    And if either of your ideas were actual viable someone would have tried it always. But your plans risk injuring the orcas, which you can’t do because they’re endangered.

      If they attack my vessel I have every right to respond and defend my vessel. It’s even easier if I’m in international waters.

          They wouldn’t, I’d zap them or throw half sticks of dynamite overboard to scare them away.

          Hmmm harpoons are effective against whales… maybe if I added a cattle prod tip it would make it a great “non-lethal” deterrent…
