Incidents involving animals exhibiting seemingly vengeful behavior have sparked curiosity about their emotional capacities. Reports of orcas sinking yachts and elephants attacking a woman have raised questions about animal motivations. While most scientists argue that animals lack the ability to plan revenge as humans do, some believe there is more complexity to animal emotions. Author Philip Hoare notes that orcas appear to display anger, pointing out the intense relationship humans have with these creatures and their potential responses to mistreatment.
A pod of killer whales disables the rudders of idling yachts in the Strait of Gibraltar, sinking three ships, highlighting animal behavior in retribution.
Most scientists agree that animals do not possess the multifaceted emotional capacity to plot out a highly specific saga of retribution.
Philip Hoare suggests that animals may indeed feel anger, stating, 'I think they're certainly pissed off,' noting the unique relationship whales have with humans.
The orca attacks off the Iberian coast captured attention, with sea captains helplessly watching as the whales rammed into their vessels.
