I think the killing of the magnificent mammals is absolutely unbelievable at this time in our existence. There is no reason other than the Japanese’s pallet, nothing else. No one is fooled by their ridicules statements about research. Now on the flip side of the coin: if some one buzzed around in a little boat bothering me and I was the captain of anther ship I would take it out in a short second if I thought it constituted a risk to any of my crew or vessels. I am surprised that it has not happened yet. The type of tactics used by the whale war bone heads is considered an attack on high seas and the laws and rules of engagement differ from the laws in the civilized world. As soon as these goofballs started lobbing any destructive devices at anyone’s ship for any reason out of protection for my crew I would fire on the other ship and try to sink it. They should consider themselves lucky no one has sunk them yet. I have no tolerance for these guerilla tactics any more than I like whaling. Maybe we can find a country to get rid of them both. This crap is not going to fly in a world where we are trying to get rid of these kind if terrorists. Use all of the money to fight a good legal war or get some of the other countries to try economic sanctions against Japan. Remember they import everything. Terrorizing other ships is going to end up with a bunch of people killed and nothing to show for it other than a bunch of people and junk setting at the bottom of the sea. I cannot wait for the episode where the Japanese fire their four-inch rockets at the helicopter and take it out of the sky sending in to the processing ship causing a rupture in their fuel tank and start a major spill in the southern oceans of thick bunker oil that will not evaporate and destroys thousands of miles of Antarctic ocean. Thus killing thousands of whales, birds and other mammals. Nice going you meatheads, Go get em! I hope the idiots on the anti whaling ship don’t get all of their crew killed by the morons who are leading this half-baked assault. OooOooOooh, but they are so PC! Don’t they just like really be cool? Let go smoke a joint and celebrate.

I had the opportunity to see a preview of this so called "Whale Wars" on TV. It is so sad to see Animal Planet is sponsoring such a horrible program! I refuse to view such stupidity and ignorance from these eco-terrorist who claim they are protecting the whales. They're actually endangering themselves and the entire ocean if anything bad should happen. Shame on you Animal Planet! Someone WILL die and you will pay dearly for this stupid program. Infact, I will boycott Animal Planet until you pull this dumb program off the air and I will make sure all my friends and family are in support of the boycott. SHAME ON YOU ANIMAL PLANET!!!!

I am appauled at the whaling industry in Japan calling it research and killing hundreds of whales. Can't they just tag and release the whales like we do with other animals? If they are whaling to feed their country's population, why don't they just say so? It just doesn't make sense to us outside of Japan. Are we misunderstanding their culture and way of life? I'm wondering if we would act the same way if Japan protested the US for hunting and killing bufalos. I'm sure most of us will tell Japan to go fly a kite. I totally agree with the blogs that someone will get killed for the sake of entertaining TV viewers. It is sad that the activists think this is worth dying for when there are other options. I don't blame the crew for fighting back... this is piracy justified with noble intent but nontheless its still piracy with intent to damage, injure and possibly kill someone. A human life in more important than a 100 whales no matter how you look at this. I love our whales with all my heart... I am disappointed what we have become Animal Planet... very disappointed indeed.

Take the stupid show off the air... I hope this show sinks your boat!

I just finished watching Animal Planet's infomercial for international eco-terrorism. I am suprised and disappointed that a respected and generally moderate TV channel like Discovery Channel/Animal Planet would support criminal acts of piracy, vandalism, assault and other crimes on the high seas.

I do not support in any way the killing of these fantastic sea mammals by the japanese or anyone else, it is unethical and distateful to say the least. However, the use of illegal and unethical terror tactics to stop the whaling is stupid, dangerous and places these clowns in the same category as every other two-bit terrorist on the planet.

The ships "

"Whale Wars" is rediculous. I saw 2 episodes tonight and I can't believe how they compare their actions to military maneuvers. It isn't kidnapping when you voluntarily board a ship. It is considered assault when you throw objects at someone or their property. If I were the Japanese ship, I would have done everything to prevent the boarding, to include running that little boat over. How would Americans feel if Indians came over to the US and did these sort of actions at cattle ranches and slaughter houses? This show is filled with people that haven't accomplished anything of value in their life and feel that by doing this to "save whales" somehow validates their existence in this world. If these people really cared about the environment and animals, why are they burning all that fuel for the boats and the helicopter? All eco-terrorists are hypocrites in one way or another. It is amazing what people will do to other humans to save animals. Animal Planet, you fail for airing this crap. "What happened to the ole Samurai spirit" - Capt of that stupid ship...are you serious?

Love this show and there heavy tactics. To all the people calling them terrorists so were the anti war activists during the vietnam war. Sometimes the only way you will get something across is by showing the world your not afraid to get your hands dirty and tarnish your image in the process and thats what you people critisizing the sea sheperd crew will never understand. I wish more people out their had there kind of bravery. This world would probably be a much better place.

The Captain considers himself a student of military history - and expert - and yet, when asked by his worried volunteer crew what his intended tactics were he replied, "

The Captain considers himself a student of military history - and expert - and yet, when asked by his worried volunteer crew what his intended tactics were he replied, "I don't know...I don't know what the whether will be...I don't plan until we engage." Reeeeeaaaaalllly???? I guess that's how Wellington kicked Napoleon's butt at Waterloo? I guess that’s how Alexander the Great conquered the Persians.......I guess that’s how the Roman Legions built their empire?

Cap’t Paul sports a lot of store-bought badges on his chest and I guess that makes him a real Captain and a champion of animal rights. Then I guess kids who wear plastic toy U.S. Marshal stars while playing cops-and-robbers are real Marshals too? “Captain” Paul doesn’t hold a real Captain’s ticket....in fact, no one in the employ of Sea Shepherd does.....

All one has to do is read Paul’s books and you’ll see in black-and-white his views on how to control the media. I’d say he’s doing pretty well with that lately.....

This show makes me not want to ever donate to conservation programs in fear that some of the money might go to people like this. Sea Shepherd is a waste of money and a waste of lives.

This show is ridiculous. You can't even take these people seriously. The first show they almost sunk their zodiac. The captain has no idea what he is doing. He said that he planned to have his crew captured the whole time. First, I don't want to be around anyone that wants me captured. Second, his back up plan was to try and foul the rotors which worked out great. These people are lucky that they haven't all been shot. They're flying a pirate flag and illegally boarding a Japanese boat in international waters. Personally I think they're lucky that all the Japanese have done is take captives and throw flash bangs. If someone entered my house like that I'd shoot them. I think they Captain likes seeing himself on TV.

Ha! What a collection of cliches'. Anyone that would be inspired by the eco warriors portrayed in this show is woefully lacking self-awareness.

The producers on this show are brilliant, actually. Through savvy edits and storytelling (along with the idiocy of the crew) the program deconstructs the protagonists and really illustrates the moral ambiguity of the crew.

The constant edits featuring the captain with his infinite stare and opened-mouthed breathing is a nice touch.

So, yeah, really and delusional silly people

200 years from now, the so called eco-terrorists are going to be looked at like heroes. people who condemn them are just COWARDS pure and simple. When the true ecological heroes win, (they cannot lose) The cowards will change their tune. (after all cowards only care about being on the side that is winning)

FYI Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, Jesus, American Revolutionaries, Abolitionists, and Martin Luther King were all trouble makers to someone.

And throwing stink bombs is hardly "

This show, and the concept of it is a travesty. To be clear, I am against whaling, but I am also against acts of piracy and eco-terrorism. Terry Irwin should be ashamed of herself exploiting her husband’s name for this vessel, whose activities I would doubt that Steve himself would condone. Steve Irwin was for conservation, and open communications. I doubt that if he were still alive, that he would be saying how he agrees with damaging and attacking a sovereign vessel in international waters, and then committing acts of piracy by illegally boarding it.

Terry Irwin – go back to exploiting your daughter in the name of Steve Irwin. No one in the States is really concerned about Bindi the Jungle Girl anymore.

For the crew of the Steve Irwin, you deserve whatever happens to you for these acts.

You have to ask yourself – these “activists” risk their lives for whales, but do nothing for starving or abused children. Has anyone else ever noticed that it’s so much easier to care for animals when children in their own areas suffer from abuse or lack of medical care? Where’s all that righteous indignation then?

If you want to stop whaling, then lobby the governments in your own countries. The Japanese are within the law to do what they are doing. Like it or not, it is the law. We know the “research” routine is a farce. The Japanese know it’s a farce. We know that they know, and they know that we know, and so on. However, it is still the law. It’s the law because it’s business. Change the law – don’t commit illegal acts to do it.

As I mentioned, I am against whaling, but this show has done more to show me that the Japanese need to be defended for being attacked. I doubt that was the idea they had in mind. Good for Green Peace for kicking this idiot out of their organization!

I would think that Terri Irwin wouldn't want Steve's name associated with boat.

I'm against whaling for research, I don't see that anyone needs to cut a whale open to find out what's in it's stomach. But this is how the world operates, even here in the US. But that being written, I think not only the crew, but the tactics employed are utterly absurd. It almost has a cult feeling to it, the crew seems made of people with no experience who desperately need something to believe in and they have a leader who manipulates, misleads and uses them.

They use no tact or diplomacy when communicating with others and in fact, act ridiculously immature. The "captain" seems to do nothing but lean, sit and stare. He's about as compelling as Eeyore. And he uses his crew for political gain. He didn't tell them that he expected people to be taken hostage, then he complained about working with cowards when nobody volunteered. He didn't seem concerned about his crew being hurt or possibly killed on the whaling ship, his concern was with getting images out to the media. Then he abandoned them. His moronic shipmate almost got several of the crew killed on the first episode. Even I could see what was going wrong as they tried to put the small boat in the water.

I get the feeling that we're supposed to be rooting for these people, yet they're not doing anything respectable. This doesn't make me a coward, as someone wrote above. That doesn't make sense, what exactly am I meant to be afraid of?

The show is compelling, but I don't think for the reasons they expected. The crew is ridiculous and I'll keep watching just to see how much trouble their own stupidity gets them into. Overall, I'm rooting for the whales, but will enjoy watching the idiots.

I think this show is altogether fascinating--it shows the Sea Shepherds, warts and all, and implicity raises the question how far one should go in pursuit of a cause, even if that cause is noble. It also raises questions about the Japanese motives and purpose in so-called scientific whaling (really? you need to kill 1000 whales a year for "

I think thisI think this show is altogether fascinating--it shows the Sea Shepherds, warts and all, and implicity raises the question how far one should go in pursuit of a cause, even if that cause is noble. It also raises questions about the Japanese motives and purpose in so-called scientific whaling (really? you need to kill 1000 whales a year for "research"? how convenient that you're then obliged to try to make something of the byproduct of your researach on the open market). I also love that it's not spoon-feeding me a narrative like most reality shows. It's complex and it's unvarnished. Bravo, Animal Planet--you've produced the most gripping and provocative show of the year!

I think it is important to realize that Animal Planet did not create this show - the Sea Sheperd has been confronting the whalers for a few years before this show was produced. Animal Planet was documenting this confrontation, that would take place with or without them. Ask yourself this question: Were you aware of the whaling situation before this show? For many the answer would be no. Regardless of your opinions of the Sea Shepeard's methods, Animal Planet has brought the situation to the fore front and people are now talking about the killing of whales. This is the first step toward any form of change. I feel that animal planet has done the right thing by producing this series, because now people are talking and exchanging ideas on how to change the situation. Please continue to talk - talk loudly and furiously - maybe someday whaling will be an issue of the past.

200 years from now this collection of characters will be about as heroic as Hon Yost Schuyler. Who is Hon Yost Schuyler you ask? ... Exactly my point.

I can understand why Greenpeace would avoid those people. No strategy, no practice for newbies in controlled (non- Arctic)conditions. It's like Gilligans Island in a freezer.

Send your support $ to someone who is capable.

These Unorganized idiots on the Sea Shephard are given lots of needed exposure. Greenpeace is smart to not have anything to do with "captain Dip sh-t" Paul. He should risk his fat butt like he asking these expendable kids. Getting spoiled, hippy college kids who pay for their trips with (mommy and daddys donation), time and risking their lives for on this willyi-nilly no plan group of novice nobodys is totally irresponsible. Whoever is funding this - should STOP! This is not doing any good for the whales. Their own pollution in the water outweighs whatever time wasting annoyances they cause for the whaling ships. No wonder practically everyone in the world hates the us here in the USA.

I cant wait till Animal Planet removes this show from thier station. I really cant believe that a group of free thinking adults would get on a boat headed to one of the worst environments in the world to participate in one of the most rediculously underplanned and non-strategized techniques ever.

The Captain is incompetent and just wants to have his picture taken doing "

Having spent years on oceans around the world as a professional mariner, I can say these guys are mostly only a terror unto themselves (and their families). While I would agree that whaling under the thin disguise of "

You have got to be kidding,the sea shepards are nothing more than maniplulative liars and P.E.T.A freaks. I and my family watched your show, and so called cause. And have determined your nothing but eco-terrorist and fools.Why don,t the sea shepards go and see if they could save the crabs from the crew of (deadliest catch).Another example of stupid liberals at work.

Wow ! I saw this show on the Animal Planet to my utter horror and dismay ! How does a reputable tv channel like the Animal Planet pick-up this garbage ?

The overt and irrational emotions over whaling have never ceases to amaze me. But in the interest of fairness, here is a bit of disclosure before I begin.

Disclosures:
1) I am an avid “environmentalist.” I wonder about the sanity of people who watch the beauty and the majesty of nature, and think nothing of mowing it down or NOT feel the undying urge to protect it and preserve it for the generations to come. As far as I am concerned, EVERYONE is an environmentalist, for we can NOT live without a healthy environment.

2) Having said that, I also recognize that WE the humanity are an integral part of this environment. I do NOT subscribe to the blind and foolish notion that we must protect all things large and cuddly at the complete exclusion of humanity. Yes, fauna and flora, along with its environment MUST be protected, but sustainable harvest and environmental protection are NOT mutually exclusive. Matter of fact, our history has often proven it to be otherwise. Everyone from the National Geographic to Steve Colbert (of Colbert Report fame) has addressed the positive role that hunters and gamesmen often play in conservation of very species that they hunt.

3) Nor do I subscribe to the argument that we should put forth more effort to save something or protect this and that simply because they are “more intelligent” or for that matter, because they are furrier or cuddlier or cuter. I believe the “intelligence” argument is a dangerously slippery one, and that it has been used to horrific results throughout history . . . the examples are endless – a) the laughable notion that American slaves did not deserve basic human rights because they were inferior in intelligence, or b) that Native Americans were somehow NOT human, or that c) because aborigines did NOT have the Western knowledge nor the notion of sowing the land, that the land did not belong to them . . .

Sensible environmental policy would suggest that eco-systems in its whole should be preserved – from its apex predators all the way down to microscopic organisms that support the foundation of such an eco-system.

. . . now, back to the current whaling situation.

Basic Premise:
The Japanese have hunted whales for centuries. They use every part of the whale, some of it for crucial cultural activities such as Bunraku (Japanese puppetry theatre) where no other substance can be used as a substitute (in this case, baleen).

The whale population was decimated by our own people, the English, the Americans, and the Norwegians, among others, who during the 18th and 19th century spanned far and wide across the world to hunt all whales indiscriminately to satisfy avarice demand for cheap blubber and some fashion fad. Commodore Perry first went to Japan in 1854 to force its cooperation so that American whalers will be sheltered. Ernest Shackleton and his crew were saved by a Norwegian whaling station in Antarctica.

To blame the Japanese for the pathetic and shameful decimation of the whaling population is like blaming the Native Americans for the decimation of the North American buffalo. Moreover, to prevent them from hunting whales because it has now become fashionable to NOT hunt them for us in the West, is nothing short of shameful visit to our imperial past when we imposed our vague moral standards on others and demanded that they modify their behavior to suit our own comfort.

On the “Scientific Research” Issue:
When the International Whaling Commission enacted its moratorium on commercial whaling back in 1986, all pleas for responsible and sustainable whaling were ignored. There was, however, an exception made for “scientific research”. So in order to preserve their cultural heritage, the Japanese now hunt for reasons of “scientific research”.

To ask what “scientific research” they are conducting is an insult to intelligence. They are clearly hunting under those auspices because they have no other choice, and I applaud them for it. Would you have done otherwise ? When people are told NOT to worship, the places of worship go underground. When people are told NOT to speak their languages anymore, home schools pop-up in secret. It is a perfectly rational, perfectly intelligent, and the only way to keep ones culture alive, and to prevent it from going the way of so many cultures that have been murdered by the whim of the Western “high moral ground.”

So I say, provided that it is sustainable, hunt on, Japan !

Message to the Imperialists:
As for imperialists in Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd hell bent on cultural destruction and forcible imposition of their thoughtless values, their time and resources would be better spent on focusing on other issues – impending global warming, prevention of drag-net fishing that is decimating the ocean fish stocks, or rampant habitat destruction in many of the developing worlds.

If they really want someone to blame for the current sorry state of whales in the world, then they should NOT look to the people who have sustainably harvested whales for centuries. Instead, they should look to their own ancestors and the policies taken by those ancestors.

Finally . . . :
Final caveat to above. Having said all of this, I do think it wise to monitor closely the catches made by the Japanese, or whoever else. I believe the Rudd Government (Australia)’s monitoring of the Japanese whaling fleet is a great idea.

Like all things in life, accountability and transparency are critical in making sure that the system work, especially systems as delicate and fragile as sustainable harvesting.

But the despicable actions by the Sea Shepherd boat and its crew members have no place in thoughtful environmental policy.

This show is an insult to other reputable, science based shows that the channel carries.

captain and crew, are Diabolical and Ignorant,
Today


The Japanese need a boat named STINGRAY to take care of the STEVE IRwin

The thing that kept running through my head was , JONES TOWN in south America, The Capitan reminded me of Jim Jones who KILLED his followers. The women on the Steve Irwin remind me of Charles Manson Girl friends.. It is too bad these people do not fight this hard to stop WORLD HUNGER, Help there own species..
The show was entertaining, but my gut feeling was the captain and crew, were Diabolical and Ignorant, MANSON and JIM JONES were fighting for what they believed in..
I am a AMERICAN, but if I was in the Japan Government, The Steve Irwin would just disappear or The Japanese people should send a ship out to throw stink bombs and make the steve irwin dead in the water and I would cal the Japanese ship, STINGRAY

Very sad this channel has this on. I believe it shows the true colors of this broadcasting network. Be careful that YOU dont do something they disagree with as YOU might be next.

I am still very sad to see this utter garbage on the air. Animal Planet should be ashamed for giving these eco-terrorists a megaphone to spout there ignorant views. I remember listening to the radio a year ago to some talk show and on it was a former captain of greenpeace. he was out spouting that humanity is killing the earth and something needs to be done to stop it. He claimed that the Earth had a maximum carrying capacity of human beings of 1 billion people. What are we up to now 6.7 billion. So what are we supposed to do with the extra 5.7 billion people here that are supposedly killing it? When Whale Wars came on I thought back to that interview. I wondered if that former greenpeace captain was him. And sure enough it was. Captain mouth breather, Paul Watson, says the extra 5.7 billion people have to go to save the earth. Makes me wonder if he goes to this extreme for Whales what would he do if he had any credibility and a following. Start weeding the population in efforts to save the planet? he should do the earth a favor and be the first one to take themselves out to save it.

The reason why I am against the show is all because of Paul Watson, hes a huge idiot if he thinks he can stand against the Japanese whaling company,because the fact 90% of his crew haven even been on a damn boat and are all inexperienced. I mean first they let a first timer ruin the helicopter, than when the zodiac flipped over in the water, Paul Watson stood there with a blank look on his face not knowing what to do, how embarrassing. Not only that when his 2 crew members went on the Japanese boat and risked there lives and came back, he refuse to go down and congratulate them and said he wouldn't go down to greet them. Paul Watson has no clue what he is doing and this poor crew isnt going to risk there lives for the whales, there going to risk it for him! If the crew were more experienced and knew what they were doing they would have my support, but there a bunch hippies who want to go out and have fun.

Oh and for the idiots saying that Japanese eating whales and killing them is a way of life, you obviously have no clue of Japanese culture, I am Asian and whaling has never been a part of Japanese culture and not even a big menu item either, I have family who live there and I visit all the time so I would know, there main meat is basically the same as ours except more seafood.

The author of this article is clearly showing her lack of knowledge in this area. To begin with, though it is certainly distasteful, Japanese whaling is in no way violating any international law or any treaty to which Japan is a signatory. The only people violating international law are these eco-terrorists who are actively engaged in acts of piracy and terrorism. In spite of their rather weak disclaimer, Animal Planet is supporting and endorsing these acts by producing and airing this program which gives a one sided view and provides this terrorist group a large podium to espouse their self righteous and deluded views.

Claiming he has sunk ships at sea is an admission of piracy. Boarding a ship underway in the open ocean is an act of piracy. Compromising the propulsion, steering, navigation, or communication capabilities of a ship at sea is an act of piracy which seriously endangers the lives of all on board the disabled ship. The Japanese are within their rights to repel borders and protect themselves from malicious attacks using any means they find necessary. Capturing boarders does not constitute hostage taking nor kidnapping by any stretch of the imagination. Subduing criminals boarding their vessel is actually the most benign option open to the Japanese personnel. If they actually did shoot those assaulting them (and evidence strongly suggests they did not!) they would be well within their rights to do so. In reality, the type of unethical and illegal terrorist activity practiced by these eco-terrorist hoodlums disrupts and interferes with the legitimate diplomatic efforts and educational programs directed at establishing a permanent end to whaling.

By the way, neither Norway nor Iceland has done any whaling in almost two decades. A group in Iceland applied to start small scale whaling in the past year but could not get either financial backing or a permit from their government. It would help if you actually checked your facts.

The acceptance by the Australian government of this activity by a ship flagged to their country, and failure to properly arrest, prosecute and punish those engaged in piracy and terrorism, is a blatant disregard for international law and absolutely could be considered an act of aggression towards another sovereign nation.

There is nothing funnier than this show. I recently discovered it and watched six episodes in a row. The mere idea that these incompetent retards could accomplish anything meaningful in their lives is hilarious. The only way it could be funnier if is if one of the Japanese ships puts a torpedo in the hull of the ship. I hope the show last long enough to show this organization for the failure it is.

I have to admit that this is a stupid show, however I do watch it to see the bumbling idiot "whale warriors" hurt themselves or otherwise make a mockery out of real mariners. This is the closest thing to modern "keystone cops" that I have ever seen!! I am not even sure if what they are doing is legal.. I am rooting for the whale ships..not because I hate whales..but because these bozos try to take the "law" into their own hands..it would serve them all right if the whale ships truly defended themselves and put a case of the Habious-whoopass on these hippies.

Animal Planet quit airing this show!! I love animal planet and I love animals, but I DO NOT support your network portraying these wackos as heroic or anything other than criminals that should be arrested. One of these hobos is going to get killed by either an accident (that they seem to be prone to) or by a Japanese mariner who is protecting his ship and crew from an unlawful attack. These bumbling idiots will sue Animal Planet when one of them dies and if I am anywhere on that jury..I will find Animal Planet culpable and hopefully help award enough money to shut the network down. Your production of this travesty is doing nothing more than making these impressionable retards take risks they would or should normally take. All this is, is a publicity stunt by the "captain" and another way for him to beg for money from other hippies to further his terror and line his own pockets no doubt. I seriously beg you to pull the plug on this embarrassment to the United States and honorable animal loves worldwide.

I can't believe Animal Planet would give air time to terrorists. They are environmental extremists with their own agenda. All they do is lie and commit violent acts. Nothing honorable about that. They are so extreme you can't even take the issues seriously, poor whales. The show isn't even about whales. All it is is a bunch of pirates tooting their own whistle, unrealistically justifying their illegal acts. Even worse, if you do some research in Sea Shepherd, they sink ships, ram them, call butyric acid butter, and slicken ships with methocel. They are wanted in several countries, been banned from others, some have trials pending, and play cops and robbers like it's a game, hate people, hate government, and are just blatent eco-terrorists. The propaganda they use is horrific - they couldn't tell the truth about anything if their lives depended on it. They have to lie their way into getting naive people to believe their "side" is correct and to collect donations. They even lie into the microphone so people believe what they are saying as truth or what is going on. All this for Animal Planet to increase ratings and they don't care about what is right or wrong either. I'm just beyond words.
