“Whale Wars” Begins Tonight on Animal Planet

(From materials I was sent by the PR Company for Animal Planet–though Patty told us about it over a week ago . . .)

Whale Wars

Nov. 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT (Tonight)

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.

Here's a sneak preview . . .

My household was chosen by Neilsen to record our television usage for a week. We found ourselves watching television just to support programs we should support but that we don't ordinarily watch, which was an interesting psychological phenomenon. We'll be watching–or at least DVR-ing–Whale Wars.
