Vegetarian Star

“Are there moments where I’m fearful? No. I’ve been doing it all my life. It’s just like a routine kind of thing. I’ll be doing this until I die. I don’t think you really have to retire from what you do.”

Season 3 of Whale Wars premieres this Friday at 9PM E/P, during the same week activist Pete Bethune‘s trial began for an alleged assault in Japan.

According to the Daily News, the prosecutor said Bethune threw an rancid butter bomb which injured a Japanese crewman, causing burns to his face.

According to Bethune, it was no more harmful that eating a chunk of the cholesterol, saturated filled spread on a piece of bread.

“It’s organic and biodegradable and would not harm anyone,” Bethune said.

Watch the sneak peak for this Friday’s premiere.

Whale Wars Season 3 Promo Poster

Animal Planet has released the Whale Wars season 3 promotional poster featuring Australian director of Sea Shepherd, Jeff Hansen, who Ecorazzi thinks is a look alike for Pete Bethune.

Bethune was not available to pose for the poster though, as he is being held in Japan on charges of “trespassing, causing injuries, obstructing commercial activities, vandalism and carrying a weapon.”

Bethune was taken into custody after boarding ship Shonan Maru 2 in an attempt to make a citizen’s arrest of its captain.
