Whale Wars Crew Gets Three Vegan Meals A Day Between Shoot-Outs

The Animal Planet television series, “Whale Wars,” premiered on November 7, 2008. If you’re looking to watch a vegan, eco-pirate show, this may for you.
The heavily Hayden Panettiere promoted show stars Captain Paul Watson, who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He and his crew on the boat named “Steve Irwin” after the late crocodile hunter, attempt to non-violently stop Japanese ships from hunting whales that are to be later used in research purposes.
The crew is fed three vegan meals every day, as was revealed in the introductory episode. No word on if every one on board is completely vegan or if the Captain just has some strict rules about what happens on his boat.
Some of the tactics the crew uses to deter the whale hunters are throwing stink bombs filled with rancid butter on the ships.
And this is not your typical peaceful protest. In one episode, Watson was allegedly shot, but was protected by his bulletproof vest.
Is this Whale Wars or Cops?
It will be interesting to see if veganism comes up in future episodes between shoot ’em up moments with the hunters.
