That's why they use it. Intended to be a conversation-stopper. What can you say in response? This is not a rhetorical question.

Yah. Maybe they learned it from us. I can picture the poor damn whales saying the same thing.

Does no one understand they don't want to be speared?

Leave the fukkers alone.

It's their goddam cove; and it has been since millions of years before we learned a crude, violent, "mastery", of them.

They have a right to be there that far precedes the Macaw.

We may not know, how bad we are. Leave em alone. How much do we want from them?

Leave them alone.

There is no honor in killing that whale; if "one's ways" involve that kind of destruction; practice it on your selves.

Whales aren't interested in our goddam cultures.

They have a right not to be interested. And a right to inhabit the same planet we do. How do they defend themselves? The only defense they have is for us to realize how stupid we are.
