You 7 people should take you’re beloved leader’s advice:

Quotes from Paul Watson:
>>>>>”The world will be a much nicer place without us [humans],”

>>>>>Gotta read this to believe it
Eco-Extremist Wants World Population to Drop below 1 Billion
Sea Shepherd founder says mankind is a ‘virus’ and we need to ‘re-wild the planet.’

Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth.

The commentary reminded readers that Watson had called humans a disease before and he wasn’t sorry. “I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the ‘AIDS of the Earth.’ I make no apologies for that statement,” the column continued.

Watson urged some solutions for mankind as part of a process to “need to re-wild the planet”:

· “No human community should be larger than 20,000 people and separated from other communities by wilderness areas.” New York, London, Paris, Moscow are all too big. Then again, so are Moose Jaw, Timbuktu and even Annapolis, Md.

· “We need vast areas of the planet where humans do not live at all and where other species are free to evolve without human interference.”

· “We need to radically and intelligently reduce human populations to fewer than one billion.”

· “Sea transportation should be by sail. The big clippers were the finest ships ever built and sufficient to our needs. Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.”

· At least Watson was generous and said people could still talk with one another across great distances. “Communication systems can link the communities,” he proclaimed from on high.

>>>>>Watson essentially called for humans to return to primitive lifestyles. “We need to stop flying, stop driving cars, and jetting around on marine recreational vehicles. The Mennonites survive without cars and so can the rest of us.”

***** I can’t imagine a Solor Powered Coast Guard Blimp trying to rescue a “Tall Ship” passenger liner making it’s way across the Atlantic.

Donate it to Sea Shepherd who is really fighting for the whales and not just collecting money for the corporate offices.

Greenpeace does not need boats.. they have 3 and they are did not use just one to chase the whalers last year.. Green peace needs bigger t shirt printing machines.
The new vessel will just be a corprate yacht for the greens
Go sea shepherd!!!

Maybe Greenpeace will grow some balls too and actually try to stop whale poaching rather than just take pictures.

it also wouldnt hurt if they would start serving only vegetarian meals on board of their ship. Serving meat and fish onboard (as they do currently) just isnt really eco ,isnt it ?
(in contrast the sea shepherd vesselis 100% vegan)

Well, they do need modern and efficient ‘tools’ to fight for the environment.

I just hope this means they will start being green warriors again, as they once were…

AR and environmental NGOs are too soft nowadays! And the result of that softness is the continuous destruction of the planet and the abuse of animals worldwide.

Enough of talk and peaceful protests!
We need much more than nice words to fight the ‘evil defenders’.

Time to get tough!

I’ve heard the new ship will cost 23 million euros. That’s just plain crazy. Looks to me like an organisation like Sea Shepherd could do a lot better with that kind of money.
