Paul Watson Green Hero

Paul Watson may be a name you have heard over the last 30 years in connection with sea life. Paul was the 007 member of Greenpeace. This group have disowned their founding member because he is a renegade.

Paul had a mission brought before him as a young person when he saw the slaughter of sea life as murder and he began his mission to help save the lives of animals that lived in the sea . He saw the slaughter of whales, seals, dolphins and any mammal that was killed as a crime against humanity.

He was a Greenpeace leader but he was not satisfied with the progress they were making so he set out on his own to change the system. He acquired a ship called Sea Shepherd and began his fight against international looting of the whale population .  He rammed, disrupted and actually caused some countries to cease whale companies to continue operation.

Paul has been arrested, brutalized and made into a horrible  disruptor of sea trade in the slaughter of sea life. He has been personally responsible for the Japanese slaughter of whales in the south Pacific and put his life in danger numerous times. He rammed and kept close contact with international fleets who were involved with the trade in endangered sea life. He is a hero  and a person who puts his mission before his life.

People like Paul will one day be counted as a true hero but it is easy to see that Canadians feel a little apart from him as he used every method to keep his cause alive.

He was born in St. Andrews by the sea in New Brunswick and gained a love of the sea and its creatures. He now lives in the Islands in the area off the coast of B.C. and will continue his fight for the freedom of the mammals of the sea. Check Google for more about a green peace hero.
