Whale Wars!

[civil war hunter]

What do you think of whale hunting?
I believe that we should only kill one whale a year and only the common ones and only for research!. I've been watching the show "Whale Wars" and to be honest I don't think they are really getting anywhere with these so called "Researchers". The Steve Erwin crew barely has any weapons of really any sort, why don't they put that butyric acid on the helicopter and lunch them from there in stead of throwing the bottles? Why don't they use paint ball guns instead of throwing bottles of paint? And why don't they use fireworks? Its allot easier!

I also think its sad that we don't really care about the creatures of the sea...

I think whale killing is horrible just like killing seals is. It's a disgusting barbaric practice rooted in traditions and has no purpose in research.

Wow, at first glance I thought this was going to be a new reality TV series about overweight people on beaches Maybe I should place a call to Tru-TV, or A&E and pitch my idea

It is sad how we treat these poor mammals to say the least. One day maybe we'll wake up and do the right thing before it is too late.

there really is no valid reason doing it at the levels they are doing it at -- they are just food processing them using the "research" angle to be able to harvest them --to kill whales for "research" at the levels that they are is just crazy (at the level they are killing them --there will be nothing left to "research" soon --they will be "researched" into extinction )---they are just "food processing" them - get real folks

The biggest problem is that there are no real, enforceable laws in place. Face it, as long as the only thing in the whale hunters way is a bunch of people making noise and running their boats at them. The people making noise are going to lose! Get real laws in place and then confiscate a few whaling ships. You'd be surprised how fast things stop when it stops being profitable.

Its a bunch of well meaning and a few very dedicated people trying to do the right thing and looking for guidance where none exists. They do succeed in embarrassing the US government by pointing out their lack of action but I don't see anything changing until sanctions are taken on the Japanese. Bear in mind these same Japanese just paid $750,000. for 1 bluefin tuna last month. (It came out to about $545 a pound if I recall.) They are bringing to light the current situation so I suppose all is not in vain. Write a letter to the International Whaling Commission and maybe when they are deluged with mail they will act.

I'm 101% against the Japanese whaling. But, If I was skippering a comercial boat & a bunch of people wearing masks etc flying what looks like a pirate flag cutting across my bow would get blown out of the water. Sure I'd radio the Coast Guard. Tell em I think I just found the other end of the Bermuda triangle! The big black pirate ship was there, and it just vanished right before my eyes. Check the videos of the Ady Gay sinking. He crossed the bow of the Jap boat plain & simple! Put everyones life in danger. Pretty bad when Green Peace wants to distance themselves from them.

Question: In all the years what have they accomplished? 0.0%
