You won't see Greenpeace on the beaches in Taiji protecting dolphins or on the shores of the Faeroe Islands protecting pilot whales or in Neah Bay, Washington trying to stop the illegal killing of Grey whales by Makah Indians. Greenpeace accuses Sea Shepherd of being violent, yet in 30 years of operations we have not injured a single person nor have we had a single crewmember seriously injured.
When people ask us why we don't have video images of whales being killed our answer is that since 1977, the year I left Greenpeace, I have not seen a whale die.
Many “governments and law enforcement agencies… have branded them ‘terrorists’” (Wasley 2009). Watson has been quoted as saying “protesting is fundamentally submissive.
We are enforcers. Greenpeace stellte sich gegen den Schutz der Eisbären, weil sie sich - ganz im Sinne einer politisch korrekten Position - nicht gegen die von eingeborenen Völkern unterstützte Eisbärenjagd zu stellen vermochten. Greenpeace spends more on soliciting funds to save the whales than they spend on actually sending a ship to sea to save the whales. Yet when Sea Shepherd brought the fleet to a stand-still by having two of our crew board the Yushin Maru No. We are not interested in protesting whaling or profiting on the save the whales movement.
That’s the second half of the sickness in this equation. Gee, I wonder what happened to the aggressive in-their-face, media-savvy, hard-hitting environmental organization that I co-founded way back in 1972. They failed to stop the refueling.

This way of thinking has landed him in jail numerous times, has put him on the Japanese wanted list in 2012, and has gotten his boats impounded.

Greenpeace is wrong when they say there is no connection between Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. We could use as much diversity of tactics and strategies as we can get down off the coast of Antarctica and I would work hand in hand with the Vatican or the Republican Party if they joined us in condemning whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Not only am I a founding director of Greenpeace, I was also a Board member of the Sierra Club USA (2003-2006), and I saw incredible waste of funds and a smoke and mirrors approach of appearing to address problems but not doing very much at all.

With blood stained Japanese Whaling ships burning in my mind, I came across two pages that looked really promising. 5: 53. Greenpeace has been an important organization at the forefront of the anti-whaling initiative.
But Greenpeace is desperate to appease the Japanese, and towards this end they are condemning Sea Shepherd as an eco-terrorist organization and trying to convince the Japanese whalers that there is no connection between Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace. Watson seemed in no way deterred by this career blip. I am the person that developed the Greenpeace tactic of taking small inflatable boats and running them between harpoon ships and fleeing whales. I know of what I speak. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza will not be returning. The entire fleet then ran far to the East and then turned and ran far to the West again. For the price of a Greenpeace supporting membership, you can be absolved of your ecological sins. The best way to tell the difference between the Sea Shepherd approach to whaling and that of Greenpeace is this: When Greenpeace shows up in Antarctica, they film whaling and buzz the whalers in inflatable boats.

To this day Captain Paul remains convinced that invasive action is the only way to get things done, and his “Sea Shepherd” organisation puts all its energy and resources into shutting down the south sea whaling industry. Paul Watson was also one of the founders of Greenpeace. In short, they are the world's largest "feel good" organization. The problem is that per capita greenhouse gas emissions are higher in Canada than the U.S. and Canadian emissions have increased rather than decreased but they are perceived as being ecologically superior to the United States by the simple act of signing a document. By our actions we call into question their motivations. The damaged Ady Gil following its confrontation with a Japanese whaling vessel. And that message is that they love Japan, but please don't kill whales in the Antarctic Sanctuary and oh, by the way, we have no connection with, and we condemn the activists of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Greenpeace is wrong when they say there is no connection between Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. What Greenpeace does is run their boats directly into the water columns but they make sure the cameras are running first. The reason is simple, the market potential of these regional atrocities is small compared to taking on the Japanese whalers. More than twenty years later, in 2001, when a chairman of Greenpeace died, Paul showed that he still carried a grudge against them when he announced that he would “piss on [David McTaggart’s] grave” (Gatehouse). They’re no stranger to being in direct competition, rumour has it they absolutely hate each other… even though they’re fighting for the same cause! One of the most well known group that also heads the anti-whaling initiative is the Sea Shepherd. This year Greenpeace said they attempted to put a small boat between the supply vessel Oriental Bluebird and the factory ship Nisshin Maru but the tactic failed when the Zodiac inflatable pulled away to avoid being crushed. And he’s widely credited with being a founding member of the world-leading conservation charity, Greenpeace. Well they've never forgiven me for that although my reference to their door-to-door solicitors was more accurate than their accusation of me of being a terrorist. The issue was that the agent they had hired had withdrawn his services in protest. If the opposition knows that the move is a bluff then they will proceed knowing that the boat will get out of the way. A few years ago after Sea Shepherd had scuttled half the Icelandic whaling fleet I was doing a radio talk show program in Vancouver when someone called in a bomb threat to the station to "protest his violence." They can all toast their hosts, eat whale meat to show they are not opposed to Japanese culture, and they can come together on the one thing they disagree with and that is both the whalers and the Greenpeacers condemn Sea Shepherd.

We need as much opposition to the whalers as possible. The actual goings on are very unclear and shrouded in secrecy, but in short Greenpeace claim that Watson was headstrong, arrogant, and too keen to push himself into the spotlight, while Captain Watson stands by the argument that you can’t change the world without making a few enemies, and Greenpeace are too soft to go toe to toe with the really powerful enemies, such as the Japanese Government.

In fact, the late Robert Hunter is THE founding father of Greenpeace, and without his vision, there would be no Greenpeace Foundation today and all those hired crew on the Esperanza would not be so well paid and sitting down to their steak and seafood dinners on the Esperanza each day.

Sea Shepherd may not be popular for tackling American Indians for illegally killing whales and we may not be popular in Japan for exposing the brutality of the killing of 20,000 dolphins every year by Japanese fishermen and we upset a lot of Scandinavians by intervening against Norwegian and Danish whaling but one thing Sea Shepherd does not do is discriminate. Sea Shepherd utiliza acción directa para defender la vida marina en alta mar, y trabaja con las autoridades de varios países para abordar la pesca ilegal en aguas nacionales.

You won't see Greenpeace on the beaches in Taiji protecting dolphins or on the shores of the Faeroe Islands protecting pilot whales or in Neah Bay, Washington trying to stop the illegal killing of Grey whales by Makah Indians. Greenpeace accuses Sea Shepherd of being violent, yet in 30 years of operations we have not injured a single person nor have we had a single crewmember seriously injured.
When people ask us why we don't have video images of whales being killed our answer is that since 1977, the year I left Greenpeace, I have not seen a whale die.
Many “governments and law enforcement agencies… have branded them ‘terrorists’” (Wasley 2009). Watson has been quoted as saying “protesting is fundamentally submissive.
We are enforcers. Greenpeace stellte sich gegen den Schutz der Eisbären, weil sie sich - ganz im Sinne einer politisch korrekten Position - nicht gegen die von eingeborenen Völkern unterstützte Eisbärenjagd zu stellen vermochten. Greenpeace spends more on soliciting funds to save the whales than they spend on actually sending a ship to sea to save the whales. Yet when Sea Shepherd brought the fleet to a stand-still by having two of our crew board the Yushin Maru No. We are not interested in protesting whaling or profiting on the save the whales movement.
That’s the second half of the sickness in this equation. Gee, I wonder what happened to the aggressive in-their-face, media-savvy, hard-hitting environmental organization that I co-founded way back in 1972. They failed to stop the refueling. And people will buy it! ( Log Out / They build multi-million dollar office buildings and they employ hundreds of staff. If Greenpeace wishes to condemn that objective and to condemn our interventions, that is their choice. Desde sus inicios ha crecido hasta convertirse en un movimiento global imparable con grupos independientes establecidos en más de 20 países. This way of thinking has landed him in jail numerous times, has put him on the Japanese wanted list in 2012, and has gotten his boats impounded. There is strength in diversity of tactics and of strategy.
Greenpeace is wrong when they say there is no connection between Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. We could use as much diversity of tactics and strategies as we can get down off the coast of Antarctica and I would work hand in hand with the Vatican or the Republican Party if they joined us in condemning whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Not only am I a founding director of Greenpeace, I was also a Board member of the Sierra Club USA (2003-2006), and I saw incredible waste of funds and a smoke and mirrors approach of appearing to address problems but not doing very much at all. La flota de Sea Shepherd Global - actualmente compuesta por cuatro barcos - juega un papel crucial en nuestra misión de defender, conservar y proteger la vida marina en campañas de acción directa en todo el mundo, desde la Antártida hasta África. With blood stained Japanese Whaling ships burning in my mind, I came across two pages that looked really promising. 5: 53. Greenpeace has been an important organization at the forefront of the anti-whaling initiative.
But Greenpeace is desperate to appease the Japanese, and towards this end they are condemning Sea Shepherd as an eco-terrorist organization and trying to convince the Japanese whalers that there is no connection between Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace. Watson seemed in no way deterred by this career blip. I am the person that developed the Greenpeace tactic of taking small inflatable boats and running them between harpoon ships and fleeing whales. I know of what I speak. The Greenpeace ship Esperanza will not be returning. The entire fleet then ran far to the East and then turned and ran far to the West again. For the price of a Greenpeace supporting membership, you can be absolved of your ecological sins. The best way to tell the difference between the Sea Shepherd approach to whaling and that of Greenpeace is this: When Greenpeace shows up in Antarctica, they film whaling and buzz the whalers in inflatable boats. Strength lies in diversity and interdependence, two of the basic laws of ecology. Sea Shepherd fue fundada en 1977 por Paul Watson, uno de los miembros originales de Greenpeace. Sea Shepherd UK is a charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, registration number 1110501. It's now "special ecological dispensation.". As activists struggle in the field financially, the larger organizations rake in hundreds of millions of dollars pretending to address the issues but not wanting to rock the boat for fear of offending part of their donor base. Unser Ziel ist die Erhaltung des marinen Lebensraumes. What the hell do they need to kill whales for in this day and age but $$?

Not only am I a co-founder of Greenpeace and Greenpeace International in 1979, the ship we confronted the Japanese whalers with is the Robert Hunter, named after a co-founder and the first president of the Greenpeace Foundation.

To this day Captain Paul remains convinced that invasive action is the only way to get things done, and his “Sea Shepherd” organisation puts all its energy and resources into shutting down the south sea whaling industry. Paul Watson was also one of the founders of Greenpeace. In short, they are the world's largest "feel good" organization. The problem is that per capita greenhouse gas emissions are higher in Canada than the U.S. and Canadian emissions have increased rather than decreased but they are perceived as being ecologically superior to the United States by the simple act of signing a document. By our actions we call into question their motivations. The damaged Ady Gil following its confrontation with a Japanese whaling vessel. And that message is that they love Japan, but please don't kill whales in the Antarctic Sanctuary and oh, by the way, we have no connection with, and we condemn the activists of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Greenpeace is wrong when they say there is no connection between Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. What Greenpeace does is run their boats directly into the water columns but they make sure the cameras are running first. The reason is simple, the market potential of these regional atrocities is small compared to taking on the Japanese whalers. More than twenty years later, in 2001, when a chairman of Greenpeace died, Paul showed that he still carried a grudge against them when he announced that he would “piss on [David McTaggart’s] grave” (Gatehouse). They’re no stranger to being in direct competition, rumour has it they absolutely hate each other… even though they’re fighting for the same cause! One of the most well known group that also heads the anti-whaling initiative is the Sea Shepherd. This year Greenpeace said they attempted to put a small boat between the supply vessel Oriental Bluebird and the factory ship Nisshin Maru but the tactic failed when the Zodiac inflatable pulled away to avoid being crushed. And he’s widely credited with being a founding member of the world-leading conservation charity, Greenpeace. Well they've never forgiven me for that although my reference to their door-to-door solicitors was more accurate than their accusation of me of being a terrorist. The issue was that the agent they had hired had withdrawn his services in protest. If the opposition knows that the move is a bluff then they will proceed knowing that the boat will get out of the way. A few years ago after Sea Shepherd had scuttled half the Icelandic whaling fleet I was doing a radio talk show program in Vancouver when someone called in a bomb threat to the station to "protest his violence." They can all toast their hosts, eat whale meat to show they are not opposed to Japanese culture, and they can come together on the one thing they disagree with and that is both the whalers and the Greenpeacers condemn Sea Shepherd.

We need as much opposition to the whalers as possible. The actual goings on are very unclear and shrouded in secrecy, but in short Greenpeace claim that Watson was headstrong, arrogant, and too keen to push himself into the spotlight, while Captain Watson stands by the argument that you can’t change the world without making a few enemies, and Greenpeace are too soft to go toe to toe with the really powerful enemies, such as the Japanese Government.

In other words they have enough footage, photos and a storyline to fuel another multi-million dollar fund-raising drive for the rest of the year. In fact, the late Robert Hunter is THE founding father of Greenpeace, and without his vision, there would be no Greenpeace Foundation today and all those hired crew on the Esperanza would not be so well paid and sitting down to their steak and seafood dinners on the Esperanza each day.
