Whale Wars.

i hate it for pretty much the same reasons stated already by a few people. its just more PETA style gorilla terrorism. If they want to be pirates, fine, then let the japanese whip out some cannons and blast away.

So by your reasoning, it's okay to encourage others to murder people for animals, but you don't want to actually do it yourself?

Here's a quick tidbit, Japan doesn't have cows on farms in their homeland hardly AT ALL. They don't have wide expanses of ground. Plus, why is it okay to kill the cows, but not whales? What makes a whale more special? They are both animals. The whole endangered routine is not for every species of whale(which is why the whaling commission is set up), and the species that are highly endangered are not targeted.

Again, if you disagree, you change the laws. If you want to go insist that your opinion is the way the entire world MUST think, and when told "Go away, everyone else is happy", you throw a tantrum and turn to terrorist acts, it's easy to see who the Bad Guy is. It's not the whalers.

The Sea Shepard is the same people who release people's dogs onto the busy highway and get dozen killed in a horrible way. Why? Becuase dogs shouldn't be "imprisoned" as our pets. Same folks who throw thousands of minks out into a ecosystem to die horrible deaths or to inflict untold damage on native species, because they disagree with fur.

How long until they come release your pets into the wild so they can be free and you have no choice in the matter because they are "right" and the law doesn't matter, because they are doing it for the 'animals rights'? How is it different?

I really wish those morons would sit down and think like normal human beings and come up with a better solution other then doing everything in their power to make themselves out to be some crazy left wing extremist group. I like what they stand for just not their methods.

Because, if they did, people might be apt to work with them. But then again, if they did, they wouldn't have their own t.v. show. It's interesting how each season gets a little more tense. I wonder how much the Animal Planet producers have influenced these actions for the sake of ratings? And how long do you think it will be before they get cameras on the whaling ships to show their side. And how long do you think it will be before alot of the fishermen from Deadliest Catch start showing up in Japan to join the whaling fleets. I said "fleets" because yes there are more than one. Strange how Sea Shepherd only goes after the same boats year after year.(Hmmm, Animal Planet behind the scenes again).

I work night shifts and watch two or three episodes every Sunday. I really enjoy watching it, and it does make me very sad :(

I just don't understand it at all, killing animals for the sole purpose of making a dime? Animals that can't repopulate in a year or two???

I guess my family sort of kills animals for money, but it's a pig farm. Pigs are by no means endagered or on the verge of it.
