Bob Barker Talks About Protecting Whales on 'Huckabee'

Bob Barker is a strong advocate for animal rights; in particular, he's an animal-rights activist, which means he has puts his name on the line and his money where his mouth is.

For years he ended 'The Price Is Right' by urging people to get their pets neutered; in 1987 he stepped down as host of the Miss USA/Universe Pageants because that organization wouldn't eliminate fur prizes. In January of this year, he donated $5 million to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to purchase a ship to thwart illegal Japanese whaling operations.

On Wednesday's 'The Huckabee Show' (weekdays, syndicated), Barker appeared with Chuck Swift, captain of the MV Bob Barker, the anti-whaling ship named after the game-show host, and the pair discussed the international whaling treaties broken by the Japanese, Barker's donation to the Sea Shepherd society, and the successes they have made in saving whales from destruction. (Whales, by the way, are mammals).

What are these morons going to do to make a difference? Sink other whaling boats? Shit no; not on television. But that's the only thing that would make a difference, what a dumb show. I don't support whale killing; but this is just some stupid drama show on animal planet. Damn imbeciles, and anyone absorbed into this show thinking that this is making a difference is an imbecile too.

I'm guessing you're never watched the show especially the season finale that was on Friday where their intervention forced the whalers to retreat (of the whalers own admission which you can read on ICR dot org). Now they're a couple hundred million dollars in debt and their operations are falling apart, the whalers have maybe one year left in them, but it's unlikely. So maybe you should watch the show before making imbecile comments yeah. Kind of silly considering all that's happened

[Schutzstafell]

@sorryimsogreat2 Soo what you're saying is. ONE serious thing went down through the whole season?

[sorryimsogreat2]

@Schutzstafell

Sending the whalers home a month early and negating them 85% of their catch is one HUGE thing, it's really the only thing that matters. What more do you need then sending them home early for a season and causing them the lowest catch in their history?

If you go to Dicvery channel forum for Whale War, You will find many cirizens of USA/UK watch "Whale War" as comedy. LOL. One idiot SCS supporter is always beaten by other members. Pro- or Anti-whaling is not matter. Most of US/UK citizen know SSCS have not right to to do violent activity and SSCS did illegal action as Animal Planet vote.

@PFatsonIII

SSCS won yahoo's contest for most popular US charity, and remember, there's such thing as the loud minority and the silend majority, visit the animal planet site and look up the polls on whale wars, far more people support them then hate them.

@Schutzstafell what a sad sorry miserable waste of plasma you are, mental midgets like you give credence to those who say the human race is insane.

[Schutzstafell]

@cantstoptheseeker You have absolutely no superiority over me. Because the stupid can not rule over those that can think. I'm right, you're wrong, get over it.

[cantstoptheseeker]

@Schutzstafell Ur hi. I'm right. Worship my superiority.

[Schutzstafell]

@cantstoptheseeker You're wrong. I'm right, eat me.

[cantstoptheseeker]

@pinoyakuma Nothing wrong with eating sustainable seafood and sushi, I'm a veg and I luv the stuff.

So basically ur troll comment is a big FAIL!

[cantstoptheseeker]

Bob Barker is as awesome as the Sea Shepherds are!

[cantstoptheseeker]

@Schutzstafell Ur wrong the show raises awareness and support for the struggle against the crimes Japanese whaling.

[SILENTKILLERX96]
