Since watching the exciting trailers for Whale Wars, I’m looking forward to watching the show which starts at 9pm tonight. (Although it may have to be Skyplussed as it clashes with the new series of Ashes to Ashes!)

It follows radical environmentalists the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as they attempt to stop the Japanese from hunting down and killing whales in Antarctica.

Whale Wars

The self proclaimed eco-pirates are not afraid of direct action disabling tactics such as launching missiles, ramming ships and even boarding the Japanese vessels as recently shown on the news. Their tactics may be controversial but it makes captivating viewing. To preview the series visit www.discoverychannel.co.uk/web/whale-wars/
