Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Commentary by Captain Paul Watson

The headlines in the Nova Scotian newspapers self righteously reported that Captain Alex Cornelissen and First Officer Peter Hammarstedt were guilty as charged. My favorite headline was in Nova. In big bold letters it proclaimed:

“Sea Shepherd crew guilty of interfering with Canada's seal hunt”

best verdict ever. Now... We just need to get the Japanese to step on their own feet much the same way for extra giggles.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society On the night of June 30th 2009 the commercial tuna boat Don Mario, from the fishing port of Manta in Ecuador, was caught fishing inside the Galapagos Marine Reserve. At the time of capture the vessel was 30 miles inside the protected waters of the National Park and had its nets out in the water. Inside their nets the National Park Rangers discovered not only tuna but also numerous other species including sea turtles.

What if there was no Sea Shepherd Conservation Society? Would anyone else try to stop the cruelty? Does Greenpeace do anything? I contacted them re the seal slaughter in Canada, and someone told me that Greenpeace has not been out on the ice in 20 years. Why?
Liz

Because they have become something very different to what the public thinks they are. I don't like putting shit on Greenpeace or any other organization because I don't have enough knowledge to make those kinds of judgements, but from what I can see, Sea Shepherd is certainly the cause to get behind if actual action and results are what you want to see.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society From Captain Alex Cornelissen

Dear Canadian Government,

I would like to apologize for the trouble we have caused you. I know that every year, you have wasted millions of dollars to keep an already dead industry alive. Every year, you have sent a fleet of ships out into the ice in Eastern Canada to make way for pathetic unemployed whining fishermen so they can kill som’.

like a volvo with a gun rack in a drive by that's taking aim at the bad guys. Sea Shepherd's the best, let them charge them all they want. What they should be doing is clubbing and skining the fruits that are going after the seals not wasting tax payer dollars on people who want to save an ecosystem and a species!

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Commentary by Captain Paul Watson

The sons of Adam descended upon the water
Without thought, devoid of love they began the slaughter
The children of Ahab baptized in hot gentle blood
Mercilessly seeking revenge for the ancient flood.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Every year the International Whaling Commission brings up the issue of Safety at Sea despite the fact that the IWC has no jurisdiction, authority or expertise regarding this issue. Japan maintains that the activities of SSCS pose a threat to the safety of Japanese whalers. In addition, Greenpeace has been condemning SSCS citing our actions pose a dangerous threat to the whalers. The facts however speak for themselves

greenpeace is great for spreading awareness and does well at this.good on you guys, keep it up. . but in terms of protecting the vulnerable they have been described as the 'Avon Ladies' of conservation. Japanese whalers would snigger at them, but not at the sea shepherds.

Jim...you are not a Sea Shepherd fan so really you need to find another fan club that wants to read your comments. We are all here because we agree that what is happening is wrong. Unless you have some sick desire to argue with people that will never agree with you, find somewhere else to post your negative comments. Hopefully you have something ... Read Morebetter to do with your time. You are not a fan of Paul Watson, and we want to hear only supporting comments for HIS cause. This is supposed to be a positive fan group that supports his continuing life’s work. Educate yourself, work your entire life saving the sea, write great books, and rally supporters all around the world. Then maybe somebody will care what you have to say. This is not a debating fan club…positive supporters only.

I second Tiffany and Alida. Seriously, why are you two fans here? Here is a group of people gathered who are disgusted by the reality of illegal whaling, overfishing, shark fin collecting, seal hunting, etc. If you don't believe in it - fine, just leave. It'll save us all an eye roll.

This is an easy word to spread! Just put "CALLING ALL WINE DRINKERS", a short summary, and a link to the site! I already have most of my friends onboard. We're specifically having wine & hors d'oeuvres twice a week with wines from any other country besides South Africa. They're just using it as an excused to get hammered, but hey, it works :D

Read what he has to say regarding the sonar used by our US Navy - and surely by others.

Besides Meyer/S. African govt proporting propaganda,
this whole thing is criminal!
What was the harm in allowing volunteers to TRY to help these poor creatures. What ... would he be late for his evening cocktail or something?
This gives me nightmare to think we live in a world with people like this.

Actually DIRECT ACTION wins. Ideally love and kindness would sway the world to do the right thing but unfortunately people are self centered, sinful beings who want to serve their own selfish needs. Michaelle Jean is the one who needs to act with kindness. She knows that the huge majority of Canadians are against the killing of seals yet she ... Read Moreflaunts her disgusting thirst for blood. How insensitive. She should be stripped of her position. She is not a representative of the people.
