“When you do make a difference is when you individually champion something that you have passion for in your heart. And that can be anything from protecting animals from domestic harms — like, chickens, pigs, or cows — or it can be protecting get whales or the orangoutangs, or protecting a habitat that they live in.\u00a0 All of those little things is what makes a movement. A movement is one of diversity, and, its these individuals all over the world, hundreds of thousands of them, that are really making these changes.”\u00a0Captain Paul Watson, Sea Shepherd International<\/a><\/div>\n

Imprisoning intelligent mammals in tanks for entertainment is medieval and just plain weird. As protest I’m starting a new thrash death metal band called Tilikum, in honor of an Orca enslaved by criminals at Sea World. \u00a0Not only are such conditions torturous for these animals they impart a distorted understanding of Nature to the audience, leaving them with the impression wildlife is (1) not wild and (2) unendangered. Nothing good comes from this carnival whatsoever.<\/p>\n

“I’m amazed when I’m asked, ‘how can you ask people to risk their lives to save a whale’? I’m amazed when they ask that question.\u00a0 We don’t ask that question when we are sending people over to defend some sheik’s oil well in Iraq. We give benefits for that. [\u2026]\u00a0 To risk your life to protect an endangered species, to risk your life to protect a habitat, to risk your life to protect another human being, or to risk your life to protect another sentient being on this planet — that is worth dying for.”<\/div>\n

“In our world today, it is considered by the powers to be, to be one of the most insidious crimes: the crime of compassion\u2026because it undermines everything they stand for.” Captain Paul Watson, Sea Shepherd International<\/p>\n
