Whale wars, are whales really at the brink of being extinct?

Whale Wars is just another way for them to rake in cash to go on their extremist missions. Just like peta, they believe in something and to protect their belief they go to radical extremes. Sort of like terrorists. There are a lot of whales out there and there is a lot of water. I guarantee you that there is plenty on whales in the ocean and the amount that the Japanese catch isn't more than they can reproduce. IMO boycott the show.
