Whale Wars

The Japanese refuse to quit their commercial whaling attempts and this creates a conflict among those who realize that whales simply will vanish from the planet soon if killing them is not stopped, once and for all. This makes for entertaining documentary style television and the Sea Shepherd Conservatory Society takes us along as we witness cruelty on the part of professional whalers. Paul Watson, the founder of the Conservation got help from the Discovery Channel to put together this reality documentary style show. We witness the tactics used as they attempt to dissuade commercial whalers from killing these magnificent creatures of the sea. And they mean business! With ramming, throwing stink bombs, and even boarding Japanese whaling vessels in mind, they keep up the good fight and try to teach their philosophy as well. The Japanese claim they are whaling for research purposed but it's obvious they have commercial gain in mind. Whales are intelligent creatures and they have been given names, making it more personal to see them killed. Each episode follows some specific whales and we witness what happens on the high seas is not always a pleasant experience.
