Yes, I watch the show Whale Wars. If you’ve not seen the show yet, you can tune in via Animal Planet. I love the premise – renegades with hi-tech gadgets in the barren ocean trying to stop Japanese “Research Vessels” from harvesting whales.
I find the show a little bit dramatic, but you have to give these guys credit. If they aren’t going to save the whales, who is?
From what I can tell from the shows, whales are pretty smart. They seem to be able to communicate and have feelings. Some of the cast – well they may have a few screws loose, but wouldn’t you after months on giant ship in the freezing-your-butt-off middle of nowhere.
Go get ‘em guys.
