We go after unlawful activities.
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
You can't love nature with a gun
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
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
Earthworms are far more valuable than people.
Paul Watson
You cannot commit an act of violence against a non-sentient object, only against a living thing.
Paul Watson
To slaughter grand and beautiful creatures like these tuskers, whether terrestrial or marine, solely to obtain a few teeth indicates that we have not evolved very much since the days our forebears lived in caves and saught to prove their superiority by adorning themselves with teeth and claws
Paul Watson
Atlantic puffins starve to death so that Danish chickens can feast on their fish.
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
Once we get three more directors elected, the Sierra Club will no longer be pro-hunting and pro-trapping and we can use the resources of the $95-million-a-year budget to address some of these issues.
Paul Watson
Be a voice for the future and a voice for the planet.
Paul Watson
Intelligence is the ability of a species to live in harmony with its environment.
Paul Watson
WE CAN NOT LIVE ON THIS PLANET WITH DEAD OCEANS. IF OUR OCEANS DIE, WE DIE.
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
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
Pigs eat more tuna than all the planet's sharks combined.
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
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.
