Whale Wars: Viking Shores

[flvegan]

Meant to post this the other day, got too wrapped up in life and forgot...

Every year, the people of the Faroe Islands herd pilot whales to their shallow shores and kill them for their meat. WHALE WARS: VIKING SHORES follows the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as it sets sail to end this ancient tradition known as "The Grind."

Friday nights, 9pm on Animal Planet. They're also doing a special on Operation Blue Rage involving the pursuit of illegal tuna fishers and one helluva net liberation.

1. Kudos to the Sea Shepherds. They did an excellent job shutting down the Bluefin Tuna

poachers.

2. Hello human race. You are greedy and short sighted to a fault. That's why when humans

annihilate themselves there will be no one to blame as the guilty will be dead. nt

3. Pilot Whales

Are these animals endangered? This is the first I have ever heard of Pilot Whales. If not, are there numbers low enough to warrant putting them on the endangered species list?
