    its not my favorite but really "look at me i can throw acid on a ship and destroy whale meat because i think its going to stop whalers", no thats not how it works you ruin the meat of one whale and they are going to dump it and find another whale to kill, this kind of stuff happens get over it you dont need to be on a ship harrasing some people that you cant stop!

    I agree. They have good intentions, but they endanger a lot of people trying to stop something they really can't stop. I can't watch the show personally

    Re: Whale Wars.

    I do like the show and understand where their coming from with wanting to protect the whales. I do believe the Japs are wrong for hunting whales for meat. There are many other animals out there (beef, chicken, turkey, pig, sheep, fish, crab) that are fast producing and can be found easily in their country. But instead they decide to they want to go out, come to our whale sanctuary, lie to our faces, and kill these wonderful creatures for their meat. It's awful, and after seeing the episode where they killed the whale, it is in my opinion very inhumane..the whale struggled for a half hour on that line, choking on it's own blood before the men finally shot it. This is wrong no matter how you look at it.

    However..I do not agree with the Sea Sheperds ways and strategies. I have told my fiance and friends many times already that it's a good thing I'm not on that ship or things would be going very differently. For one, a whole lot more then just stink bombs would be thrown on those ships, I would make sure we also have an LRAD and would launch it every night right at them, Also..that helicopter would be used a whole lot more then just for an overview object. I would make sure it carried a heavy enough object that when dropped from a certain height, would break through the ship's deck and cause some real damage. Also, on this last episode where they tried to put their ship to cut the transfer line from the whaling ship to the processing ship, I would have had both small boats out there with sharp knives, or even battery chainsaws to cut those ropes..

    All in all...what I am trying to say..is if your going to do something..go all the way..not half...cause in the end..what is the half really saving?

    Whales shmales. What about shark fin soup? I believe the sharks harvest for eastern countries is far more devastating for sharp populations... can I back that up? Nope. Don't have the numbers in front of me.

    You then, are just the same as people that shoot Doctors that perform abortions and bomb abortion clinics. The only difference is that while they do it to save human life, you would do it to protect animal life. The intent is exactly the same as is the reasoning and legitimacy of the acts.

    Re: Whale Wars.

    I may talk a lot of talk, but in all the reality of it all. The things I said are just things that I would like to see happen..I doubt very much so that I would ever have the heart to really cause physical harm to any person (unless they were threatening my family, friends or pets)..I do consider myself a very huge animal lover. I believe in protecting endangered and all animal life at almost any cost..but at the same time..I don't truely want to see death come from the outcome...But there are times when you can either have one or the other, either there is no death and animals suffer, or there is death, but the animals are protected in the long run. I am one of the very few people that would choose to have an animal live rather then some guy who decides to fight dogs for entertainment, or go out and kill whales for food when you have a farm with cows and other foods right on your land..I'm sorry..like I said..I'm not at all a violent person and fear death myself and hate to see death come to others..but when it comes to animals..It's a spot in my heart that can truely send the worst part of me to the front..and then...well..then all bets are off..There are just some people..who just shouldn't be here..but as mentioned..this is just my opinion...

    Re: Whale Wars.

    I can't stand it. It's a bunch of freaking tree huggers or in this case whale huggers lol. They think they have all the answers and everyone else is wrong. 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.
