    It's a lot like when we "share" our worms with fish.

      Pacific cultures have long oral histories referencing altruistic and cooperative behavior from Orcas.

      There have been exactly 0 known deadly attacks from wild orcas in history.

      There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
