The attacks are happening from the Moroccan side of the straits of Gibraltar all the way up to the north of Portugal and the bay of Biscay.

All of the yachts attacked are under 20 metres, not owned by billionaires and a lot of them are liveaboards who have sold everything up to go travelling.

The attacks are thought to be from the result of over fishing along the Portuguese coast as well as incidents between those fishing boats and Orca pods yet it's smaller boats that are being attacked.

So it's not the 1% getting fucked but others as a result of their actions, yet again. (The reason suspected that this pod is attacking boats is because of sports fishermen attacking younger Orcas)
