Animal Planet to launch Dolphin Wars TV series
Prepare to see Ric O’Barry and other animal rights activists harass and annoy the residents of Taiji, Japan in their own TV series:
A new television series about the controversial dolphin trade in Japan, tentatively titled “Dolphin Warriors,” has been greenlit by Animal Planet.
The series picks up where the movie leaves off and, like the film, stars animal activist Ric O’Barry. Two episodes of the series — which is being executive produced by O’Barry’s son, Lincoln — have already been completed, although a premiere date has yet to be announced, Ric O’Barry said.
Animal Planet says the series may premiere in the fall, after “The Cove” debuts on the channel this summer.
Now Animal Planet will have two shows about how animal rights activists are trying to save cute animals from the cruel Japanese.
