So the fishermen don’t put them in a boat, they keep them in these huge pens, called purse seines, and pull the pens back home. So he attacked the fishermen injuring two of them while his buddies stole the tuna. You see it was the day after fishing season ended and so surely they must be criminals. So he automatically decided that they must be breaking the law, and Watson was going to make them pay. On the show I watched, Watson didn’t find anyone doing anything wrong on the ships he was allowed on, but the last ship ignored him when he radioed them demanding to board.
While he is attacking the ship, he sends some moronic divers down and they cut the nets and lets out all the tuna! What a bastard! He rams their boats and their fishing pens.
WHALE WARS FULL
Once he demands to see their catch, if the fishermen tell him to fuck off, he pulls up to them and throw glass bottles full of butyric acid at them. He rams their boats, and steals their fish. Watson apparently thinks that since he doesn’t like the way that the international agencies that govern fishing are doing their job that he can do whatever the hell he wants to the fishermen out there trying to catch some fish. Watson and his band of terrorists take it upon themselves to approach the fishermen and demand to be let on board to count fish and look for small ones being caught illegally. Paul Watson, the biggest media whore of all media whores, took some time off from harassing the Faroe Islanders over pilot whale fishing, and dropped by the Mediterranean and started harassing fishermen there about bluefin tuna. So people started saying, “Hey, we’re running out of bluefin tuna! Let’s stop fishing so many of them!” and so quotas were put into place much like they were for the King crab in Alaska.Īnd everyone lived happily ever after. It was fancypants Europeans and sushi eating Americans eating up all the bluefin tuna. Then the world starting getting kinda low on bluefin tuna because now it wasn’t just the people in Malta (population under 500,000) and the Japanese (population around 127 million) eating up all the bluefin tuna. Let me get out there and catch some bluefin tuna.” So they did. So lots of “greedy fisherman” said to themselves, “Self, why am I going out there catching fish that don’t sell for a lot when I could catch me some bluefin tuna? Because I’m a moron, that’s why. So now, fishermen can make five figures for every bluefin tuna they catch. In the last couple decades a bunch of fancypants places all over the world have been selling the hell out of bluefin tuna. All them there weird folks like Yankees and Californians like to eat sushi made with bluefin tuna. The Japanese like to make sushi with bluefin tuna. The island country of Malta,located about 700 miles NW of Libya, is inhabited by people who like to eat bluefin tuna. The waters of the Mediterranean sea apparently have lots of bluefin tuna. Nothing brings credibility to a cause like Daryl Hannah
WHALE WARS TV
However, rather than getting the rights to a sad Sarah McLachlan ballad and running ads on TV bring awareness to the “problem” Watson decided to fill up a black ship with a bunch of people wearing black clothes, and fly a black flag with a skull and a hook and a pitchfork on it and sail around to a bunch of places and terrorize fishermen. Now there is nothing wrong with saving the whales, or the bluefin tuna either if that is what your mission in life is. He has this big black ship that he fills up with misguided people who want to save the whales, or in the case of this episode, the bluefin tuna. There is this Canookian Canadian dude name Paul Watson. But let me back up and explain this damn show. That’s relevant because the episode of Whale Wars I saw was filmed in Libyan waters. In the interest of full disclosure, let me start by saying I was raised in Tripoli, Libya. I hope this doesn’t ruin my stellar reputation. I’m also going to suggest certain human populations be exterminated. So I’m just gonna say what I have to say about it and y’all can read it or not, and then I’m gonna get productive up in this ghetto shack of mine. Watching Whale Wars in the wee hours of Saturday morning got me heated though. Clearly they’ve never seen me play whack a troll in the comments when I have PMS. This morning I had some really nice comments in the million views thread (I got a million views y’all! woohoo!) sayin’ how nice I am and how I’m not mean and angry. I’ve been stewing on a post since Friday night that I know y’all probably don’t care about but I have to get it written so I can stop stewing about it.
