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.

You cannot commit an act of violence against a non-sentient object, only against a living thing.
Paul Watson
We go after unlawful activities.
Paul Watson
The real strength of the environmental movement is the tens of thousands, even millions of individuals around the world who are really making a difference and they are doing it out of passion.
Paul Watson
It doesn't matter what is true it only matters what people believe is true... You are what the media define you to be. [Greenpeace] became a myth and a myth-generating machine.
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
I can assure you no whales are going to be killed today.
Paul Watson
Almost all theological thought is anthropocentric and I just cannot buy into the anthropocentric ideology. Basically we're a bunch of conceited apes.
Paul Watson
I got the impression that instead of going out to shoot birds, I should go out and shoot the kids who shoot birds.
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
It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.
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
All consumption should be local. No food products need to be transported over hundreds of miles to market. All commercial fishing should be abolished. If local communities need to fish the fish should be caught individually by hand. We need to stop flying, stop driving cars, and jetting around on marine recreational vehicles.
Paul Watson
The fact is I have never been convicted of a crime.
Paul Watson
We're just a conceited, naked ape. But in our minds we're some sort of divine legend, and we see ourselves as some sort of god. That we can walk around the earth deciding who will live and who will die and what will be destroyed and what will be saved. But the fact is we're just a bunch of primates out of control.
Paul Watson
Social change comes through people.
Paul Watson
We are killing our host the planet Earth.... I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the 'AIDS of the Earth.' I make no apologies for that statement.... We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.
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
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
We need to stop burning fossil fuels and utilize only wind, water, and solar power with all generation of power coming from individual or small community units like windmills, waterwheels, and solar panels. Sea transportation should be by sail...Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.
