"We deeply regret the lose of any sea life." Plows into whale and keeps going. Conservation? Nailed it! (Literally to the front of your ship.)

Plows into whale and keeps going

Should they have stopped after hitting it? Then what?

I mean, yes? Trains stop to scrape deer off the front. Not like they are pulling up to the station with Bambi plastered across the front.

I think it's more like getting in a wreck while drunk driving where the problem isn't that you crashed

Did they know? I doubt they did. There's no way they thought it was good PR to sail with it. It also wastes fuel and can damage thrusters if it becomes loose when thrusting to moore the ship to port.
