I’m in season two of “Whale Wars,” and my beloved if flawed heroes are facing LRADs, hardware, and nets that protect the whalers from their butter bombs. While I oppose whaling and most commercial fishing – sorry, it tends not to be sustainable when it’s not just for a local market – the drama itself is just delicious.
Whatever one’s opinion of whaling, the conflict between idealists looking to take a stand here and roll back much of what is wrong with the world versus a big monied exploiter is fascinating. And touching.
