I think is was the Sea Shepherd group that was confronting the whaling ships and spoiling the meat. They had a TV show on Discovery called Whale Wars which documented the confrontations. The founder of Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson, was one of the founders of Green Peace but parted ways due to his beliefs that active measures should be taken to stop whaling.
The problem with Netflix is the problem with a lot of companies: the customers are taken for granted.
If you have a Netflix account, look at reviews of The Black Tower or The Tudors. For weeks they've been broken -- out-of-sync audio/video on The Black Tower, mislabeled episodes of The Tudors season 2, I guess Whale Wars was also mislabeled (http://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/i74kw/after_a_few_completely_out_of_order_seasons_of/). Use the standard form to notify Netflix of the problem or even complain directly into the reviews... you might as well talk to a brick wall. Same thing if you're upset that they constantly wait until right before a series is about to be pulled from instant streaming to post a notice.
None of that would take any significant investment to fix, just a commitment to deliver an excellent customer experience. It's obviously not the reason why the stock price halved itself lately but I feel it demonstrates the sort of lazy arrogance towards the customer experience (as does the Quikster saga) that will ill serve the company when it faces some real competition over the next couple of years.
(I did keep my 2 DVD + streaming plan through the rate increase though.)
I really don't want to talk politics. I just find manifestos from crazy people interesting. This from WTOP: Sources are saying the suspect is allegedly upset about the documentary called "Whale Wars."
