Fishing I can support banning

I think that Paul Watson is a grandstanding ass and a thug.
He is an over-the-top ham when the cameras are on and he surrounds himself with zealous acolytes bent on violent confrontation rather than civilized change.
I cannot fathom why anyone would watch more than a few minute of "Whale Wars" without changing channels, but it is still on the air (proof of idiocy in the viewing public).
Having said that, he and his group are (at least in part) trying stop true abuses and prevent overfishing.
I hope they focus their energies on the emerging issue of illegal fishing where not only are fishing stocks being depleted illegally, but crewmen are being treated as virtual slaves.
