Thread: Whale Wars

Watched an episode for the first time the other day.

What a bunch of pretentious buffoons!

First they capsize their Zodiak with a bunch of people and gear.

Then one of the morons prangs their helicopter.

I'm not altogether for whaling but it seems research is necessary and whale hunting could be managed in a sustainable way, the way Alaska Inuit hunt for whale.

The truth, in simple terms, is that Japan's giant 8030-tonne factory ship, the Nisshin Maru, and three smaller whaling boats, left last Sunday for the Antarctic Ocean on the biggest scientific whale hunt in history. The fleet is intent on slaughtering as many as 935 minke whales, 50 fin whales, and, crucially, 50 of the vulnerable humpback whales protected by an international moratorium since 1966.

interesting article

Whale steak is after all quite tasty and nutritious.
"Whale the other red meat".

This South Park episode is remarkably poignant as well as funny

The eco-nazis and eco-terrorists are pretty daft.
