Animal communication – why do orcas attack sailing boats?

21. Jul 2023

Orcas have been attacking sailing boats off the southern Spanish and Portuguese coasts since 2020. There were also attacks in the Strait of Gibraltar. The goal of the orcas is obviously to damage the rudder. It is not their intention to sink the sailing boats, but unfortunately it has happened a few times.

Using animal communication, I spoke to the orcas and asked them for the reason of their attacks. And also if I can help them in any way.

The answer of the orcas

They replied that they attack the sailing boats to wake up the people. To make themselves heard, to fight back, because the oceans are being fished empty and they can no longer find enough food. In this way they can get attention and also get attention in the media. They don’t dare to attack the very large fishing boats. They don’t want to hurt anyone or sink the boats. But unfortunately sometimes that happens.

They just don’t want to stand still and watch as they find less and less food and the oceans become more and more polluted.

They also said that I can help them by listening to them. And by sending them my love. I can also help because I can positively influence the earth with my love, vibration and frequency. And to get her message out there so that many people will wake up and understand that it is vital for all of us not to fish the oceans dry and stop ocean pollution.

After talking to the orcas, I had the idea of ​​donating to organizations that work to save the oceans and their creatures. If you know of such an organization, I would be grateful for suggestions!

And I am also very grateful if you share this message! The more people know about it, the better for the orcas and all sea creatures!

Update:

So far I found two organisations I want to support:

Here you can even „adopt“ a whale or dolphin:

And this organisation is even supported by Depeche Mode:

We are Heike Adam, designer and painter and Rainer Kauffelt, system administrator and photographer and live in Sulzbach/Taunus near Frankfurt. In the Eichhoernchenblog we would like to share our knowledge about squirrels as well as show the photos we take almost daily of our Sulzbach squirrels.

Squirrel photography

How we photograph our squirrels. A little excursion into camera technology. It would be much easier to photograph a book of vine snails. They don't run away quite as fast... 😉 Basically, squirrels can be photographed reasonably well with any camera. Even smartphones...

How the book was written

Today I would like to tell in detail how the book came into being. I always wanted to write a book about squirrels, that is, since the squirrel passion gripped me. But there was always so much else to do, so I postponed this project. The year before last I finally...

The Hessenschau at the Sulzbach squirrels

Today I would like to report in detail about the visit of the Hessenschau with us. We were both very excited and Rainer had taken extra vacation. Because of the squirrels, which come in winter rather only in the morning, we have made an extra early appointment with...
