Whale Wars - Series 2 [DVD]

Highlighting both the controversial whaling trade and the tactics that Sea Shepherd and its staff and volunteers use to attempt to cripple it, "Whale Wars" documents the group's three-month sojourn across the icy Antarctic waters at the far end of the globe. In each episode, viewers will see how Sea Shepherd take action against alleged illegal whaling operations. The Society's fight to eradicate Japanese whaling on the high seas - where international laws are interpreted by different countries and organizations in different ways - utilizes some aggressive techniques, including ramming and disabling whaling ships; disrupting whale carcass processing; engaging in physical entanglement; and boarding and dispersing fleets of whaling vessels.
