Bob Barker is the 86 year old former host of the Price Is Right gameshow. Since retiring a couple of years ago, he has stepped up his already significant efforts to protect animals. Whatever your take on the subject, I think you'll agree, this is a great quote.
"He said he thought he could put the Japanese whaling fleet out of business if he had $5 million," Barker recalled. "I said, 'I think you do have the skills to do that, and I have $5 million, so let's get it on,' so that's what we did."
Gotta love the no BS approach. Put your money where your mouth is.

Another $5 mil wasted on whales.. 
I'm sure he donates towards humanity as well.. but come on, an extra $5,000,000 could do a lot of good for HUMANS in need!

Sell your luxury car and buy a beater. Then give the rest to starving humans. It's all relative, but no one likes a hypocrite. Clearly, the point of my post got lodged somewhere in your self-righteuousness filter. Go have a look.

I've been a Greeneace activist a while back and was in a small boat trying to stop the Norwegian Whalers. I have never ever since seen that much aggression.
Those guys at the Sea Shepherd are truly amazing.
They have chosen to defend the whales and fight for their freedom and survival. And since the hunters are giving a damn on the law, they have chosen to do he same, since they can not win for those great animals and they can not protect them if they follow the law.
Both parties out there in the ocean are doing something that isn't right. But the criminals are truly the ones with the Japanese flag on their ship.
If you have seen whales in real life, not just at Sea World, you will never come up with a quote about money wasted on whales and starving humans in need.
If I would have the guts for it, I would be on board of a Sea Shepherd ship.
Those guys deserve respect for what they do. They risk their lives. They are the soldiers defending the whales, which can't help themselves.
If a soldier fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan deserves respect, they do so to.
If you don't like it, Ok. But don't make such comments.
