Whale Wars, a show on the Discovery Channel, exposes the sad world of illegal whale hunting, and helps to stop Japanese Whalers. It is a fight that has been going on for a long time, but has just recently been placed on cable television for all to see.
While this is not "news" per se, the show is exposing information that most would not generally know about, and could potentially show interest in. Things are always happening to, like just recently, when a Japanese Whaling boat tore apart the crew's new $2 million ship. While no one died, it put a big damper in the "take-down" process. But the efforts to stop this violence will continue, despite the set-back.
I feel like events like this should be more publicized: Oprah's on T.V. all the time for her "good deeds", but here people are risking their lives to stop illegal violence, and we don't find out about it until a series of shows comes out.
The Sea Shepherds are not the only people who help to stop this cruelty: there are many others, yet there is very little about it in our media, and I do believe that events like this are news. Poor whales.
