“One year, we actually offered the Faroe Islanders One million pounds to stop the hunts. 1 million pounds, which would go to promoting whale and dolphin tourism to the islands and marine conservation education to Faroese kids in schools. And the Faroese response to our offer was the most emphatic no you've ever had in your life. They actually held a hunt on the 1st of January. On the first day of that offer, they went out and deliberately killed pilot whales as their official no to us.” – Rob Read Rob Read is the leader of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation UK, otherwise known as Neptune's Pirates UK. He and his team have been working for years to end the suffering of many marine animals. Rob has initiated campaigns as well as actively operating boats, coordinating crew and flying drones, working on issues that include everything from seal shooting by wild salmon net fishermen around Scotland, in Japan against the Taiji dolphin hunts, in the Faroe Islands, against the drive hunts of pilot whales and dolphins, in Iceland against commercial fin whaling, and in Namibia, exposing the Namibian seal hunt. I asked Rob to come on the show to talk about the places in the world where whaling is still the norm. There are not that many left, but there shouldn't be any left. And that's what Rob and Captain Paul Watson Foundation are working to achieve. Links https://neptunespiratesuk.education/about/the-team/rob-read https://www.neptunespirates.uk/
Spätabends am 31. Januar 2025. Sabines Handy klingelt. Wie verabredet melden sich Tamara Burri und Oliver Jordi live aus dem Schweizer Jura. Das Komitee gegen Wolfsabschüsse hatte sich spontan dazu entschlossen am letzten Tag der proaktiven Wolfsregulierung 24/25 doch nochmal ins Mont - Tendre Gebiet im Kanton Vaud zu fahren, um Defend The Wolf zu unterstützen. Das Ziel: Die drei letzten noch lebenden Wölfe des Mont Tendre Rudels vor dem sicheren Abschuss zu retten. Die Wildhüter und Police Faune würden sicher in dieser letzten Nacht nochmal alles daran setzen, die letzten Wölfe im Mont - Tendre Gebiet zu töten. 20 bestens ausgerüstete Wolfsschützer sind auch in dieser Nacht wieder angetreten, den Jägern einen Strich durch die Rechnung zu machen. Sabine hat mit dem bekannten Aktivisten Walter Leu (CHWOLF, SEA SHEPHERD FRANCE, CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON FOUNDATION) direkt am Ort des Geschehens am Telefon gesprochen. Er hat sich den Wolfsschützern angeschlossen. Herausgekommen ist eine unglaubliche Momentaufnahme mit Gänsehaut-Garantie.

Send us a textIn mid-December 2024, Denmark released Captain Paul Watson (co-founder of Greenpeace, and founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) after five months of captivity in an apartment-like incarceration setting in Greenland, when Denmark ultimately declined to extradite him to Japan for a matter about which Captain Watson asserts his innocence. Fairfax, Virginia criminal defense and DUI lawyer Jonathan Katz three weeks after Captain Watson's release had the privilege to spend an hour with him on our Beat the Prosecution podcast, covering such topics as risking detention and prosecution for what we deeply believe in; the international law limiting whaling and sealing; preparing for and winning at trial (he has never been convicted); and his uncanny ability to be non-angry. Remarkable is Paul's confirmation that he does not get angry, other than when he expresses it with his pen. Non-anger is very vital to beating the prosecution. Paul has been prosecuted numerous times, but all his trials have resulted in acquittals. Listen to how that resulted. Paul Watson and Jon Katz both eat vegan (with Paul motivated heavily by ecological reasons, and Jon being primarily motivated by nonviolence), and know members of the American Indian Movement (with Paul having been a medic during the Wounded Knee action, and Jon peripherally meeting AIM members through his peace teacher Jun Yasuda, a close friend and supporter of the late Dennis Banks). Jon recommends reading Paul's autobiography Hitman for the Kindness Club, and listening to his podcast entitled Captain Paul Watson Foundation. More about Paul and his foundation's work is at PaulWatsonFoundation.org. Watson is one of the films about him. Donations to his foundation can be made here. One of Paul's previous organization's ships was named the Steve Irwin, who supported Paul's approach for animals. Those approaches include ramming whaling ships without causing injury to others, applying dye to seals to make their skins unmarketable, using stink bombs, and releasing animals from captivity. Paul magnificently sums up his work with this phrase that also is all about how to beat the prosecution: courage, passion and imagination.

In this episode we speak with Captain Paul Watson about his latest book Hitman for the Kindness Club. Here is a little bit about his book - Spanning 1961 to 2022, this electrifying collection of essays captures the spirit, mettle, and moxie of one of the most intrepid environmentalists of our times. Paul Watson developed an enduring passion for the wild as a youngster. This zeal propelled him on an uncharted adventure of outward exploration and inner evolution, with pivotal turning points bringing him to the realization that his life's mission was to defend the natural world and all its inhabitants. Watson takes you along for the ride as he upends the Sierra Club, cofounds Greenpeace, establishes Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and most recently the Captain Paul Watson Foundation. His courageous, often audacious campaigns, held on every ocean and every continent, are hallmarks of his stalwart defense of Indigenous people, marine wildlife, and ecosystems worldwide. These incredible true-life stories reveal how a dedicated group of people with gumption, resourcefulness, imagination, and clarity of purpose can change the world for the better. Still active, with a new foundation and a loyal crew, Watson shares his inspirational life lessons to encourage everyone to remain hopeful and to always be kind, without reservation or exception.https://signature.paulwatson.com/products/hitman-for-the-kindness-club-high-seas-escapades-and-heroic-adventures-of-an-eco-activistSupport the showhttps://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/https://shop.paulwatson.com/
In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast we will be speaking with Captain Watson and Lamya Essemlali. Paul and Lamya will give us insight into Operation Ocean Killers, a joint campaign between the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd France against the Super Trawlers that are wiping out large schools of fish. The Super Trawlers are enormous vessels that target Mackerel, Herring, and Blue Whiting. These fish are important food sources for larger marine creatures like dolphins. Because the Super Trawlers are so efficient at wiping out fish populations, dolphins have been forced to move closer to shore in search of food. In some instances, dolphins have washed up dead on shore due to starvation. The Super Trawlers also directly kill marine animals by trapping them in their huge nets. This "bycatch" is largely unmonitored allowing the Super Trawlers to do as they please out at sea. It is the goal of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd France to bring attention to these Super Trawlers so that they can be stopped from causing further ecological damage to our planet.Support the showhttps://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/https://shop.paulwatson.com/

For uncounted millennia, the creatures of the world's ocean have been hunted, captured and killed by human beings. For most of that history, however, this was done for subsistence purposes. Only over the last few centuries, was the slaughter of whales, seals, otters, turtles, sharks and other marine species justified in the name of capitalism and industry. Beginning in the late 1960s, exposing and preventing this continued decimation became the mission of individuals and groups dedicated to direct action meant to disrupt those who continue to hunt, capture and kill. Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with one of the best-known of these activists, Captain Paul Watson, who recently published his memoir Hitman for the Kindness Club—High Seas Escapades and Heroic Adventures of an Eco-Activist. Watson was a cofounder of Greenpeace, founder of Sea Shepherds and most recently established the eponymous Captain Paul Watson Foundation which “aims to educate and raise awareness about the illegal exploitation of oceanic ecosystems and marine species, while also establishing an international anti-poaching entity to enforce conservation laws and treaties.” Watson has commissioned and skippered numerous ships and campaigns, fought against the murder of marine species for more than half a century, has been on the forefront and frontline of direct action to protect the biodiversity of Earth's marine environments.

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation podcast, I get the chance to speak with Captain Watson about the announcement that Lolita may be released from her prison at the Miami Seaquarium in Florida. Lolita is a Southern Resident Killer Whale taken from her family (the L Pod) at the age of 4 back in 1970. She was sold to the Miami Seaquarium at this young age and used to earn a profit for her owners. Lolita currently lives in a very small tank - it is about 80ft x 35ft and is about 20 ft deep in the middle. Not much room at all for a 20 ft long orca. Paul and I go over the issues with the recent announcement that Lolita is going to be freed. The process of getting Lolita back to the Pacific Northwest is going to take a long time, about 2 years. In those 2 years a lot can go wrong. The Dolphin Company recently purchased the Miami Seaquarium. The Dolphin Company later was told by the government that Lolita can no longer perform for the public. The announcement to free Lolita seems like a business tactic by The Dolphin Company to unload a useless and expensive asset. It costs a lot of money to feed and care for an orca in captivity. By offering to release Lolita, they can get good publicity while at the same time getting rid of an animal that is only costing them money and giving them bad press. Regardless of the motivations for this announcement, it is our hope that there is a positive outcome for Lolita, she has been forced to live on her own for a long time in a concrete prison.Captain Paul Watson wrote a book on orcas in captivity called ORCAPEDIA.

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded March 22, 2023 This weekend past, the British Columbia Federation of Teachers held its Annual General Meeting. On the agenda: the election of a new president, and an opportunity the BCTF Divest Now campaign to platform its efforts to pursue a practical pathway to cease their pension plan's investments in "fossil fuels, and other life-killing industries." Jillian Maguire was a presidential candidate in the poll, held March 21st. Maguire's a longtime teacher who over a 27+ year career estimates she's launched more than 5,000 students into the World. She says she was shocked to discover the teachers' pension plan was heavily invested in some of the most ecologically destructive businesses, and so co-founded BCTF Divest Now. Jillian Maguire in the first half. And; we often forget, everything beginning on the land ends in the sea. As desperate the situation of terrestrial pollution is, in the ocean the effects are amplified, concentrated, and brought back to us as inevitably as the tides. Paul Watson has spent a lifetime on and in the service of the ocean. A founding member of Greenpeace, he left that iconic organization at the height of its effectiveness to found the Sea Shepherd Society. Renowned for its direct action against whaling, most spectacularly intercepting the massive factory fleets of Japan, Norway, and Russia, Sea Shepherd has also exposed and shut down hundreds of other ecologically destructive commercial ventures and activities. Now Watson is helming another venture, the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, whose mission to save life in the sea is simply stated: "If the Ocean Dies, We Die!" Paul Watson and finding a way to protect and defend life in the sea in the second half. But first, Jillian Maguire and British Columbia's teachers instructing their union to listen and learn to divest.
