Whale Wars (2008– )
6/10
Decent stuff, but for all the bad reasons.
28 August 2009
This is not a classic program & the people chasing the whalers really don't have any clue about cultural or religious aspects on why the Japanese or other cultures eat things that we wouldn't. I enjoy the show, but mainly because of the way they all conduct themselves. You know other cultures eat dogs, cats, or whatever but for some reason that seems to pretty well ignored. What everyone reminds you of on the ship is these are all of the people that were made fun of or booed at because of their lack of education or just plain ignorance. Greenpeace is already messed up, though I can understand saving some animals to a certain extent, but for this so-called "Captain" getting voted out 11-1 as his was the only dissenting vote, is pretty pathetic in it's own right. Back to the show, it's enjoyable, but if you take anything that is being done seriously well that's sad. How these people can take off 2 months at a time w/out losing their job if they aren't already mooching off their respective countries. It's doubtful anyone would hire these borderline personalities to begin with, well who knows. Their is a line that needs to be drawn as far as conservation is concerned and what's even worse is that they most definitely cause more harm than if they did nothing. These people all have such high self-importance of themselves that quite simply doesn't exist. If you want to get a couple chuckles & see how NOT to conserve, well this is for you, if you take it all seriously and cry when a whale is killed, well skip it.
