Whale Wars, anybody watch

[RACER X]

i watch it from time to time, thought the peeps had a good "cause" but were just stupid people.

but then the last episode they showed a whale getting speared, then shot/killed, then butchered up.........

they killed 3-4 in a few hours


man, that was eye opening. and i knew the process but to watch it happen.

not as bad as the dude's beating the baby seals w/ bats. but they did kill a lil whale.....sad.

[azoomm]

Um, what did you think they did with the whales?

[Rider]

My son watches every episode so I've seen a few of them. I don't think I'd risk my life for a whale.

[Trip]

I watch it and think it's hilarious.

I think the people are stupid and probably deserve to have their boat sunk for ramming ships. If you want to play, you have to be willing to pay. I could care less about the whales or whaling. I would slaughter an animal, bleed it, cut it up into edible portions, cook it, and then eat it if butcher shops didn't do it for me. The only time I wouldn't want hunting is if you were doing it to the point of extinction. Japan isn't doing that, they are specifically targeting a species that isn't on the verge of extinction and they also quota hunt so the population isn't effected, but facts ruin the point of the show. Their lethal sampling of whales also helps the fish stock in the ocean.

I'll give you whales, but they're definitely fucking up the shark population.

Shark fins are NOT going to make your little asian dicks bigger. Just keep making lots of money so you don't have to worry about it.. (Japanese, not you trip).

[Trip]

facts? i dunno, link?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Minke_Whale

Quota at 850, they are only getting a little over 500 with a population of over 500000.

I should record my husband's commentary while watching that show... it makes it all that much better :rofl: The lack of experience on their "sailors" has me surprised that they haven't completely sunk yet. Green Peace won't even claim these fools. Sure makes for good TV though. :panic:

[Amber Lamps]

:lol: There isn't a TV show about sharks yet. I would watch the nutzo's fight shark hunters too.

This is another of those rare topics where we are in complete agreement, Trip. The Japanese are not breaking any laws but these goof balls keep attacking them. It's ridiculous. I wonder if the Japanese whalers are interested in hiring someone who is will to "shoot" back? I wish just once that they'd attack one of these ships and you heard a loud *bang* and see a hole magically appear in their hull!:lol:

As far as how sad it is to see a whale butchered... well, I doubt that it's any more gruesome than the fate of the cow that sacrificed his life so I could eat at Checkers a minute ago.:lol:

Personally, I'd love to see a bunch of kooks go jump in the water to stop people from hunting sharks!

:lol: Yea, I've only watched a few episodes but I think they ran off the only guy that had any experience (old 1st mate?) because he wasn't a tree hugging, pc, cock sucker like the rest of them.:lol:

[LeeNetworX]

Meh. The commercials I've seen for it are enough to keep me from watching.

[dReWpY]

i watch it and think its pretty damn funny, they have no sea skills what so ever

I thought the Japanese had been breaking some sort of international treaty.....am I wrong?

Whaling is banned.

They harvest whales for "scientific" purposes, and then sell the meat.

[azoomm]

Whaling is banned.

They harvest whales for "scientific" purposes, and then sell the meat.

I mean, geeez - the ships all say RESEARCH on the side of them. What more proof do we need?? There is the right way to go about this, and there is the wrong way. Trying to take on a ship with a personal water craft while they are firing water cannons at you in freezing waters is the WRONG way.

Perhaps, but then I'm no expert :lol:

[Tmall]

If they were smart they'd find a better way to sabotage the ships.

All ships need cooling water for its equipment. All sea water suction occurs from a few common areas. If they could drop something in the water that would sink a bit and be sucked up, they may be onto something..

[Tmall]

Also forgot to mention that if anything is tangled in your prop, its a good idea to remove it ASAP.

Now, if some ropes with heavy weights got wrapped around it, the hull would take a beating and be potentially compromised.

[Homeslice]

I mean, geeez - the ships all say RESEARCH on the side of them.

And we're supposed to believe that? Come on.

[azoomm]

And we're supposed to believe that? Come on.

Of course we are. I mean, they are Japanese ships with the words in English - they simply must be serious. Right?

Now, read it all with sarcasm brackets. :wink:

I notice you put quotes around scientific --- If it's fake research, then it's just whaling, right?

They have thought of that - and even attempted it. The bummer for them, the Japanese crews thought of it too. And, the ship the Whale War idiots are on isn't rated for the cold temps. So, they are more at risk than the whalers themselves.

Exactly, if they aren't happy with the way international law is written, they should take it up with the U.N. All I know is that if a bunch of nut jobs attacked my ship I'd better not have so much as a rock on it! I think that a bunch of water balloons filled with whale blood/guts would do nicely!

[Tmall]

I could come up with ideas all day...

Ram the prop with some kind of extension.. That could knock the stern seals loose and flood em.

2 small craft with a chain between em. Weight in the middle of the chain. Come up behind and drag it until you catch the prop or a-frame and let it go...

Boats are so vulnerable, anybody with half a brain could sabotage one.

[Tmall]

I don't support a needless slaughter of animals.

If you do any research on whale meat, everything leads to most of it going to waste. And the hunt is essentially a traditional thing that keeps some fisherman employed. Somewhat like our Canadian seal hunt..

[Dave]

i hear zodiacs full of tnt work well too :rolleyes:

[Amber Lamps]

Hey I know, why don't we just kill all those people engaged in legal activities because we don't like it. This reminds me of the nut jobs that spiked a bunch of trees so loggers would get injured if they cut them down or the people who oil corners at the Gap because they don't like us speeding down 129.

The Japanese whalers have found a "loophole" in the law. Get together and change the law but to attack and potentially injure or even kill these sailors who are just trying to make a living... IDK maybe this is another case where I'm stupid/crazy/ an idiot/ etc but I don't get it. This would be like someone against deer hunting setting up booby traps on state land.

[Homeslice]

If they really aren't doing any scientific research, then it's not a loophole.......They're simply breaking the law :shrug:

[Tmall]

Werd, what slice said.

Besides, the greeners can play the same game.

They "lost" 6 or 7 chains with buoys attached at appropriate lengths..


I'm not advocating hurting anybody.

I'm saying make it so it costs them more money in repairs than they make from "research".

tree spiking is really fucked up. people get mauled by those things and if they don't die; they usually end up wishing they were dead because of the disabling injuries.

[Apoc]

Prove they are doing anything illegal though...

I feel the same way as tigger, I may not condone whaling, but they should be able to shoot those trying to sabotage their ships, in self defense...

If somebody was trying to sink my ship (if I had one), i'd think that was attempted murder.

[Tmall]

Except you're not supposed to have weapons in international waters...

[Amber Lamps]

If they really aren't doing any scientific research, then it's not a loophole.......They're simply breaking the law :shrug:

Maybe, but then why not have them arrested? They are obviously doing whatever is necessary to satisfy the laws as they stand on the books. Even Greenpeace is satisfied for the most part with the law. Although I am sure that they are working hard to eliminate even this small amount of whale hunting. I'm sorry but to me hunting is hunting. Why does a whale have a greater right to life than a deer? This particular species isn't endangered and these guys are staying well within their quota/limit.:idk: It'll never cease to amaze me how some animals are off limits and others are kill on sight.:lol:

[Tmall]

Foot in mouth.. Was thinkign of the Atlantic right whale, not minke..

[Apoc]

theres only one recorded incident of someone getting hurt from tree spiking in the USA in the last 30 years (just checked), and he was working in a sawmill, not actually felling the trees.

I checked cuz i wanted to see the damage they did, lol.

[Amber Lamps]

Except you're not supposed to have weapons in international waters...

Well, there's something I didn't know...

Ha the gun lovers will love this one... so that's why pirates have such easy pickings, since only the criminals have weapons.

Well, these are Japanese people we're talking about, I'm sure they could whip up something to combat these people. A slingshot, a giant robot, idk something! Shit, how are they spearing the whales/ they should use that!:lol:

[Dragonpaco]

the spike was always meant to fuck people up at the sawmill. and i've heard alot more than 1 30 year old story from the loggers up in forks, WA when i was hanging up there

They actually do get real scientific research from it. Like on fish patterns and how much the whales are taking out the fish stock and the IWC who gets pissed off at them for whaling, also said their research work has been very good. :lol:

The whaling restrictions are only in effect on countries who are part of the IWC.
so, if Japan is not a member, they can hunt all they like.

Seems like Norway still does it.

I wasnt debating how it was done, just that barely anyone gets hurt from it, and there are no pictures of the injuries online :(

I dunno, maybe the Japanese gov't just doesn't care, or they want to protect that part of their economy.

As to your 2nd sentence, how are they satisfying the law? Doesn't look like they're obeying the law to me. Unless as you suggested, they never signed the treaty......in which case it's a moot point :shrug:

Besides, "international law" is never really enforced anyway. :lol:

The Americans bullied them into signing it. Told them, "Sign it, or we'll lower your quotas for other fish." They signed it, yanks said, "neener neener, we're lowering your quotas anyway.." <--- Wiki

[Apoc]

found this while i was looking around:

Canada

Nowadays, Canadian whaling is carried out by various Inuit groups around the country in small numbers and is managed by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The meat obtained from this whaling is commercially sold through shops and supermarkets. This meat is typically not available in southern metropolitan centers such as Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal but is more available in northern communities where whale meat is a component of the traditional diet. There is considerable consternation amongst whale hunters and conservationists about the hunt. The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society says "Canada has pursued a policy of marine mammal management which appears to be more to do with political expediency rather than conservation."

Canada left the IWC in 1982 and as such is not bound by the moratorium on whaling.

[Tmall]

The wikipedia is strong in this one. :lol:

[Homeslice]

Canada must be too cold for the Whale Warriors lol

Not surprising

[Tmall]

Our whaling literally occurs in a boat big enoug for 4 or 5 people. And the carcass is floated beside the dinghy until it can be hauled ashore.

Also, our guys are allowed so many strikes. If they're allowed 3 strikes, and they hit a whale and it dives, there goes a strike. You now have 2 more...

[VatorMan]

OK-ENOUGH of the "whale wars". Do you realize that EVERY Naval vessel out there throws massive quantities of BS overboard ? Where's the outrage about that? A single Aircraft carrier has over 5000 assholes on it wasting all sorts of BS.As soon as you reach 13 miles of the coast-dump everything overboard. I spent 13 years in the USN and am ashamed at all the harmful stuff we dumped over the side.

America needs to clean up its act before we can go after others.

So these boats are too small for a harpoon gun right?

[Tmall]

Funny you should mention what the navy does.

We treat all of our sewage before it is dumped, regardless of where we are in coastal waters.

We also melt down and store all plastic.

We pulp all paper and send it over the side. And all glass and metal are broken down into tiny pieces using a shredder before we put it in the ocean.

And food and such is ground up and used to feed the fishes.


We actually use your navy as an example of what not to do.

We can technically dump straight oil over the side if its an operational requirement. But, I think we'd be pretty much a ball of flames before that would happen.

[Tmall]

Slice, the boats are not too small for harpoons. But, they're the hand held kind.

[azoomm]

If you've ever seen the Mexican oil field, you wouldn't ever bitch about polution anywhere. Ever.

[VatorMan]

If you've ever seen the Mexican oil field, you wouldn't ever bitch about polution anywhere. Ever.

Yea I would. We pumped 21000 gallons of JP5 overboard because it had some water in it.

[Tmall]

Wow. With our laws. I'd tell the EO to go fuck himself before I would put a drop of wd 40 into the water.


We're trained in the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste before we evern set foot on board.

If you knowingly release ods or pol you can be fined up to a million dollars.

[Tmall]

Oh, true story.
We lost 200 litres of distillate over the side. It was due to a faulty valve. The upper deck engineer almost went to jail over it.

20000 gallons? You'd pick up a spill that size from satellite.

[Homeslice]

Yea I would. We pumped 21000 gallons of JP5 overboard because it had some water in it.

Um, how about simply holding on to it until you port?

[Homeslice]

Slice, the boats are not too small for harpoons. But, they're the hand held kind.

Those are some brave-ass whalers, then.

[Apoc]

They live in northern canada. Summer is a sunshower in July, and theyve been living that way for a few hundred years. Brave, tough, uneducated natives.

[Tmall]

Slice.. Fuel is run through coalescers. It seperates the water from the fuel.


It has to be run through these coalescers before it is allowed to be run in the engines.

So, if they have to run it through a water seperator before it goes to where it needs to be. Why dump it?


And, if water got into your JP5, (jet propellant 5) you have some serious issues.

Like a compromised tank..

I could go on all day on why fuel mixed with water wouldn't be dumped.

But, he may have just had a dumb ass co..

[Tmall]

Also, what did you guys do with the rest of your fuel?

There is a lot of condensation in fuel tanks. Which is why we run them through water seperators. Did you dump distillate too?

[Homeslice]

If this ship was going to be refueled by another boat and they needed the room, then yeah I could understand dumping it, but otherwise..........

[Tmall]

But! Fuel and water don't mix.

And fuel is seperated before it gets to the service tanks.

So, unless it was detected in the fueling, which they stop immediately when they take fuel samples, how could water and fuel emulsify before it was caught?

Question, isn't JP5 basically hi grade kerosene? Fuck the environment, that was a lot of loot!!! Man, if you had called me I would have tried to come get that shit somehow!!!:lol:

[Tmall]

Jp 5 is a fuel with a lower flash point than diesel.

We can mix it into our diesel, but we can't mix diesel in with it.

Its basically clean jet fuel.
It has tighter restrictions than regular fuel. We run our through the filters for 4 hours every single day, to ensure our birds don't fall out of the sky.

Don't know anything about their teeth but the intelligence, speed, and agility come from the dolphin side. Which is why Orcas (their scientific name means "Bringer of Death") are kings of the ocean. Giant Squids, Great Whites, etc generally do not fuck with a full grown Orca.

About 6 years ago I went whale watching off of Vancouver island.

We lucked into a super pod. There must have been 50 orca.

We just shit off the boat and drifted while they swam around us.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the coolest thing I have ever experienced.

Even got to see a whale boner! :lol: the tour guide says, "kinda humbling eh guys?" I told him, speak for yourself.

And to top it all off, while we're zooming back in a 400hp rhib, 4 cf 18s fly over us in formation.

By far, one of the coolest days in my life!

One of the biggest opponents to whale hunting is the whale watching industry. They don't care about population numbers or if whale hunting will have an impact on the population. All they care about is the $$$ that comes in from whale watching because it will drive whales away from easy hunting areas.

I'd want one as a buddy in the wild. Killer whales have attacked more humans in captivity than in the wild. Infact I think there is only 1 recorded incident in the world of a killer whale attack (that wasn't accidental).

Want to see how smart they are???

So today I have been feeling like shit, and havn't left the house all day.

Anyway, I've been watching a whale wars marathon, and damn thses guys are a bunch of untrained hooligans running around on the ocean. I guess they have been at this for 25 years (?), and I'm surprised that nobody has died yet. I'm no sailor so I really have nothing to base my thoughts on except that some of the shit they are doing is just nuts.

The Bob Barker is an ex whaling ship that is capable of breaking up ice, so they don't get stuck anymore. Could provide for all kinds of win for the TV audience.

That's what my husband said. It was designed as a sailboat with extra riggers and a badass motor instead of a sail.

The boat was cursed from the start, it had all kinds of issues when it was Earthrace. Probably good it is sunk now.

Ok...Break out your tin-foil, I have a theory...

You have a boat that is designed to do one thing only, race around the world on french fry grease. It costs a shit ton to insure and maintain, and people aren't exactly lining up these days, to sponsor round the world motorboat races that have effectively 9 spectators total.

What to do?

"Loan" it to Sea Shepard, and declare the loan as a tax write off.

Hint around that if you "Have a little accident", your insurance will cover it.

Act really bummed out when Sea Shepard people crash the fucking thing into a boat made out of shit boats should be made out of (that would steel, and lots of it).

Blame it on the Japs. (It worked for Pearl Harbor, it will work now).

Lets sum up;

Japs are bad.
2.5 mil in insurance money.
Tax write off for use of an asset.
Free press for Whale humpers.

It's fucking perfect.

He didn't loan it, he drove it into the Jap Whaler. The original guy who did all the round world trips was at the helm when it went down. It wasn't a moron hippy with no sea experience, it was the main guy from the beginning of Earthrace who sunk it.

Trust me, my accountant could figure out a way to write off my time, and the boat's time. Sea Shepherd is a 501(c)(3) charity.

All the better that the original skipper was at the helm. It's he said, Wii said, over who hit who.

This is kind of what I was thinking too. I didn't know that the guy who built it was at the helm, but it really doesn't change anything. The guy who built it did so with some of his money, but also a lot of donations. That gives me the impression that he isn't some Branson/Fossett billionaire with a hard-on for boats instead of balloons.

He is sitting on this boat that, as you said, is a fucking money pit. Hell, chicks don't even like it because it smells like the kitchen of a bad McDonald's and doesn't have a sunpad. He is also a certifiable tree hugger/animal nut/publicity hound so why not use the boat to help some whale-fuckers who happen to have a TV show. They screwed around for a few months dragging lines trying to foul whaler's props, but that didn't work.

Now he is sitting on this money pit boat and he is picking up dipshit by osmosis from the "Whale Wars" idiots, and failing at what he is trying to accomplish in front of a national audience on TV. Why not get the hell out of the show and get some cash in the process. The best way to convert a bunch of carbon fiber in to cash is with insurance. He gets the side benefits of additional publicity and helping the "Whale Wars" idiots.

It doesn't help that it looks like he gives it some gas (or biodiesel for fucks sake) right before the whaler gets to him.

[Curb]

Anyone watching Southpark tonight?

:lol:

wish i woulda waited like 3 more minutes then Tmall's pic woulda made sense:lol:

[Ineffable]

I read an article on the boat and as said before it was doomed from the beginning with TONS of problems when they originally built it, raced it, retrofitted it then sunk it. I think the whole premise of the whale wars thing is that they are hunting in certain areas that are considered 'wildlife reserves' or whatever they call them in the ocean.

These guys are a bunch of idiots IMO. If some TV network would give me money I would totally make my own whale wars show but have a fleet of fastboats with pneumatic guns loaded with ball bearings that go after the 'activists'. That would be entertainment.

Bethune's detention and arrest

Bethune boarded the Shōnan Maru 2 on February 15, 2010, claiming to be conducting a citizen's arrest on her captain for what he said was the attempted murder of him and his crew, and to present a $3 million demand for his lost boat.[52] He was detained by the ship's crew and taken to Japan, where he was arrested by the Japanese Coast Guard on March 12 on charges of trespassing.[53][54][55] On April 2, 2010, Bethune was indicted on five charges; trespassing, assault, illegal possession of a knife, destruction of property and obstruction of business.[56] He is being held without bond in a maximum security prison.[57][58]

Holy shit, they just showed it on whale wars. The Ady Gil had engines off and they were on top of it waiting for refueling from a ship that was days away. The Jap ship went after them directly and on purpose. It's pretty freakin crazy.

They weren't trying to mess with this ship, they had were letting the fleet go through and just needed more fuel.

The ady gil started up engines right before it happened to try to avoid them, so it looks like the ady gil tried to get in the way when they were actually trying to get the hell out of the way to avoid getting rammed.

GOOD!!! They have been asking for it for years. I've said it before, you will only take so much before you start hitting back. All that crying by the captain, maybe he should have thought about that before he put his "multi-million" boat in their way. I would have hit them a long time ago. BTW the captain even said that they had hassled the whaler all night. The other thing is how they made this SO dramatic and yet the boat was still floating hours later.

no, it's somewhere like 600-1000. They have several quotas for different species. They can take a bunch of Minke whales because they are like the rabbits of the whale population and aren't in that much danger of extinction.

[goof2]

We aren't looking at the extinction of cows anytime soon. Whales, on the other hand, are being hunted out of existence.

As Trip said the majority of whales they kill (Minke) are nowhere near extinction, or even endangered (population estimates usually start at the mid hundreds of thousands and go up from there). For the species more at risk the Japanese limit themselves to 50 each year out of estimated populations in the tens of thousands. I guess it comes down to what a person's objection is. If it is a moral objection, tough shit. If it is an environmental/species protection issue then the Minke killings should be acceptable.

[Amber Lamps]

It's a touchy feelie objection... these people don't care about facts or figures. No number of whales being harvested is acceptable to these kooks.

The whales of those other species, that they "only take in limited numbers", are smaller and smaller each year. That means a dwindling population, that will eventually be unsustainable.

Here is this past year's quota: 935 minke, 50 fin and 50 humpback whales per season

Not only have I not seen any research willing to state populations of fin or humpbacks year over year, most of the research I have seen specifically states that the numbers they give are too inaccurate to suggest population trends. I'd be interested to see any research you have come across to the contrary though.

Who says it's a "sanctuary" besides the whale people? Their tactics are enough to get themselves killed if I were on one of the other boats. They throw glass bottles at the Japanese ships and that alone would cause me to take action. Plus can't the acid in the bottles blind someone? The guys on these ships are just working fishermen no different than the Deadliest Catch guys. The japs are hunting whales within their quota and the law as it stands... I still don't see why whales have anymore right to live and not be eaten than crabs, lobsters, or any other animal?

No I don't... why are whales any more important than any other animal on this planet? To me they are not. They are just another animal... Why don't these guys take all that money they are throwing away on following the fleet and use it to pay this company not to whale?:lol: Someone should start a whale farm or something, like they do catfish. Btw I know that whales are really big but seriously, $1,000,000? Can you imagine what that meat must cost per pound? Who the hell is buying this crap?:idk:

IMHO whaling is like drugs trafficking, if you REALLY want to put an end to it, you'll focus on eliminating the demand. No demand=no profit=no whaling. I still think they should talk these guys into going up against the crab guys or the lobster guys... Now that would be exciting!... for about 15 min until they got their boat sunk...:lol:

Whales, dolphins, porpoises, orcas... They matter because, next to us, they're the most intelligent thing on the planet. They may be the closest thing to an intelligent alien species that we'll ever meet. They matter because any time that we bring another species to the brink of extinction, we're setting ourselves up for the same thing.

Whales, dolphins, porpoises, orcas... They matter because, next to us, they're the most intelligent thing on the planet. They may be the closest thing to an intelligent alien species that we'll ever meet. They matter because any time that we bring another species to the brink of extinction, we're setting ourselves up for the same thing.

The problem there is you classified whales with dolphins. Dolphins are extremely smart creatures. I don't believe whales are all that smart. They seem to be a step above a whale shark but they need air. I haven't seen whales exhibit any intelligent actions above a bird. A monkey would for sure be much smarter than a whale.

The only thing that saves the whales from being fished like tuna is that people mistake whales for a dolphin. People actually think Shamu and Willy are whales. I can't remember the last time I saw a whale do tricks.

A massive area of whales' brains is devoted to communication. They communicate over hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles. Whale Song is an intelligent action.

There are some birds near my place that communicate all fucking day long. I'm devoting a large portion of my brain to figuring out how I can unload a 10ga in the middle of a city and not draw attention.

They may also be smart but they seem so boring and remind me more of a herd animal than an independent animal. Maybe when we hear stories of a whale saving a diver from sharks or raping some beach goers I'll view them close to the human species.

I'm not going to deny though that they are cool animals.

No, no, no... I'm not saying put them in jail, the japs and consumers aren't doing anything illegal that I can see. If they were then the big, bad Australian fleet would be out there stopping them and the tree highers could be out focusing on their other great crusade which is tuna fishing... I'm saying that they should focus on the people that buy whale products and try and convince them to stop through education about alternative products/meat.

The same thing goes for drugs...as long as people still make excuses for their use... Hey why don't those whale guys take all that money and open stores that sell cheaper alternative products in the markets that are using whales...

Besides, whales do "stampede", they run like hell when the whaling ships come... Panic is a possible reaction regardless of species or intelligence level. Besides, a lot of you are trying to make judgments about "whales" using information about Orca, Dolphins, etc. Where's all this information that proves that a blue whale is anything more than a huge water cow...

I wonder that too some times... I wouldn't be surprised if the producers don't help them "find" the fleet. Oh and would someone explain how "blocking" the factory ship prevents the harpoon ships from hunting whales? They should go ahead and shoot whales anyway, telling the hippies that whether or not they can process the animals, they'll kill them anyway.

[itgirl]

I watch it and think it's hilarious.

I think the people are stupid and probably deserve to have their boat sunk for ramming ships. If you want to play, you have to be willing to pay. I could care less about the whales or whaling. I would slaughter an animal, bleed it, cut it up into edible portions, cook it, and then eat it if butcher shops didn't do it for me. The only time I wouldn't want hunting is if you were doing it to the point of extinction. Japan isn't doing that, they are specifically targeting a species that isn't on the verge of extinction and they also quota hunt so the population isn't effected, but facts ruin the point of the show. Their lethal sampling of whales also helps the fish stock in the ocean.

If you're talking about human-style intelligence then yes, we look to things like convolutions in the brain. If we're talking about things like ability to process sensory information, communication, and problem solving skills, then that is far less of an issue.

[Amber Lamps]

Uhuh...and whales are GREAT problem solvers right? If whales were so smart they would be able to avoid the hunters on their own....I will agree that they are smarter than the people supposedly helping them.
