More quotes by Paul Watson
The Ady Gil, a Sea Shepherd vessel, it's a fast patrol boat, was sitting still in the water when the Shonan Maru #2 came by, deliberately turned into it, rammed it, cut it in half, sunk it and destroyed it.
Paul Watson
This is the contradiction we have in the media. We love vigilantes: Batman, Tarzan, Green Arrow - the comic books and the TV shows are filled with vigilantes. We love to promote it. Jesus Christ was a vigilante. We admire these people, but we don't want to be associated with them.
Paul Watson
Follow your dreams and use your natural born talents and skills to make this a better world for tomorrow.
Paul Watson
We are literally eating the oceans alive and there are simply not enough fish to continue to feed an ever expanding population of humanity.
Paul Watson
Unless we stop the degradation of our oceans, marine ecological systems will begin collapsing and when enough of them fail, the oceans will die. And if the oceans die, then civilization collapses and we all die
Paul Watson
In the great scheme of things, what matters is not how long you live but why you live, what you stand for and what you are willing to die for.

If you want to know where you would have stood on slavery before the Civil War, don’t look at where you stand on slavery today. Look at where you stand on animal rights.

Earthworms are far more valuable than people.
Paul Watson
Musicians have the power to influence people and along with movie makers, they can reach and influence more people than any group of people, more than scientists and certainly more than politicians.
Paul Watson
The shark is the apex predator in the sea. Sharks have molded evolution for 450 million years. All fish species that are prey to the sharks have had their behavior, their speed, their camouflage, their defense mechanisms molded by the shark.
Paul Watson
Well lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than weve lost in the last 65 million years. If we dont find answers to these problems, were gonna be victims of this extinction event that were at fault for.
Paul Watson
Back in 1980, whale watching surpassed whaling as an industry. Now it's worth about four times as much. Whale watching provides far, far more jobs to people than whaling ever did. Whale watching has become an ally in the fight to end whaling.
Paul Watson
I’ve got no criminal record.
Paul Watson
Pigs eat more tuna than all the planet's sharks combined.
Paul Watson
We don't give a damn what you or anybody else on this planet thinks. We didn't sink those ships for you. We did it for the whales.
Paul Watson
I have hope that humanity will be cured of our collective ecological insanity and that we adapt to living within the boundaries of the laws of ecology.
Paul Watson
We buy a bottle of water in the city, where clean water comes out in its taps. You know, back in 1965, if someone said to the average person, You know in thirty years you are going to buy water in plastic bottles and pay more for that water than for gasoline? Everybody would look at you like youre completely out of your mind.
Paul Watson
In other words, people should be placed in parks within ecosystems instead of parks placed in human communities. We need vast areas of the planet where humans do not live at all and where other species are free to evolve without human interference. We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.
Paul Watson
The fact is I have never been convicted of a crime.
Paul Watson
We have intelligent species on our planet that we are not even trying to communicate with.
