Whale Watchers Look the Wrong Way As Huge Animal Breaches

the daily dish More on PawNation: Awesome, Fish and Marine, Funny, Humpbacks, The Dish, Weird

    One might think it would be hard to miss a 45-foot humpback surge, but somehow the extraordinary event was missed by a boat of people. This tour was cruising along the Cork coast of Ireland to get a look at the whales who have recently made the area home.

The TV show Whale Wars is awesome! Watch Steve Irwin fight off the Japanese whaling fleet every year!

I cheer for the Japanese. Irwin does dangerous, illegal and immoral things to fishermen just trying to do their jobs. the fact that they haven't attacked the Bob Barker with military force show the Japanese have more patience than America would.

The Steve Irwin crew…"Immoral”? Reality check, aisle 2. Have you got some Tokyo Rose subliminal message playing on your IPod made by the Japanese Whaling industry? They're butchers, if you need proof, watch a video about Shark-Finning, the barbaric behavior of slicing the dorsal fin off a live shark the helpless animal then sinks to the bottom and drowns, or gets mauled by other sharks, unable to swim. All so your “oppressed” Japanese Fishing conglomerates can make hundreds of millions selling Shark Fin Soup or it’s ground into a powder to help the not-so-well-endowed Japanese men be more viral (a total myth of course). Bet you rooted for the Soviet Men’s All Star Hockey team when the USA college kids beat them in the ’80 Olympics.

iIrvin is doing a lot of good , to begin with the japs are lying their to their teeth , for one they claim to be harvesting wales for research when it is actually to produce cosmetic , same for the sharks and other fish they have fished to the brink of extinction in chili and now north American, by passing international fishing laws , while American fishing boat stay in port the japs and Korean operate
in total impunity. get the fact before posting stupidity
