Captain Paul Watson (@CaptPaulWatson) founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (@SeaShepherdSSCS) on the Sea Shepherd’s journey from outlaws to law enforcement and his battles to save the fish, the whales and the oceans.
“To be a real conservationist, you have to look ahead a million years.”
“We’ve never been a protest organization. We’re an interventionist organization. Sea Shepherd is an anti-poaching organization.”
“I felt there was a need for intervention, not protest. I’ve never been a protester.”
“I call what we do aggressive nonviolence.”
“The real fault with the mainstream media is what they don’t talk about.”
“I used to joke that we were the ladies of night of the conservation movement because people may agree with us, but they don’t want to be seen with us in the daytime.”
“We don’t have any political agenda. We are extremely biocentric in our viewpoint, so we’re not a part of that anthropocentric mythology.
Very interesting!
