Anyone see this? It comes on Animal Planet.
Basically there is an environmental group (Sea Shepard) that spends its time harrassing Japanese whaling ships who are whaling in protected waters. Japan claims they are only killing thw whales for "research".
Kind of an odd but interseting show, a lot of eco-type hippies doing raids on the whaling ships, they throw sometype of acid bomb and some other weapon designed to disable the whaling ships prop.
Sure its a good-hearted effort and all but to me its a lot like modern day piracy. They also struggle with military like chain of command issues on the ship when the captain is down for a nap.
