Sailors,Killer Whales,Attacks

Sailors in southwestern Europe have been struggling with an increase in attacks. Animal behaviouralists say they don't know why killer whales are acting this way. Sailors have started to blast out heavy metal music through underwater speakers in a bid to stop killer whales ramming boats in southwestern Europe. Such attacks have become a big problem in the region — but animal behaviouralists have no idea why they are on the rise or what is causing the creatures to act this way. It has got so bad that pods of killer whales have even been known to damage boats and capsize vessels, with sailors resorting to desperate measures in an effort to deter the attacks. Some say playing heavy metal music is a 'game changer' in tackling the problem, but others aren't convinced. Boat operators have shared their tips on social media platforms such as Facebook, including via a group called 'Orca Attack Reports' which has 60,000 members.
