Interesting that removing their choice of when and where to eat isn’t considered harm…
I imagine that once these get used in yachts for a while the pods will stop being familiar with attacking. It seems the end game customer of this is the fishing industry. Maybe it’s helpful because it will keep whales away from nets. But there appears to be a massive potential for incentivized over use here with no one the wiser… until 20 years later when we’re asking why whale sightings are declining.
