"Not to be confused with Inspector Clouseau"

The article is still a eulogy for Mr Cousteau. Not a negative word, no controversies. Unreal! Nicransby (talk) 07:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There are some serious controversies that have come to the surface since his death. That needs to be addressed for completeness. Blazing Liberty (talk) 14:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Animal abuse

After watching ‘The Silent World’ I am deeply shocked at the amount of animal abuse that takes place in this documentary. From dynamiting reefs, harassing turtles, killing a baby whale and massacring sharks. Why is no mention made of this unrestrained abuse and disrespect of animals made on Wikipedia? Cousteau is just lauded as a hero. I think a more balanced view is needed here. 102.182.181.48 (talk) 17:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
