I LOVE this show. I'm in a definite minority here, but I applaud what they do. I probably wouldn't agree with anything else they believe in. They are definitely inept. They know nothing about seamanship and are a big danger to themselves. Like Watson says, he asks the crew before they sign on if they are willing to die for the whales. I wouldn't die for one, but I don't want to see them killed in a Whale sanctuary under the bogus loophole of supposed research.

The slaughter of baby seals, (which they have fought against as well) is disgusting.

They may end up killing themselves in the process, but they know what they signed up for. I hope they do disrupt the whole Japanese whale fishing fleet in this sanctuary.

Why, because your panties get bunched? It is called wildlife management. I guess you are one of those who think only ugly animals should have their populations controlled! You should do some research and quit forming opinions on emotions. That is what liberals do.

Tell that to the polar bears, who take most of the baby seals that are born, along with some adults. I'm sure the polar bear will rethink his methods if he knew it was disgusting.

Also, tell that to the various marine species those seals would feed on throughout their lives- seals aren't vegetarians- they need to kill to stay fat and happy. I suppose those marine lives don't matter to econuts, though, because they are not cute and fuzzy and the seals do the killing below the ice where the blood is unseen by the camera's eyes and doesn't bother sensitive people's feelings.

What difference does it make which predator gets them, man, polar bear, or killer whale? It make no difference to the seals, and you will never see an activist outraged at the bears and orcas.

The show is well put together. Some of the false suspense is pretty cheesy. Like when one of the Zodiacs can't be raised on the radio.

".....but I don't want to see them killed in a Whale sanctuary under the bogus loophole of supposed research."

The japanese have a very long history of ignoring laws regarding fishing territories. The quotas' are bogus, but it really wouldn't matter if they didn't exist at all.

While I'm fairly certain I wouldn't agree with most of the Sea Shepard crews political views, what the Jap whalers do is about as despicable as it gets.
