'Whale Wars' Host Talks Dolphin Slaughter on Patch Columnist's Radio Program Today

Love him or hate him, Paul Watson is always provocative.

Paul Watson from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and star of Whale Wars on the Discovery Channel will be on Philip Friedman Outdoors Radio from 9-10 pm tonight (Thursday). You can tune in to AM 830 or listen live on the internet by going to www.AM830.net.

Watson will be talking about the dolphin slaughter in Taji Japan, the upcoming season of Whale Wars as well as many of his other causes. Many have criticized Watson for the methods he employs in protecting whales and other marine creatures. Earlier this year, rocker Ted Nugent vowed to kill 10 whales just to irritate Watson, whom Nugent claims is attacking a legitimate fishing industry.

Among other questions, Watson will be asked why the Japanese whale hunts seems to invoke so much more anger than the Norwegian hunt. Norway’s hunt just concluded and resulted in over 400 minke whales being killed. Should be great radio no matter how you feel about Watson.

Hi Mark. I'll see if I can find out. Roughly what time and nearest landmark if any?

Should he be teaching your children?

Prior to his election as a write-in candidate, Councilman Patrick O'Donnell told the Long BeachRead More Business Journal on February 28, 2012 the following:***** LBBJ: If you win the reelection, will you commit to a full four-year term?***** Councilman O'Donnell: If you run for four, you serve four. ***** LBBJ: So, you're not going to run for Assembly in two years? ***** O'Donnell: Correct. ***** LBBJ: No matter what? ***** O'Donnell: Correct. If you run for four, you serve four. ***** If you can't trust O'Donnell's word, why would anyone vote for him to be their representative for political office? ***** http://www.lbreport.com/news/jan13/odonlbbj.htm

And do his supporters care about this, do you think? No doubt others will.

Regarding, "do O'Donnell's supporters care?", many of O'Donnell's supporters are inRead More elected and appointed public positions, and their support of O'Donnell includes placing the financial burden of a $150,000 special election on the taxpayers. I would think that a responsible journalist would ask each of them about that issue.
This is what the new path will look like.

This opinion piece is so full of self-serving hot air it could float. Two paths will make the beachRead More look like a freeway? The author clearly hasn't seen too many freeways lately. Speaking of seeing, if the author would care to spend a little time looking at the beach (which I do on a daily basis, as I live overlooking the Bluff) they would realize that the current bike/pedestrian path is the most heavily used and enjoyed segment of the beach from the Belmont Pier to Shoreline Village. On any given day, there will be hundreds of people on the paths, compared with a handful on the sand itself. The author inadvertently makes that point when he or she writes that the beach "...should be valued for its own recreational value." Clearly, many more people enjoy walking, running or bicycling on the path than on the beach itself. Give the people what they want, and not what a mysterious, nameless, faceless group is trying to block.

Uh, Richard? Opinion pieces are by nature self-serving and one sided. I'm not saying that is agreeRead More with the opinion, just saying that gordana can have her say.
