Whale Wars

Whale Wars was a reality television series that aired on Animal Planet from 2008 to 2014, documenting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's efforts to stop Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean. The show followed Paul Watson and his crew on the MY Steve Irwin as they used direct action tactics, including sabotage and confrontation, to try to deter the Japanese whalers. The series focused on several campaigns, including Operation Migaloo, which targeted the Japanese whaling vessel Nisshin Maru in 2008. The show was criticized by some for its tactics, but also garnered praise for its portrayal of the complex issue of whaling and the efforts of the Sea Shepherd Society to protect marine life.learn more on wikipedia
