Whale War's

Anybody catch the first episode of the new show "whale wars" on animal planet the other night? I guarantee somebody is going to die during the season.

The first time they tried to launch their Zodiac the guy gives too much slack in the bow line, boat turns sideways to the bigger ship and the thing gets flipped with 4 people going in.

Its like they gave 20 or 30 wacko college kids a big *** boat, zodiacs and a helicopter and just let them loose in the antarctic. Even the captain of the ship doesn't look like he could dock 20'er let alone the ship they have.

While trying to find the Japanese whalers they even called Greenpeace to see if they knew where they were and Greenpeace pretty much hung up on them because they didnt want to have anything to do with them.

I'm riveted , its a train wreck.

I saw it!! They nuts!!

Now they crying that two of there crew is being held by the other ship! What right do they have to board anthers ship? Since you know they are there to do harm!! I shot and ask no questions if it was me!

I am sorry, you may not like what they do, but that does not give you the right to do what they are doing!! That Captain needs to be jailed before he gets someone hurt or killed!
I see that he has been shot in the next show, lets hope it is fatal!

The Captain, Paul Watson, is one of the founders of Greanpeace and the founder of the Sea Shepherd Society which has been around for 30+ years.

The type of whaling activities they target are definitely illegal under international law. They do aim to sink whaling vessels....controversial, yes....but so is whaling.

I will make sure I start recording this one as it sounds good. Paul Watson is still alive and kickin....

They claim to have sunk 10 whaling ships over the years but allegedly no deaths. Check out the wikipedia on them:

I can finally use the DVR for something I want to watch

. May have to erase a few episodes of Blues Clues, Backyardigians and Wonderpets.

I saw that show and laughed my butt off. Anyone trying to board my vessel uninvited will get lit up with the flair gun as a warning so that I don't have to waste .357 rounds.
