The moratorium is actually since 2000, but only since 2006 in its current form. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_use_restriction_technology
Thankfully, no country, much less any multinational corporation, would ever dare cross the UN's nonbinding, unenforceable moratorium.

It probably should've been dolphins, just as a nod to H²G², but also because I'm not sure the scale of that Klingon BOP ever read as big enough for two whales to me.
But, some possible suspects: whales (maybe they are superintelligent, pan-dimensional beings and the business with the krill and the singing is just a front), whale keepers or collectors (maybe they've stocked Earth with an important livestock that they want to protect from the apes, or see TNG S3E22 "The Most Toys"), whale descendants (see VOY S3E23 "Distant Origins"), or a species that has determined that loss of the whales indicates humanity has become irredeemable (or a corrupted timeline).
What could be more human than that?
