Real Time Update:

Anti-whaling campaigners set sail for Jersey (The Island, they're not visiting Snookie)

ANTI-WHALING campaigners are heading to Jersey to lobby delegates at a major international conference being held in the Island next week.

IFAW – the International Fund for Animal Welfare, Campaign Whale, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society UK and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society will all be visiting to either observe or protest at the 63rd International Whaling Commission.

The conference, which is being held in Jersey for the first time, is held each year to discuss the state of global whale populations and monitor the organisation’s policies and regulations.

IFAW, who campaign on behalf of many different species, have the support of John Nettles of Bergerac fame. He said: ‘I’m proud to support IFAW’s campaign to protect whales at the IWC. ‘It is vital that the International Whaling Commission adopts the strongest possible level of protection for whales across the world.’

I think at times the show was interesting, but in most cases they seem to take one show and drag it out into three episodes.

It's true, but it can still be entertaining. Last episode they left eight hippies in Zodiacs floating in the antarctic hours away from help. They broke a Zodiac. Last we saw they'd been on the water for 13 hours and the mother ship hadn't returned yet. Hypothermia was setting in. If the crew of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are prime examples then there won't be any hippies left 48 hours after TSHTF.

Ironically, that's where the hippies just were, trying to stop illegal fishing while there is no functioning government. I can't believe they didn't get shot. Apparently NATO was keeping an eye on them so they wouldn't hurt themselves.

They will become food. I suggest a George Forman Grill so all the grease can run off.

That was reported in all the econutz websites. There were reports of parties, prostitutes, bribes, drugs, etc., etc. All of which sounds like a good reason to get an invite next time. I think the hippies were just jealous.
