Have they considered befriending the whales, or at least bribing them?

Killer Whales and humans have a long history of friendship and cooperative hunting. The orcas would lead people to large balleen whales, and the humans would spear them, taking most of the meat, but leaving the lips and tongue as payment to the Orcas.

This was before we turned their habitat into a toxic sludge superfreeway and exterminated their food supply.
