"Whale Wars" Season 4 Premiere
If you define reality TV Snook, Boston Rob and overweight people shed half their weight, be prepared: You have more choices for television to real life. There is a serious drama built on the high seas, rights and lives of whales. Just know where you can find.
Animal Planet's "Whale Wars" began the season 4 tonight. The show is documentary, part reality and part social activism huge vehicles. It is based on the organization, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and its mission to save the whales in Antarctic waters.
At the helm of the project: The founder of Greenpeace, Paul Watson. He asked at the beginning of the show, as the Navy was beginning to leave Hobart, Australia to stop whaling, "You can not stop whaling, is not it?" His answer: "You can not put an end to slavery, is what they once said."
This season's "Operation No Compromise." The star of the series presents the latest addition to the fleet of three ships, Gojira, a state machine stolen from the front which replaces the Ady Gil, which sank after hitting a whaling ship last season. It is commanded by Captain Lockhart Maclean.
Older members of the fleet of ships is called the Steve Irwin and Bob Barker (yes, the name of Bob Barker, an animal activist, who had given money to the campaign of Sea Shepherd.)
Bob Barker is an old ship - and "The Early Show today, the drama surrounding the loss of its umph. Captain Alex Cornelissen, is struggling to move forward on the journey. No loss of fuel, and when the ship's engineer is to explore the depth of the ship, it can bump on his head, giving him a blood flow of a dripping all over his bald head. The ship is beautiful, and the blood is purified.
Scroll all the beauty of icebergs, the team of three ships of Sea Shepherd, six days after the journey ends in the Southern Ocean. They are beginning to look a couple of trips to whaling expect to be trolling these waters. E 'urgent, because every day I wait and see, say the whales in the waters.
But it's the needle in the haystack - Sea Shepherd knows the whalers in the water somewhere, but have no idea where exactly to find them. They focus on the area where the whales eat shrimp. And find a ship. After a week at sea, there is a harpoon ship to their sites. And then the whole fleet, said that normally takes weeks to find.
There are three types of ships in the fleet, apparently Japanese. There are ships of security to protect Navy ships and harpoon to kill whales. There are also factory ships process the catch and the key objectives of Sea Shepherd. If they can cut the factory ship out of the meat can be processed.
The helicopter was sent, when they find to do some reconnaissance fleet and the fleet of Sea Shepherd, ready to approach the water, but snow is backed by helicopter from the beginning, so that only the eyeballs on whaling.
Bob Barker will start after a harpoon vessel in the interim, but the ship against a large field of ice, an area that killed 22 people a few weeks earlier. There is a "beep" to cover the curse and stress that tears the ship through the ice floes. They want the ship to be moving harpoon and fish can not, for whales, but did so through a minefield of ice is a challenge.
Meanwhile, Steve Irwin seeks the factory ship of large fish. No ice, but rough seas.
Besides the new vessel is a device that shoots projectiles tires whalers. They call it Spud-gun and he shoots at 200 feet. The crew is preparing as the team closes in
And so we leave this episode, the three whaling ships on the spot. Cliffhanger of sorts.
This is the third campaign team to stop hunting. The whalers said the whales for science, but have not agreed to be registered for the show in past seasons, according to network news.
