i think this is exactly why “experts” and conservationists are hesitant to label this as possible aggression or retaliation
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Thanks for sharing! Few things I didn't understand.

"One Orca costs about a hundred million dollars".
* I thought to myself, are aquariums (those financially supporting the aquariums) paying a hundred million dollars for an Orca? I didn't believe it so I did a quick Google search.
SEEMS that 100 million number is HIGHLY inflated.

"Frostbite" "to put it simply, the water was too cold".
* I thought Orcas could survive in icy water.
So I did a quick Google search. It seems it MAY be debatable but regardless, why didn't/couldn't they control the water temperature?

Cleary says Xena got rid of her tags/beacon.
Then says she was noticed by the filming crew of Frozen Planet 2. They recognized her BY THE TAG...
