We already have some cultural friction over our relationships with animals, especially those that we perceive as being capable of higher intelligence. If we could actually communicate with them and they said they're angry at how we treat them and the ocean, humans would argue endlessly over whale rights, some even engaging in violence on behalf of the whales. We already see this to an extent with animal rights protests. Intelligent whales that can speak on their own behalf would crank that up to eleven.

>>16976364>they're angry at how we treat themI can see how the whole hunting them and eating their flesh could cause some friction
>>16976364Whales yes, but not orcas. They deserve a good population reduction
>>16976351>and they have high concept thinking.About what.Whats a whale going to talk about.Maybe a cosmogony myth?
