If they killed them because their ship was under attack and they feared for their lives after 4 past sinkings and no navy nearby to help, I'm pretty sure people would find it reasonable.

It took 45minutes, that's long enough to get videos, call for help, maybe try to scare them off and then start harpooning them.

You aren't likely going to survive in a lifeboat when they're taking down your yacht.

If it happens even more, they'll he hunted in the region not just immediate self defense. We don't let killer bears just keep killing.
