Whales are reasonably smart, right? Surely they have a sort of distress call, something like "There's nasty stuff here, stay away"? I'm sure most animals have something along these lines, it's a pretty basic communication need.
So what's stopping Greenpeace from developing a sonic gadget that broadcasts this signal loudly as they follow the japanese fleet? Wouldn't this make the whales scatter and stay away from the harpoons?
Ah but they have. They deploy the sound of a baby whale in distress to ATTRACT the whales because it suits their political agenda...
Blue whales, blue m&ms... it all fits.
