Soleil, I don't think any of us are for the unnecessary butchering of wildlife at any level. Certainly no endangered species. The whales the Japanese are killing are not endangered and it allowed by law (this is contested by the hippies).
Having said that ... you won't see much of anything actually happening on any of the shows but you will see a LOT of hippies doing really stupid things and crying when the Japanese do some of the same stuff the hippies are doing. The hippies cry foul at every turn and it is simply hilarious to watch incompetence of that magnitude.
In one episode they chipped some ice off a glacier because they forgot to get enough fresh water to hold them over. While sucking on a piece of ice one of the hippies said; "Guys, do you realize this water could be thousands of years old!"
My 16 year old daughter turned to look at me and said; "Oh my Lord. Where does this hippie think the water came from .... of COURSE it's thousands of years old!"
