9 PM E/P on Animal Planet
The highest rated show on Animal Planet is returning for its second season.
Synopsis: Only one group stands between a 750-ton whale-killing machine and its prey. Whale Wars follows the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as they seek to end Japanese whaling once and for all.
The Ban on Whaling: The moratorium on commercial whaling didn’t go into effect until 1986, even though it was passed by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1982. Many whale species have been profoundly impacted by whaling, some to the point of near-extinction. International regulations and conservation efforts have helped many whale species bounce back from the brink of extinction, but some species are still in danger and some countries (Japan, Iceland, Norway and Greenland) still allow commercial whaling.
