I think the people are stupid and probably deserve to have their boat sunk for ramming ships. If you want to play, you have to be willing to pay. I could care less about the whales or whaling. I would slaughter an animal, bleed it, cut it up into edible portions, cook it, and then eat it if butcher shops didn't do it for me. The only time I wouldn't want hunting is if you were doing it to the point of extinction. Japan isn't doing that, they are specifically targeting a species that isn't on the verge of extinction and they also quota hunt so the population isn't effected, but facts ruin the point of the show. Their lethal sampling of whales also helps the fish stock in the ocean.

I should record my husband's commentary while watching that show... it makes it all that much better

The lack of experience on their "sailors" has me surprised that they haven't completely sunk yet. Green Peace won't even claim these fools. Sure makes for good TV though.

Yea, I've only watched a few episodes but I think they ran off the only guy that had any experience (old 1st mate?) because he wasn't a tree hugging, pc, cock sucker like the rest of them.

Meh. The commercials I've seen for it are enough to keep me from watching.

Whaling is banned.

They harvest whales for "scientific" purposes, and then sell the meat.

I mean, geeez - the ships all say RESEARCH on the side of them. What more proof do we need?? There is the right way to go about this, and there is the wrong way. Trying to take on a ship with a personal water craft while they are firing water cannons at you in freezing waters is the WRONG way.

Perhaps, but then I'm no expert

I notice you put quotes around scientific --- If it's fake research, then it's just whaling, right?
