We should all know who the Whale Wars people are, AKA the "Sea Shepards". If not: [url]http://animal.discovery.com/tv/whale-wars/[/url]
What's your opinion on them?

This was supposed to go into GD...
I think they're doing the right thing, whales are hunted too much these days.
they seem pretty fucking dumb
I haven't really seen much of it, but if it's working, then sure thing

[url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vessel-seized-to-the-tuna-14m/story-e6frf7jo-1226099320924]They just had their ship seized[/url]
Had something to do with breaking open Fisherman's nets. Which is illegal. While Fishing is legal.
They are idiots.
Unless what they're doing is preventing extinction I have very little cares to give.
I'm talking about within the next 10 years extinction.
If <country> is fishing at a pace which allows the whale population to be stable, then it's okay.
All I got from that trailer is that they're in boats and they want to kill other people in boats.
What does this have to do with whales..?

They are trying to stop whalers from killing whales.
Other [Please State]
I don't give a shit.
Other :
Survival of the fittest thing is what matters.
It seems like they don't really do a good job of stopping whaling. Does anyone remember that south park episode about them?
Other. I don't really pay attention to that show / what that crew does.
They're a huge pain in the ass

During the last whaling season, they prevented the Japanese from taking any whales.
What they're doing seems right, but really it's horribly illegal, dangerous, and stupid.

It's also not even effective
Sorry Zilla, I would have kept it in GD if there were loads more info in the OP.
Anyways, the Sea Shepherds have a good cause, but they're idiotic, do things that are easily questionable in legality, twist words and situations to benefit their cause and put people in danger doing things that they shouldn't be. In short, they're like a more tame version of PETA, only without killing the animals.
Their cause is just, as the Japanese do sort of take advantage of loopholes in order to sell whale meat, but there are better ways than physically assaulting them with stuff to get the message across.
What they are doing is right, but they can't possibly think that what they are doing is going to help.
I watched a couple episodes and laughed all too hard at how fucking stupid they are, also when is the "war" part going to kick in and firefights occur? Then I'd be interested in watching those idiots.
their cause is just but they go about it in the wrong ways. Anyone who says "hurr hurr who cares humans are the only important beings/survival of the fittest!!!" are ignorant idiots that don't realize that those whales are an integral part of the marine food chain and if they disappeared out right it would collapse.

The thing is, we can feed on other shit.
I am against whaling, but what they are doing is solving nothing.
Two options
1. Seek legal methods to stop/regulate scientific research through whaling
2. Actually go to war, as in start sinking ships

Japan was considering sending a naval vessel with the whaling fleet. Not sure if they're going to or not.
Don't get me started on Greenpeace.
They're idiots in so many ways.
It's like every big organization who wants to save animals isn't competent enough to do it.

Greenpeace started as a bunch of hippies with a ship that wanted to stall a nuclear test. They got a big ego and have not a clue what they are doing.
Fuck you, Whaleru.
I support why they are doing it, just not so much how.

Yeah I know they never let me get ANY whaling done
I really like the South Park episode based on this. The Japanese should just shoot the people with their harpoons.
