Re: Whale Wars
I think killing whales, especially endangered species, is horrible.
However, I think the Sea Shepherd crew are not people I would ever want to sit around and have a beer with.
I tried watching a few episodes the other day, and they struck me as incredibly douchey.
I was also shocked at how passionate but also utterly incompetent several of the crew members were. (In terms of not realizing how dangerous it really can be in Antarctic waters)
I also disagree with their tactics, especially when it comes to throwing stuff (like acid) at the Japanese ships and trying to disable them.
I once had a college student who told me he ate manatee. He said it was strange, because depending on where on the animal the cut of meat came from, it could have a texture like beef, pork, chicken, fish, or shellfish.
