I've been thinking about the righteousness of my actions over the last short while, say, since the start of the Butterfly V Oilguys war (ISIS) and the little Peninsula v The Giant Parents war (Crimea and the parents who just will not stop bashing each other).
I've been going far more righteous and such than I usually do and I've felt good about all my interactions over this time, except for one.
The Whales.
I've been trying to formulate a law that would allow more whaling but I've been failing, Miserably. First I tried making whaling less safe while extending the distance from shore, this ended badly, only the North Koreans got more whales and they got a bunch of diseases as the whales were related to the NK people, this did all kinds of wrong things to the biosphere. Then we tried to focus on the diseased and hated animals in the herd, this caused even more problems, then we tried to reduce the numbers hunted and this made all sorts of radiological problems.
So, I'm stumped, despite my best efforts and what amounts to the world resources, I've only made a mess of this situation, so, I must apologize for meddling in this manner in this matter and hope that someone has a better idea of how to interact with this species in a way that makes them more compatible in our food chain.
So, in lieu with my reducing responsibilities, I would like to return responsibility for these animals to the 22nd century Federation and its counterparts in this era, if I am pulpified send my plankton bloated carcass to SETI.
So, what should we do about whaling? Accepting suggestions.
