I am particularly suspicious about the contention that orcas never kill humans in the wild, because (1) I doubt it's true, and (2) under normal circs, humans don't interact with orcas, so it's not a meaningful comparison. When I feel that the argument is weak, it makes me suspicious of what's being left out. I've also read so much inspiring stuff about dolphin research that it's really hard for me to imagine that people who are so committed to dolphins don't give a hoot about orcas.

Of course, I could be wrong. It's happened once or twice before.

I should have stated, I was actually looking at what Ann had in black. sorry. That's my one for the day.
