More quotes by 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
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
We have intelligent species on our planet that we are not even trying to communicate with.
Paul Watson
A vegan riding a hummer contributes less to greenhouse gas emissions than a meat eater riding a bicycle.
Paul Watson
You can't love nature with a gun
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
Atlantic puffins starve to death so that Danish chickens can feast on their fish.
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
You cannot commit an act of violence against a non-sentient object, only against a living thing.
Paul Watson
I’ve got no criminal record.
Paul Watson
It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.
Paul Watson
I can assure you no whales are going to be killed today.
Paul Watson
My position is this. If we can't protect sanctuaries, if we can't save the whales, the sharks, the fish, our oceans will die.
Paul Watson
They [Japanese whalers] haven't produced a single peer-reviewed international scientific paper in 23 years.
Paul Watson
There is a lack of economic and political motivation to defend life in the oceans. The profit is made by companies exploiting the oceans and they have the money to buy the politicians who make the laws.
Paul Watson
It's funny but when young people say to me what can I study to be a force for change, should I study law or biology or business? My answer is music, drama, journalism, communications.
Paul Watson
We go after unlawful activities.
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
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.
