Bob Barker made an appearance on Mike Huckabee‘s talk show, The Huckabee Show, along with Chuck Swift, captain of the MV Bob Barker, the anti-whaling ship named after the former Price Is Right host.

Both men discuss international whaling treaties and Sea Shepherd’s work. Barker says the goal is to sink the Japanese whalers economically and claims this past year was especially successful because the whalers lost money.

Barker is big supporter of Sea Shepherd, having donated several million dollars to the cause.

A new episode of Whale Wars is on Animal Planet tonight at 9PM EST, and we’ve got some footage of tonight’s episode featuring the greatest prank an adult can do. Best part: it’s all in the name of saving whales.

The Sea Shepherd crew does a lot of tactics to prevent Japanese whalers from killing whales, including throwing stinkbombs on their boat to create a rather…unpleasant experience.

Watch the clip, “Stinkbomb Showdown,” for a trip down memory lane of high school toilet papering the Principal’s home. Wait…you never did that. You were the good kid and would never do something so…wasteful and not environmentally friendly.

2008 Summer TCA Tour - Day 3

If you followed the Whale Wars series on Animal Planet, you know Captain Paul Watson and his crew on the Steve Irwin ship, which included actress Daryl Hannah, used prank-like tactics to throw off the whalers to try to keep them from killing whales in what they claim is for research purposes, including throwing rancid stink butter bombs at the ship.

Now, the whalers have fought back. After the Steve Irwin collided with the Japanese whaler ship, the hunters decided to get even by throwing chunks of bloodied whale and whale fat at the Captain and his crew.

Interestingly enough, if the whales are captured for research purposes, why are the whalers throwing away good study material? If they’re allowed to capture them, surely they’d find a good use for the materials besides blubber bombs. 

Captain Watson claims the collision was accidental. Japanese whalers say otherwise. Take a look and tell us what you think.
