Whale Wars Ends With an Explosion

Whale Wars is a new reality show brought to us by Animal Planet. In addition, boy am I hooked. Whale Wars came to the end of its short season this Friday night. However, luckily for us fans out there, a new season has already been announced for 2009.

For those of you who have not yet watched, Whale Wars is about an organization named Sea Shepherd, who risk their life to protect whales. The Japanese is the Sea Shepherd biggest enemy as they hunt down and brutally kill many whales a year. The law states that certain amounts of whales are allowed to be killed each year in the name of research. The Japanese even write research on the sides of their boats to clam their innocents. However, the Sea Shepherds do not believe the Japanese. They believe the whales are killed just for the processing of their meat, which is sold to Asian markets.

Sea Shepherd does employ hands on attacks, without violence, to try to stop the Japanese from killing whales. Each whale they can stop from being killed is a victory for the Sea Shepherd, and they will risk their life protecting them.

In the finale Episode, the Sea Shepherd encounters one of the main Japanese boats. The boat they find is a processing boat for the whale meat. If they can get this boat on the run, it will stop the other Japanese boats from being able to hunt any whales. I normally do not post an entire episode of a show on this blog. However, the whole episode was exciting and I believe that if you can take the time to watch it, you will become a fan of Whale Wars. The battle scenes with the Japanese are intense and explosive. I hope you will take the time to watch theses.
