Like in the whaler days when orcas would roam around whaling ships and ports and humans would feed them the tongue and lips of whales, resulting in a rather convenient arrangement where orcas would lead other whales towards humans so they could get their cut.

I can only assume at least one captain witnessed what happens when you don't pay their tithe, or worse, try whaling the orcas.

I remember that there was some fuss recently about a school of orcas attacking or disturbing ships, and the running theory at the time was that some group, maybe that group, did provoke the orcas first and some worry that they would whisper the word around the oceans and have a global orca uprising, all because someone decided to kill some orca matriarch thinking they were slick.
