From AnimalBlog’s inbox:
*Whale Wars* is a high-adrenalin new series providing an insight into the endeavours of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a radical group of environmental activists attempting to stop the Japanese from hunting down and killing one of the most magnificent species on the planet. Cameras follow the crew of self-proclaimed eco-pirates as they put their lives on the line, spending 3-4 months on the most remote and hostile seas in the world, implementing their direct action tactics.

Whale Wars screens at 9pm on Mondays from 27th April, only on Discovery Channel; visit http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/web/whale-wars/ for more information and behind-the-scenes footage.
