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?
