Whale Wars will begin its 4th season in the Southern Ocean on Friday, June 3rd at 9:00 p.m. on Animal Planet.

The series, which has been nominated and received several prestigious film awards, will show Captain Paul Watson and his crew fighting to protect whales in the waters by thwarting Japanese whalers. Season 4 will feature several new additions to the crew’s equipment, including a new vessel named Gojira, a helicopter, secret GPS devices and more.

It’s a risky job, but it’s one that has continuously caused a decline in the number of whales killed every year and caused whalers to completely abandon the hunt prematurely last year.

“In order to save the whales, people have to be willing to risk their lives,” Watson said. “We can’t stop whaling? That’s what they once said about slavery, but it was stopped. So yes, we can stop whaling.”

Below is a sneak peek from season 4.

Comments Off on Whale Wars Crew Gets In Stinkbomb Showdown

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.
