    Paul Watson is my hero. I was lucky to meet him in 1974 when I was involved in Greenpeace Indiana. He has spent his life in support of a great cause without regard to what it has cost him personally. If there is a heaven, Paul will swim there with the best of them.

    Paul Watson is my hero. He is doing what I wish I could do. I met him in 1974 and was amazed with his intensity then. We were working for Greenpeace Indiana. He has been true to his goals for his whole life and spent his life working to keep those amazing animals safe. Kudos Paul, and if there is a heaven you'll be swimming with the best.

    Wow, I guess terrorism is OK when it's in support of a whale cult or something you're attached to. The "fight against terrorism" obviously doesn't apply to America's domestic terrorists. If I understand correctly then,
    Terrorism in the name of imposing animal rights extremism on people = good terrorism;
    Terrorism in the name of getting the American War/Death machine out the mid-east = bad terrorism.

    Individuals like Paul Watson and others who protect whales, marine mammals, sharks, fish and other aquatic creatures personify compassion in action. They proactively demonstrate their reverence for the animal kingdom. We must safeguard God's creatures..

    Wow,this man is my hero. He has found a cause greater than himself and has pursued it relentlessly. I truly admire him and his crew.

    An efficient method to stop Japanese from killing whales is to poison whale meat in Japanese supermarkets. This quasi-terrorism has occurred in Japan in the past and proven effective in changing Japanese diet overnight.

    The Canadians still appear to be illegally holding Captain Paul Watson's ship, The Farley Mowatt. They will owe him thousands of pounds now and I sincerely hope this will go to stopping this disgusting slaughter and ruination of the earth's oceans.
    An expert Oceanographer told me we are in dire straits with the destruction man has wrought on the sea.
    Why does no one listen in government, are they so stupid?

    "If we can raise some money to get a second ship, we could stop them 100 percent, but right now we are able to effectively stop 50 percent."

    I would like to point out that the SSCS does not have a massive fundraising operation like other mainstream environmental organizations. Although they pull less money in the money they do get goes directly into fuel tanks and galley food for the crew. As a former crew member myself I can assure you that your donated money donated is well spent. Your anti-whaling dollar is well spent with Mr. Watson and the SSCS.
