Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. But why?: Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning. Orcas have attacked and sunk a third boat off the Iberian coast of Europe, and experts now believe the behavior is being copied by the rest of the population. Three orcas (Orcinus orca), also known as killer whales, struck the yacht on the night of May 4 in the Strait of Gibraltar, off the coast of Spain, and pierced the rudder. "There were two smaller and one larger orca," skipper Werner Schaufelberger told the German publication Yacht. "The little ones shook the rudder at the back while the big one repeatedly backed up and rammed the ship with full force from the side." Two days earlier, a pod of six orcas assailed another sailboat navigating the strait. Greg Blackburn, who was aboard the vessel, looked on as a mother orca appeared to teach her calf how to charge into the rudder. "It was definitely some form of education, teaching going on," Blackburn told 9news. Reports of aggressive encounters with orcas off the Iberian coast began in May 2020 and are becoming more frequent, according to a study published June 2022 in the journal Marine Mammal Science. Study: 24,000 Fewer Abortions in U.S. Following Dobbs Decision: A new study estimates there were 24,290 fewer legal abortions between July 2022 and March 2023, after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Will Fire 15% of Its Staff Nationwide: Pro-Life Americans will have another reason to celebrate the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision this month. That’s because the Planned Parenthood abortion business is laying off 15% of its staff nationwide as more states pass laws protecting babies from abortion. Nearly one year after the Dobbs decision allowed states to legally protect unborn children, Planned Parenthood officials say they’re preparing to restructure the organization’s national office and lay off dozens of staff members. About 80 people are expected to be let go as Planned Parenthood cuts employees to tighten its belt as it makes less money from killing babies. Maybe they have a job to do in Revelation, and are practicing? Wow! Or Whoa....!! Many plans are in a man's heart, but the purpose of the Lord will prevail. prov 19:21
