On one hand, Watson isn’t the brightest bulb in the pack. He has noble goals and is understandably frustrated with Japan being allowed to exploit a loophole to protect its whaling industry. But if you’re going to engage in piracy, making TV shows about it isn’t brilliant.
On the other, there’s no excuse for hunting an intelligent, sentient being. There may be no excuse for hunting any animal. Full stop.
Good on Denmark.
Stalling until Trump can take office and change his mind — again?
It must be really nice to live in a country where the police have nothing better to do than shake down citizens for Sky/Comcast's benefit.
Maybe hire better protection partners?
Damage control from the PR team shouldn’t be allowed to fix this. Publicly name the “protection partner,” publicly end their contract, apologize, and develop a transparency plan going forward.

And now we know that you can’t (or won’t) read. That’s ok. But I do think that we’ve exhausted the possibilities of this conversation.
Fuck off. Stop assuming that you know anything about me, foolish asshole.
Now that the BLUF is out of the way, and I know that you've read and understood my comment, I'll do you a solid to show that there are no hard feelings. You're blocked.
My "opinion" is not wrong. It is scientific fact. Adolescent development is an area of my professional study.
Are there abused children in the world? Yes. Are their brains well-enough developed to make any lifelong decisions? No. That doesn't mean that they don't deserve help. It does mean that they are not mature enough to understand the ramifications of a no-contact decision.
I don't wanna sound condescending, but please base your own opinions in fact.
At least I’m in good company :)
It isn’t really. But you are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
With respect, 16 year old brains are not physically developed enough to make that decision. It’s why we don’t let them vote.
Things may look different today. I stand by my suggestion.
Other than hostage diplomacy, “rules for thee but not for me” is bedrock Chinese foreign policy. Anyone who disagrees with them will be required to “correct” their thinking.
