      Worf: They were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.

      Odo : Wiped out? What are you saying?

      Worf : Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the tribbles’ home world. By the end of the twenty third century they had been eradicated.

      Odo : Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the great tribble hunt?

        Yeah, I know… I just don’t get it. They would cram them in a container and at least try it, I think.

          I imagine the cuteness factor is also antithetical to Klingon culture. Like the ongoing joke of Klingon “dungeons” being filled with stuffed animals, cuddling, and tickling.

            True, but eating them on a planetary level would counteract that, no? They could breed them to bite, even.

              Section 31 saw to that detail a century later. I’m sure some were eaten, but Klingon thinking is like a blunt instrument: simple and lacking nuance.

                Man, I thought I was fairly well versed in Trek, but this is next level. I had to look it up. Here I was thinking that they might eat them out of spite and anger.
