Whale Wars Begins Tonight!

Don’t miss Whale Wars, which has its debut on Animal Planet tonight.  I was lucky enough to see a preview of this show at AR 2008 and I’ve been eagerly anticipating it since.  The ad I saw the other day literally gave me chills.  Can’t wait!  Seriously, don’t miss it.

I could go on and on, but instead, check out Stephanie Ernst’s blog entry about the show on Change.org.

Whale Wars
Nov. 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT
During the 2007-2008 campaign, Animal Planet captured the intensity of Sea Shepherd’s mission and the trials and tribulations of the crew in a new seven-part, hour-long weekly series WHALE WARS, premiering Friday, November 7th at 9 PM. The series draws attention to this global conservation issue that has caused friction between several nations over the practice of whaling in oceanic territories. Highlighting both the controversial whaling trade and the tactics that Sea Shepherd and its staff and volunteers use to attempt to cripple it, the series documents the group’s three-month sojourn across the icy Antarctic waters at the far end of the globe. Each week on WHALE WARS, Animal Planet will take viewers on a powerful and adrenaline-fueled adventure to spotlight how the group takes action against these whaling operations.

Check out the trailer here.
