More quotes by 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.

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
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.

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
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.

We are literally eating the oceans alive and there are simply not enough fish to continue to feed an ever expanding population of humanity.
