<p>Hi Grace! The Whale Wars television show is produced by Animal Planet, so I doubt that Sea Shepherd has any control over the final editing of the content. If you are a avid Whale Wars fan, you will see how the only food on board the vessels is vegan. I learned about the documentary The End of the LIne and Earthlings from Sea Shepherd members. They do promote veganism, but it is not at the forefront of their proclamations. Those who become involved in Marine Conservation via Sea Shepherd soon…</p>

<p>I've camped White Sands on a night of the full moon--awesome! It is like the ocean, just no water. :) I wonder if Matt did any vegan advocacy or if he only generated interest in SSCS....</p>
<p>Some young people were talking about how much they love Sea Shep's TV show. (?) I asked what they've learned about going vegan on it. They looked at each other and me, quizically, replying "that's never mentioned."</p>

<p>Maybe the "kids" just wanted to meet, so my shirt gave them an "excuse" to strike up a conversation--but since I don't watch TV, the conversation didn't follow. And their answer may have been the result of not REALLY being "huge fans" of it, afterall.</p>
<p>Do YOU watch it? Is there any indication that the home viewer can "join the crew," (or war, or whatever), simply by going vegan? I appreciate your shedding light on this for me--it's been in the back of mind a few months already. THANKS!</p> Matt is simply one individual…tag:arzone.ning.com,2012-03-17:4715978:Comment:871132012-03-17T23:07:56.825ZHolise E. Cleveland IIIhttp://arzone.ning.com/profile/HoliseEClevelandIII
<p>Matt is simply one individual who wants to do something to raise awareness of the plight of our fellow Earthlings at sea. By spreading the word about Sea Shepherd, he is spreading the word about how our oceans (and the inhabitants thereof) are in peril --- as saving marine life is what Sea Shepherd Conservation Society does.</p>
<p>As I stated above, however, Matt is just one man. There will be more than 5,000 other participants, including: military service personnel, war veterans, families…</p>

<p>As I stated above, however, Matt is just one man. There will be more than 5,000 other participants, including: military service personnel, war veterans, families of those who lost their live in the march that is being commemorated, those who simply want to show their respect, etc. May I suggest, Roger, that you submit your question to them, asking why <em>they</em> "seem to need to get involved in this sort of macho man crap."</p>
