      How so ? His actions are inconsequential in relation to both conservation and the health of our oceans. The IUCN Red List entry on long finned pilot whales confirms they number in the hundreds of thousands, as do antarctic minke whales. Neither are listed as vulnerable, threatened or endangered on the IUCN Red List either.

    • @teamtrump8221

      @canucktunes 8 лет назад

      Seriously, the latest population estimate for the Antarctic minke is 760,000, they reach sexual maturity by 9 years and they calf every nine months. Japan's average take was 450 per year during JARPA II and now it's 333.

    Many thanks to Paul Watson on behalf of the whales! I am just watching them go past near Mackay at the moment. They love to show off and jump as high as they can. I’m fairly certain if they could speak, it would be ‘thanks, but please do more.’

    Yes Paul Watson is a Heroe and what he is doing with his team, he does it for Earth, for biodiversity, for all the species of the Ocean and at last, he does for all of us!
    From everywhere on the World we say THANK YOU PAUL and to ALL Courageous SEA SHEPHERD Crew members !!!!
    Sea Shepherd is now present in many countries!!! this is benefit for all of us.
    It is time to create an Army of the biodiversity to fight against all the spoilers of the ocean, the Criminals poachers from everywhere!
    Everything we individually do now impact on all of us. Widely, we individually et selfishly impacts on the Oceans, on the Earth, on all species, on the Climate such as Tsunami, Earthquake, Melting the Iceberg on the Poles, and on the Air we are still breathing. All that despite the serious damages Humans do everywhere!

    "I would say that there is more distance from such a man to such a man than there is from such a man to such a beast. In fact, I do not think that there is such a great distance from beast to beast, as there is a great interval from man to man, in terms of prudence, reason, and memory."

    Preservation and Conservation must be the only tradition or Culture in our time because we are much too close to the point of no-return for Biodiversity and especially for the Oceans! Captain Paul Watson wisely shows the way! Sea Shepherd acts with Courage, Tenacity and many others skills! Sea Shepherd is a good asset for Biodiversity!

    Of the 10,000 animals who came through PETA's door in 2008, 2,124 were euthanised, brought in either by their guardians or a kind citizen because the animal was terminally ill, fatally wounded, or considered unadoptable by the Norfolk SPCA. All healthy, adoptable animals brought to PETA are referred to local no-kill shelters, where the animal may or may not be take in due to overcrowding.

    It's the way a person can see it that can makes it bad.
