LOL, I've seen 4 episodes of this series, and it is failed attempt after attempt.
Captain doesn't even do anything when they are about to kill a whale. Just looks like he's about to cry. THESE GUYS ARE PUSSIES.

But they are throwing stink bombs at these Jap bastards. STINK BOMBS! That's bravery on the high-seas if I've ever seen it.

I bet there's a show in Japan called Whale Wars, but from their point of view. I bet it's less disappointing.

I never quite got the logic behind whale wars.
"Lets throw these stink bombs on the whaling ships to ruin the whale meat. That way, they'll have to......uh, kill more whales since we ruined the first batch?".
-------------------- ...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge. It is an indellible experience; it is forever known. I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did. Smith, P. Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27. ...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely. Osmond, H. Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

the captain is a total douche bag. he takes no risk. he is either sleeping or on the bridge. he sends young impressionable people in to very dangerous situations for what??? nothing. they are killing whales right in front of them. he even had 2 men board one of the Japanese ships. they should of been shot and threw overboard for piracy.
everything that is shown on the show is edited to make it look like they are accomplishing something. that prop fouler has worked once in oh what 7 years. and that's the best they can do. oddly enough i watch the show. so i guess that makes me a bit of a douche bag too

There not really trying to directly stop them, there's no legal way for them to do that. What they're doing is stirring shit up, and getting publicity for the topic itself.
Given that they've managed to get a television show out of it I'd say they're doing a pretty good job.

They need to just shoot this yellow menace. It's illegal to kill whales, and culture is about as valid as a reason for killing them as it is for Arabs beating women, it's not.

There are still some native alaskan tribes that are allowed to whale, and last I checked Alaska is still a state, so the US does in fact still whale.

I knew this was coming. A few tribes of far north Eskimos spearing whales is different then an armada of ships killing hundreds every year, humpbacks even.

Indegenous or not, if they live within state boundaries, they are a part of the state, which is within the United States of America. They may or may not have to follow US law, but they are most definitely part of the United States of America.

If they do not have to follow US law then the United States government isn't "allowing" them to whale, since it is their own sovereign entity "allowing" whaling, and therefore the USA is not whaling.

Well, you are, I'm not, and killing for illegal commercial means under the guise of cultural integrity is different then tribes of Eskimos doing so for some food in the frigid northlands. You just argued that we whale just because there are Inuit people in the US that do. You have no argument

The japs are only allowed to kill so many a year. Even if they cant use the meat.

There's no difference in the cultural claims between the two peoples.
I really don't see why Nordic, English, or Russian people aren't allowed to whale. There are certainly communities in the far northlands off all those cultures that have a long history of whaling and are on the scale of the Inuit whaling.
What I'm saying is, Inuit whaling is as wrong as anyone else's. To say it's not is bullshit.

If you haven't ever heard the word sovereign before you may want to look it up. The Onondaga nation, among several other Indian tribal nations, are sovereign entities that exist within the boundaries of the United States of America. They are NOT a part of the United States of America, however (tricky, I know, but put your thinking cap on). If you enter these nations you will inevitably see a sign posted stating "You are leaving the United States of America and entering the ______ Nation".

It is, and other countries that choose to fully enforce the law, well, more power to them. The thing is, besides small indigenous hunts, there are no countries that do what those damn Japanese do. The scale does count when it goes from cherry to atom bomb.

nah man
they dont relate
theyre reaping something they dont sew,whales aint thiers for the taking. whales are there for us to protect from cannibalistc animals that have shown they have learnt nothing from being fried alive...
if they bred them for food like we do with cows we wouldnt have a problem
theyre also killing off one of our tourist trades ie whale watching

native Americans do it partly as a right of passage and 1 whale supplies the whole "village/tribe" with a ton(ton meaning a lot) of meat, blubber/oil, tools and fuel. they do not waste much if anything. i am by no means a expert so please don't quote me.
according to what the sea Sheppard's crew has said(ifs true[i need to do more research] that no part of the whale is to be waisted.) but the jap is throwing guts overboard. so that should violate the laws i would believe. but the new shows on TV now are over 2 year old so who knows.
I'm just rambling. id love sum input or other peoples total different opinion

some of the hardasses say they don't give a fuck about whales but if they seen a couple irl breaching or just coming up to take a look at them,their jaws would drop to the floor.
i'm all for the jap going out with a single harpoon gun on a canoo but they have a fucking whale factory floating around dragnetting the ocean floors http://www.nojapbikes.com/

They also are not allowed to catch them for meat. They catch them to do "scientific research on" and then because they dont want to waste it, they sell the meat.

this show is fucking pathetic.
I'm watching the season finale right now. The boat was originally going to cut the main ship from the sub-ship so they couldn't transfer the whale, and let the meat spoil...
The stupid captain is so slow, he let them re-maneuver and the best they could do was ram the sub-ship, allowing them to do the whale transfer 5 minutes later......
They ended up doing serious damage to their own ship, causing a leak....
fucking failures.

It is a huge issue, but the show just isn't any good.
I seen a couple episodes while they had a marathon going so I watched I'm like, "Yeah, get those motherfuckers!"
They don't do anything though, they just sat there as they harpooned a few whales. I thought, "Well that's depressing."

You're right, people do it eat meat. I wish it weren't that way, but I'm not trying to stop anyone.
Whale eating is upsetting because it's against international law to kill whales for blatant non-scientific purposes.

but whenever you look at the "big picture," how is it much different? both laws are based on the morals of one specific group of people. at the end of the day what human is being hurt by someone eating whales? or better yet-- how is someone else hurting another human by eating whale? oh that's right, they aren't. just the feelings of the steve irwin's crew. another law that wastes money for a cause that just isn't worth it... hey kind of like cannabis prohibition. it's the same principal.

you hippies are out of this world the only difference is the one you pointed out, one's an animal and one's a plant. at the end of the day its an individual's personal choice whether they want to hunt, kill, and eat whales or any other animal. i guess it's the job of the moralistic hippies of the world to sit on that really high horse and tell the meat eaters they're sinners.

It's not absurd if you consider the damage done to our oceans by commercial fishermen overfishing, dragging nets over reefs, and basically fucking everything up. I'd eat whale too except there aren't enough left to feed all of humanity for even a breakfast.

I must admit, I applaud their effort. They try to do as much as possible to stop whaling, short of active terrorism and murder.
But they are pretty much regarded as a joke, since there are limits to what they can and are willing to do.
I just watched the end of the season finale and it said the Japanaese whalers were short 528 of their 1050 whale quota for the season. So Sea Shepard managed to stop them from killing about half the whales they were expecting to kill..
I applaud them for that!

I applaud them for that!
Me too, Wake.

They are making a pretty big difference, they just look retarded doing it haha.
But in my opionion it is wrong to kill animals that are very intelligent and most likely self-aware, enough so that they can vocally communicate with each other.
What they really need is a show called Shark Wars. Apporximately 40 million sharks are killed every year just for their fins, according to National Geographic. That is just insane, and sharks are one of the most important fish in the ocean, and have been around longer than the dinosaurs.

We should have dropped more Nuclear bombs in WWII if you ask me!
