In the preview the captain of the environmentalist groups ship gets shot by one of the whalers. I think it's a must see just for that alone.
I haven`t seen the show, but I would be highly surprised if he was really hit by a bullet shot from a Japanese vessel. Sounds again like PETA-style (in this case Sea Shepherd) propaganda to forward their cause.
Even when I saw that advertisment I was skeptical, I figure it was debris kicked up from a flash-bang. The ICR has an explanation of what happened on their website, but that would kill the suspense.
I don`t think it is illegal. The fact is that the Japanese are allocated a certain amount every year (in the name of scientific study) and they don`t catch any more than the allocation.
Whales eat the same fish we try and catch? So... we should whale to save the fish? Do you seriously believe that argument from the Japanese?
I never said whales eat tuna. I said that in my amateur opinion, people should be worried about non-cute fish like tuna which is being fished and eaten to extinction by the whole world today.First of all, baleen whales (including fin whales, the ones the ICR kill) don't exactly eat Tuna, they eat krill and plankton.
hmmmm...I think one of the most common and popular types of whale eaten in Japan is the Sperm whale (マッコウクジラ). Again, I don`t know that much on the subject, but I assume that the Japanese have no interest in whaling an endangered species to extinction. They would gladly just fish certain (more abundant) species with limitation if that made everyone happy.The whales that do eat fish, Sprerm, Orca, false killer whales, members of the dolphin family etc, aren't being whaled.
Again, the issue is not really which species blah blah blah. Basically, the anti-whaling side is against any whaling whatsoever. While I don`t completely agree with the pro-whaling side either, I find that the anti-whaling side (which includes the general western public) is just blindly influenced by the hard-core PETA style movement to protect cute animals.Fin whales are one of the few species that have come back, so they get to go right back on the chopping block. Blue Whales, Wright Whales, Bowhead whales, Sperm whales, all have been decimated by whaling and haven't really come back. If our ocean ecosystems recover enough then many years from now we can whale sustainably, but there's no good reason to keep doing it now except for claiming "tradition".
