN OF MADNESS
I thought kiwis were more tame than aussies
