Whale Wars - Comments

Just been reading some of the comments about Captain Paul Watson posted after his arrest.

Some have claimed that he has threatened peoples lives in his bind to stop illegal poachers and whalers from damaging our most precious resource, that he said once that he was quite happy with the idea of killing people in the course of what he does, that he and Green Peace parted ways for a good reason, that if he was so confident about winning the Costa Rica case then why has he avoided capture for so long?

This is not the first time that he and his crew have been arrested.  He has always avoided, quote, 'justice', unquote, before because none of his ships have ever carried lethal fire arms, no person has ever died in the course of any of his campaigns and the only property he has damaged has been the property of those involved with illegal actives.

Yes, he styles himself an eco-pirate.  Apparently one person thought because of this he should be crucified. Like that proves you to be a well balanced, rational person.  Or perhaps you would prefer to see him hanged, as under the British Law.  Or locked up and never heard of again, while his followers and supporters are "put in a SAFE PLACE".

I am sorry but from where I am sitting if you are illegally poaching then you get what is coming to you.  If you weren't breaking the law you would not be putting yourself on to his radar.  He is an eco-pirate because he is going after the people who the governments of the world aren't willing to touch for one reason and enough.  If the governments of the world were more willing to tackle this problem instead of trying a blind eye to it because its 'not profitable' to notice it, people like Paul Watson would not be needed.

It seems to me that he and Green Peace parted ways because Green Peace isn't willing to sully their good name with the controversies Paul Watson is willing to face.  When was the last time a Green Peace member was arrested for their actions?

And for the record, shark finning is barbaric, wasteful and inefficient.
