Season 2 of Whale Wars has one of the most dramatic premier episodes you’ll see. It was the first episode I saw of this show and I was hooked from the beginning. It’s unique and interesting, they show you ships crashing into eachother, deck people throwing shit at the other ship, whales getting harpooned… pretty intense shit. Obviously they made the episode this way to grab your attention and try to have you stick around for the rest of the season.
Every episode is pretty much uneventful until some dramatic twist at the end of the hour. I ask myself why I keep watching and the answer is that I’m very much entertained either way. Yet it’s probably not in the way it’s intended to be. With each episode I watch I gradually begin to favor the Japanese whalers instead of the Sea Shepherds. It’s not only because the Steve Irwin is comprised of a group of ugly ass people that seldom shower, but also because they have a pretentious and elitist outlook on their ’cause’. They’re also hypocritical to the core. They do shit like throw bottles of butyric acid (glorified stink bombs) on Japanese decks, board their ships, ram their boats, fire flares at the crew, lay out a big ass rope to tie up the ship’s propeller, contemplate boarding ships and disabling communication devices, contemplate attacking a ship while it’s looking for a lost man at sea… and I say ‘contemplate’ because most of these ideas are never carried out due to their overwhelming incompetence. The justification of these acts? “It’s a war out here and there will be casualties.”
Yet when the Japanese strike back the Sea Shepherds start crying like pussies. As a group of hippies in an inflatable raft get close enough to the Japanese ship (the Yushin Maru) to throw bottles of butyric acid, the Japanese go on the defensive and shoot them with water cannons and throw fist sized copper nuts leaving the fools dazed and bruised. The Japanese also have an LRAD device that emmits focused audio waves that can disorient people and possibly induce seizures. They point it at the rafts and even the fuckin’ chopper, likely with the hopes that it will crash and burn hahaha! The pilot said something about his legs feeling weak and he got the fuck up out of there. Cut to a video of a rat-looking skinny guy saying they crossed the line and “I can’t believe they’re trying to hurt us”. Are you fucking serious? I can’t believe they don’t have sniper rifles yet, they’re just trying to whale and keep getting interrupted by you annoying fools. Also, any time the Sea Shepherds encounter any sort of resistance they immediately phone the media to ‘snitch them out’. What is this, the playground? Like it’s a push and shove game but as soon as someone goes a bit rough these guys run to the nearest adult to complain. And they call themselves ‘pirates’….
Even though it’s a type of documentary show, it doesn’t show the full story. The Japanese whalers are a faceless evil opponent. They should do a counter show, with cameras on their decks documenting their side of the story. It would be called “Deadliest Catch: The Yushin Maru”. Episodes would range from guys freezing their asses off on the deck, looking for whales, “oh shit here come the crazy white people!”. Then there could also be character development-type shots of them lounging around eating and having a good time when all of a sudden butyric acid bottles come flying in and making everything smell like ass.
Speaking of ‘Deadliest Catch’, how fucking ironic is it that this show is about trying to stop whaling because the animals being killed are “sentient beings” yet on commercial breaks they’re pimping “Deadliest Catch”? Those white guys are doing the same as the Japanese whalers, except instead of whales it’s a shitload of crabs in a cage. How is this acceptable? Because we’re in a country where fish and crabs are acceptable foods then this is okay? Japanese people love to eat whale so that’s what they hunt. We don’t, so that makes it ‘wrong’? Or is it that whales are valuable and crabs are worthless creatures?
The solution to these disagreements can only be solved one way: make the Sea Shepherds eat whale meat. That must taste hella good if the Japanese are that crazy over it. Then they might have a change of heart.
Whaling is the same shit as the beef industry in the US. Cows in farms basically as prisoners destined to go to the slaughter house. What kind of life is that? Makes me sad. Yet when environmentalists try to stop it and get rid of the industry my biggest question is “fool, have you eaten beef“?? That shit’s bomb! It’s a necessary evil. My guess is that it’s the size of the animal. Doing research from sources other than this show gives me a better perspective of things. It reminds me of the reason why I was interested in the show in the first place, something about the pic below just feels wrong to me. So I guess I agree with the Sea Shepherd’s goal, I just don’t like the actual people.
Final Thoughts
The season finale was a bad ass episode and had everything that I wanted to see. It’s a continuation of the first episode and the Sea Shepherds really got into it with the Japanese fleet. The production on this show is awesome and it really shows on the last episode. The music and fast cutting of video shots gives a good sense of urgency. It’s the editing that makes episodes where they mostly question how much fuel they have left entertaining, so now that there’s real action things got pretty intense. I’m looking forward to season 3.

thats a crazy pic…As long as they arent killing whales like crazy to the point of extinction its ok. Its not as stupid as killing tigers for their fur & stuff when theres only like 300 (or whatever the number is) in the world. If they kill them for food great, scientific purposes thats good too. its not like they kill them for sport
Yeah the question has to be asked why are the Japanese so interested in supposedly researching whales, and why do they have to kill over 1,000 each year when they’re basically endangered.
I just watched the 10th episode and it was dope. It reaffirmed for me that this shit’s wrong, I can sit here and make light of the stupid Sea Shepherds but after seeing a whale struggle for it’s life for 25 minutes is countless times worse than the ending to “Fast Food Nation”. They’re trying to do a good thing but you really need professionals in order to make a difference. Next Friday is the season finally and the preview looks raw.
fucking japanese fishermens
fucking japanese fishermans,someday I’ll kill you
that’s the spirit!
Hahaha by the looks of season 3 – they’re on their SHIT!
i saw part of one episode where the japanese were following their ship so that they could let the other whalers know where they were
muthafuckers are in all out war out there
Yeah straight up Recon ship…. I’m waiting for the Ady Gil speedboat to get fucked up. I read about it last year and they’ve shown clips that it got fucked up, 6 million bucks down the drain lol
I think we got a big jap- hippo out here… contemplate My ass…
killing 100s of whale in the name of fucking Research….
i was amazed to know that the Australian Govt. didn’t stand by the Sea Shepherd activists… Rudd is Rude indeed Filthy piece of racist…
the Sea Shepherd did the a great job…
Support them and Fuck Japan Favored pussies out here
Japan Flavored Pussy hahaha I don’t know why but that came to mind.
have you seen the COVE!!! its a documentary by RIC O’ BArry he was the little boy that came out in the movies FLIPPER.. and of course got attached and understood dolphins well.. well this is a documantary that focusus in the killings of dolphins in japan! how they confuse the dolphins trapped them and kill them! wow makes you hate japannesse people!!!! They are some CRUEL HUMANS!!! not all… but the ones doing all the harm to the pooor dolphins!
Forgot to say JAPANESSE PEOPLE GO BALLISTIC WHEN YOU CATCH THEM IN THE ACT!!!
i’ve heard of The Cove, i added it to my netflix Q. it sounds interesting
Whoever wrote the main comment is clearly not aware of any information behind the scenes…maybe you should do your research first before you make such foolish statements and look like a complete jackass! You might not to people who don’t know anything but you are pathetic to people who have info on what’s really going on! uhahaha if anything is entertaining it’s your lack of knowledge!
go Sea Shepherd!!!!
Im going to assume your talking about me, & no im not very well informed on Whaling, its not something im passionate about. Soooo since i am not well informed, I threw in the very important word “if” & then gave my opinion.
If they kill them for food (which i found out isnt the case) then good. Scientific research then good too afterall
Humans > Whales (or any other animal)
so if its in the benefit of humanity for animals to die, then im all for it.so get off ur high horse & suck its cock
My guess is Janine must be very well informed on cock; her knowledge on cock is second to none-knowing the in’s and out’s of cock, anyone trying to speak on cock seem pathetic compared to the info she has on cock. Cock is not entertaining: she does it because she HAS to. Although Janine may not have a cock (maybe so) she is fully prepared to speak on cock, have it be in and/or around her mouth, because cocks are living things too.
go Janine!!!! may you suck one veiny bastard
*of course i may not know how veiny this cock may be-i have no knowledge on the above foretold cock. . .but i am indeed knowledgeable on the cock I hold-thus i feel compelled to tell you that it’s veiny indeed*
hahaha stupid broad, coming on here to talk shit yet brings nothing to the table.
” but you are pathetic to people who have info on what’s really going on!”
Well you are pathetic here for alluding to some privileged knowledge you possess but never divulge it.
I agree, if whales have to get taken out like that for the betterment of society and people in general then so be it. We’re still fighting for human rights so whales have to go to the back of the line.
haha los u crack me up
the broad doesnt want to educate other people. if other people know what she knows, she wont feel as important
dcap,
you sound like someone who believes humans are gods and can take whatever they want and do whatever they want with it.
You forget that the world does not need human beings…the environment and animals don’t need us. In fact this world would be a better place without humanity.
Humans however NEED the environment and everything in it to survive. If we mess with the circle of nature we are destroying us in the end.
And no they are not for research, they have never provided any figures, the meat is sold as food but contains explosive amounts of toxic mercury which Japanese people are not even aware of and it’s being sold to them.
Everything about the whaling is nonsense and simply there to make big bucks nothing else.
Maybe i have brightened your horizon a little….
Los, are you really feeling good about yourself writing this sort of stuff?
Well you’re right about everything you said except that i think we are gods. We’re at the top of the food chain, so yea we can basically do whatever we want as a species.
As far as the whaling, basically the only thing i see wrong with it is that you say it is toxic. Thats crazy if true, if you have any sources backin it up please post.
O yea, & Los certainly does enjoy ‘writing that sort of stuff’
Why do you care so much for whales-they kill too, plankton and other small fish. . .they have to eat. What about them? you don’t care for them? whats wrong with you? these bastards are going around killing and you want to defend them? you make me sick.
Bottom line is we do what we must to survive; and that’s life son. All i know is if it was just you and me-and i’m starving, it’s not going to be me taking a dirt nap
I must say i think it is wrong to kill 1000 animals a year for research. I would say it is a lie.
