OK real talk if we start understanding whales and they have lives and feelings. What are we gonna do about compensation for using their property and destroying it. Like are we gonna genocide the whales when we discover we owe them like a trillion dollars

Do they have any documentation it was their property? No? Well, we're going to genocide them anyway, that's our thing.
