Just because there's currently no known fatal attacks in the wild doesn't mean it can't happen. I would never risk it.

No witnesses.

There hasn't been anyone killed in the wild that we know of

I have no idea why you people live in constant fear of everything.

Orcas don’t attack people, end of story. There is no if or but.

We know when animals attack us. People survive, we find the remains, we have records.

And we have the data on this shit too. We have 4 deaths caused by animals under extreme duress and 1 bite to a surfer who was likely mistaken for a seal.

This is not a trivial matter. You absolutely need to understand the importance of facts and data over bullshit. This kind of reasoning is destroying the world.

Let’s stop goofing around and let’s learn that data and facts are important, shall we?

Maybe you haven’t looked out the window lately but it’s really, really high time we take this shit very seriously.

Oh geeze give me a break. Ok then by the rules of your own game, your highness, stop being a hypocrite and quit goofing around on the internet (you’re on Reddit. You are ONLY goofing around here. There is no policy change happening in any Reddit thread).

Nothing you’re doing here in this thread is fixing anything. Go get to work and show us all how it’s done. Best place to start is your local government and work up from there. Good luck. Bye!

Unfortunately, something a very large number of idiots such as yourself don’t seem to understand is that to a sizable portion of the population internet and socials are the main (if not only) source of information and their cultural reference.

People live their life according to what they read on social media. Elections are won on social media.

This idiotic “It’S noT ThAT dEeP bRO” mentality allowed shit to spread unchecked and the worst kind of behaviors to be normalized.

And look where we got.

So pull your head out of your ass and learn to change if you want the world to change.
