So I grew up watching animal shows on the Discovery Channel. Always loved it. As sportsmen we all have a certain respect for nature that you don't find in most people. Usually it runs much deeper than these kids that go to college and learn all the liberal propaganda and start huggin on trees. We grow up in the duck blind, the tree stand, the gulf, etc... From an early age our parents (usually dad) teach us to respect nature and how to live off the land to some extent.
Anyway, I kinda got off on a rant here. I've noticed lately that there has been some pretty extreme left wing "eco terrorists" getting some serious coverage. On Animal Planet there are shows like Whale Wars, The Cove and Blood Dolphins. These shows depict some pretty extreme activists doing some pretty extreme things in the name of animals. However, I find it humerous that you switch over to Discovery and you have shows like Deadliest Catch, Swamp Loggers, Swords, etc... Both stations are owned by Discovery and it seems like they are catering to both ends of the spectrum. Now I have watched all these shows, even the extreme ones like Whale Wars and The Cove. I like to see both sides of the case, I guess I try to be open minded to both parties. I believe in conservation 100% but at the same time some species need to be kept in "check". However, if we just go out and start whackin n stackin, you run into problems like we had with the American Alligator being hunted to the point that the population was almost history. We all have to be responsible sportsman, and for the most part 99% of us are. I'm just curious if any of you have seen these shows and what you think about them. I personally could never kill a whale or dolphin unless it was a life or death situation but in some cultures it is a way of life. Deer, ducks, hogs... no problem. What do yall think?

I think it's a boutique thing hitting the screen, just like all the sitcoms based on the lives of silly faggots. People will lose interest, whale wars is already old, and I refuse to watch it because I know it empowers them with ratings. I don't think any of those animal rights people on TV could ever share the same respect for wildlife as someone who grew up in our situations. They'll never understand, all they see is pretty Bambi, and are mortified at the thought of Bambi dying. It's a very shallow train of thought I think they all share.



But just a thought - The crews of animal rights activists on Whale Wars are heckling and disrupting the whalers. If they can do that, uninterrupted, how long before similar things are heppening in our waters, messing with fishing and hunting? It's the same thing they are doing now, just not to us.

I think this is the gayest thread I've ever read.

Boy that whale wars gets on my nerves bad. I believe in conservation just as much as the next guy but these wackos are retarded.

The "capt" Paul Watson is the supreme retard leading a bunch more retards. It's funny watching them try to launch a boat from a moving ship when clearly none of them no what they're doing. One of them will get killed one day at the hands of these idiots. The blind leading the blind.

I don't even think the "capt" even has a real captain's license as their boats are registered as pleasure craft. How can anyone still have a license after repeatedly intentionally ramming other ships. One of these days those japs are gonna start shooting them bastards.

Just think, there's alot of folks in high places of our government that are just like those cats. Scary.

Tony.... Couldnt have said it better myself.

They are complete idiots.

This would make me do shit I would probably regret.

The first one is in New Zealand. The second one, hell I woulda just drove off with the bitch hangin on the side of the boat... I guess it wasn't a cold morning

If those fukkers rammed my boat like that they would have holes blown in it and sinking

In the second one, he should have just hit her with the Paddle.. just one time accross the cheak..

I don't know why people are so afraid to use their fists. i woulda gone up on the bank and beat her boyfriend's a$$ for letting her act like an idiot.

I thank thay is way to much TV shows out there ..... most 'specially DuckByrd shows ....

Just a few years ago ... thay wasn't all the shows pertainin' to the Ducks ..... now young fellers watch the programs and git all giggley and wants to be a DuckByrd hunter ..... thays git 'em a MudMotorMachineThang ... a scatter-gun ... a souped-up quacker-caller ..... cooler of dranks .... and goes out with thays Daddy and Momma's money ..... lease up ever slough down the bayou ..... goes up and down/in and out all the backwaters of the public lakes (scoutin') ..... shootin' at anythang thay thank thay can kill (not fo food) .... I even seen 'em put the kill on a harmless Nutra Rat just to take his photo and toss aside to stank up the waters ......

Dang TV shows .........

its scary there are people in the world who would commit murder before they whip a dog...

we ran in to this type of of crap a few years ago on a hunt with a client at a Texas ranch. They blocked the gate and would not let us in. Needless to say thay dont put up with this in Texas within 20 minutes they were all in the back of a cop car. It was funny to watch a bunch of tree huggers being slung across the gravel by the cops.

them dumb fukks try that stupid chit around my duck blinds theyd be gettin there a&& handed to em.i have to much work & time tied up in duckin for a bunch of dumb chit like that.

They gonna think they are in Florida Id be hollerin Gator Bait so much

i think Disney is to blam for most of this. if you look at it all the disney movies that little kids watch nowadays have something to do with saving animals and how hunting is bad.

disney is responsible for brain washing many children. then when they grow up they become forked up retards.

well, speaking of discovery channel, some whacko went in there today and took people hostage. i heard the cops shot him and an explosive device went off! i'm sure we'll hear more details tonight

The Montgomery County Police have confirmed with EW that authorities have shot down the gunman who took three people hostage at Silver Spring, Md.’s Discovery Channel building today. At this time, the Montgomery County police do not know whether or not the gunman, who is believed to be James J. Lee, was killed. (According to Corporal Dan Friz, the suspect is “injured, but contained.”) All hostages escaped, and are now safe.
Friz says an explosive device might have detonated during the ordeal: “There was a minor detonation of it, but luckily no injuries to anybody,” he told EW. Lee was arrested in 2008 for disorderly conduct in front of the building, leading a protest against the network. His motives apparently stem from his efforts to save the planet. On a website registered to Lee, a statement criticizing the network was posted in January 2008: “These guys have been very sneaky and deceptive as to their contribution to the planetary problems. Just look at their ‘new’ show about saving the planet, Planet Green, to me, it’s just another show about more PRODUCTS to make MONEY, not about actual solutions. We can’t let them get away with doing it anymore.”
According to Friz, the building is still being cleared.
UPDATE: Police have told the Associated Press that the gunman has died after authorities shot him.

WOW !!!! It's hard to believe some folks can git so radicule fo thay's cause .....

One of these days I'm gonna do me some of that "Demo-Straitin'" !!!!!!
