As much as I love orcas, it is indeed quite brutal seeing those battles play out between orcas and large whales. Gives you chill bumps and reminds you how tough nature is.
However, I've never heard of orcas routinely killing for sport, especially large whales. Is there an article or study you know of? It is not an easy kill for them, and I was under the impression that they do it for certain delicacies. For example, they will kill great white sharks specifically to eat their livers, which is insanely high in calories, and then nothing else of the shark.
