Save the whales has gone too far.

A movie about freeing whales trapped in a town that usually eats whales filmed in a location that is in AK but a far cry from the arctic.(Anchorage) . I also don't like Drew Barrymore. And i think whales are the second most delicious thing second only to seal.

What I don't like is the show Whale Wars. The ship is full of PETA-esque people who would hurt people and their family to save the lives of whales.

Those assholes are essentially terrorists. They're attacking Japanese whalers who are perfectly within their legal rights to do what they do.

That's a silly argument to make, for a wide variety of reasons. One man's terrorist is another man's George Washington, after all.

Not to say that I support the tactics of the anti-whaling people, but I do applaud them for not being apathetic.

While I concur that the PETA set can suck it, those Japanese whalers are stretching a loophole about only taking whales to study them as an excuse to exercise commercial whaling. They can also suck it. Let 'em slug it out.

This has been brought up before. These guys are tools. BUT on the otherhand, I do not by any means support Japan's whaling rights, not to mention their tuna fishing practices. But the bottom line is that people's lives hold more worth than an animal's. When these guys (greenpeace, and sea shepherds) ram boats endangering all lives involved (not to mention the people tasked with rescuing them) then I'd like to see attempted murder charges, captains licenses stripped, and lawsuits against them for the cost of operations to execute a rescue from something they caused.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but there are roughly seven billion humans on the planet right now...

Even if you hold any given animals' life to be, say, 1/20th as important as a human life, we're still more expendable.

They dont actually do anything though, just throw stinky butter. Its the stupidest show ever. "we're hardcore, we're pirates" bull, all you do is throw stink bombs at a crew of men on a boat for 6 months that dont care at all how they smell.

Ramming boats is slightly more dangerous than throwing stinky butter. There was a story I read the other day about how a sea shepherd boat (a small and maneuverable boat btw) parked itself right in the path of a Japanese Whaler, then when the sea shepherd boat was obviously rammed and cut in half, wanted to charge the Japanese captain with attempted murder.

I have never once seen the whale wars people ram their boat into another one. To clarify,i was just speaking about that show not any other whaling protesters.

Are you kidding? When did the rebels attack civilians?

While I agree there are too many of us on this planet, this kind of statement could be used to justify anything. Disease, famine, and natural disasters do a fine job of cutting back the numbers. I will not endorse this statement to justify endangering crews of men in dangerous waters.

Never really meant for this thread to go this way, shame if it gets shut down.

[SpamBot]

There's really no other possible outcome with such a politically charged topic.

I like the show Whale Wars. That black speed boat is tight yo.

What makes you say that?

[::::BASSIST::::]

Human lives are important to humans.

Animal lives are important to animals.

Both have a right to live without harm from the other.

IMO whales are a food group not politics.
