Real Time Update:
Eco-Group's Founder Uses 'Aggressive Nonviolence'
From the crow's nest, some 60 feet (18 meters) above the waves, the horizon forms a perfect circle, and the visible world a perfect disc empty in all directions but for the sea. Down below, the ship's captain is frustrated by that emptiness. He believes quite strongly that boats are fishing for bluefin tuna illegally, hastening what he fears is the species' demise. He wants to find those fishermen and stop them. But there are few blips on the ship's radar and few specks on the horizon save for the occasional NATO warship. Paul Watson, captain of the Steve Irwin and founder of the U.S.-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, is mostly frustrated by what he sees as the Byzantine bureaucracy that fails to enforce its own fishing quotas and makes it very difficult for him to determine who is out on the Mediterranean harvesting tuna illegally. His crew carries lists by of boats prepared by ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. The list shows the quotas allotted each boat. But it's difficult to tell if a boat has met or exceeded its quota. And some boats are on the list but have no quotas assigned, which means they can help other boats fish but not do the fishing themselves and whether they are abiding by that can also be difficult to pin down. So on Monday Watson ordered the Irwin to head south, into Libyan waters and make its way westward about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of the coast. He hoped to find boats whose names were not on the ICCAT list at all, making them clearly illegal. Those he would confront, sending in divers to cut the nets and free the tuna. Excerpted.

I was just talking about this with my son about the Discovery Channel.
Things okay to kill:
King Crab (Deadliest Catch).
Alligators (Swamp People).
Swordfish (Swords)
Trees (that logging show)
I think there are others as well.
But whales are NOT okay to kill.
I be fan of Japanese for rest of the my life if they do that hey I like Japan they brought my fav monster to Life GODZILLA LOL!
I think I would end up exploding with laughter.
I still can't get over these tards prop fouling themselves!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I've said this for years since Pan_Yan started these threads. The ultimate anti-depressant is Whale Wars. You get to see hippies make absolute fools of themselves!!!
Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER!!! After whales we move on to Bluefin Tuna something I'm going to have to wikipedia...
OMG I going watch tonight at 9pm my time zone LOL!
What would be great crossover show have hippie tangle with Northwestern crew that get 40 share LOL!
The whaling has been a political problem in Japan. It’s a matter of pride not to give in to pirates, but they whole operation is heavily subsidized. Japan’s public debt is over 220% of GDP. They can’t afford it any more. I’m pretty sure this will be the last season.
I be laughing so hard I be crying LOL! ROFL
That be greatest thing to we ever see on Animal planet
I haven’t watched Swamp People but people told me it was nutty. Is that worth DVRing?
That’s the funny irony of it because in the 1970’s they would serve whale instead of beef because beef was too expensive.
“I still can’t get over these tards prop fouling themselves!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I’ve said this for years since Pan_Yan started these threads. The ultimate anti-depressant is Whale Wars. You get to see hippies make absolute fools of themselves”!!!
In that case, FRiend, I *HIGHLY* recommend the movie “Grizzly Man”. :-D
That idiot is lucky the morons had the engine off otherwise he’d meet an untimely demise :D
Has to be Twinkies and Ho Ho's because I don't know how you get that fat on a vegan diet. He's getting his protein from God knows what. I don't eat whale for protein but I need either Chicken, Beef, Pork or Lamb everyday or I get jittery.
HAHAHA now they buy a new helicopter and the damn thing is broke! They should of used the other one it worked fine but they wanted more camera people in it. But Chris is trying to blame the battery meaning somebody F’d up!!!
I noticed Luke Van Horn isn't with them, maybe he had a reality check.
Notice ratface boy still hasn’t been made captain yet? This is the third season he’s been shuffled off as someone else’s first mate.
I haven’t watched it either - or the other ones for that matter. Ice Road truckers is one I like though.
Even a rat-faced boy has to know his limitations.
Is it just my TV or does the narration sound muted?
I will admit that I like Swift and this tool better than the one guy with the long hair and glasses who was so arrogant. I honestly don't remember his name but he was a prick.
He's the idiot who piloted the ship directly into ice and damn near sank the ship.
I REMEMBER!!! The idiot co-Captain from Season 1 and 2 is named Peter Brown. Probably the dumbest person they’ve had on the Steve Irwin.
Anyone named Locky is a creep in my book.
