The ocean: state of impending catastrophe

Humans: can we make another kind of cheese from them?

I wonder if there's a hidden whale/dolphin society debating whether or not to invade humans right this very moment

If whales are smart enough to debate that, they probably have cultural memory of almost getting whaled to extinction. Which would make them like us less, but on the other hand, might make them afraid to get us too upset at them

Perhaps it'll make your day better to know that Pacific nations have passed legislation recognising legal personhood for whales and dolphins, granting them rights against being hunted?
