sea shepherd vs greenpeace

Greenpeace bury your “snobbery” and tap the enthusiasm of Sea Shepherd. Meta4- To purport that it is unacceptable to even bring ethics discussions into direct action is pretty absurd. Unlike Sea Shepherd, Greenpeace has become far too predictable – any army fighting in that vein usually fails. As you might have guessed, it all boils down to a clash of tactics. I used to think differently about them until I actually WORKED for Greenpeace. save the rain forest to really help animals from extinction! I am a co-founder of Greenpeace and I have no problem with working with them. I have also read about Paul Watson’s history with Greenpeace. Who are you to criticize others that actually get up and go do something to save the oceans when you’re doing nothing but pleasing yourselves? The fact is that Greenpeace have not only raised millions of pounds under false pretences but they are also happy to make slanderous accusations about the only people that do have the courage to stand up to the whalers. Anyone calling him self a captain and placing greenhorns in harms way,is not wrapped too tight. It’s not the fear of violence that makes whalers run from Greenpeace, it’s the monitoring of their actions. They complement each other: iron fist in a velvet gauntlet. That’s a good reason to not stay around in the presence of either organization. True enough, the abuses in the factory production of meat go on and on, but because it is a product the general public consume there is no outcry. The actual goings on are very unclear and shrouded in secrecy, but in short Greenpeace claim that Watson was headstrong, arrogant, and too keen to push himself into the spotlight, while Captain Watson stands by the argument that you can’t change the world without making a few enemies, and Greenpeace are too soft to go toe to toe with the really powerful enemies, such as the Japanese Government. The fact is that we are in front of a conservation group that takes action, because a lot is said but little is done. So it’s time to fight back… maybe you should read up on this subject and see what will happen if we deplete the sea’s of all life…. The business that Sea Shepherd is in is enforcing laws that governments can’t or will not enforce themselves. They’re nothing more than seafaring vigilantes and are giving conservationists a bad name. Instead, they money goes into direct action campaigns. So do you…, i think u all suck dick i eat whale stake everyday amd i donate to the japanease so fuck u whale hugger. Sea Shepherd is doing what no other governments want to do. Process, after all has been set up by bureaucrats, to largely entrench wayward political thinking. I would also suggest they set to sea with a barber and a beautician this year, not to mention a few able-bodied sailors. 2) (5.33MB) Gp’s importance now lies with there bank balance, highly paid suits and free holidays. If the oceans die, we die. That however is their problem not ours. I read with great interest all the comments here about supporting TERRORISTS…not pirates, not ECO-terrorists, not bandits, Watson, notice the INTENTIONAL non-use of the word CAPTAIN, This pompous jackass has set back the LEGAL efforts to stop whaling by DECADES, while all he does is shuttle BIMBO “stars” around whilst burning fuel oil, and composing his “poetry” which is better left unread. If you truly cared you’d stay on land and not put to sea, one of the most fragile ecosystems we have on earth. Watson seemed in no way deterred by this career blip. They focus on saving the “world” which spreads them thin and exposes the lack focus. Their actions have made me consider them as a group I would not want to be associated with and will not support. Global Warming News, Science News, Animal News, Green Living. Paul Watson doesnt look like he’s missing any meals but his crew looks like they’re made up of militant vegan missionaries keen on converting meat eaters to salad bar aficionados. Paul Watson should not be placing a greenhorn crew in harms way. And anyway, is there a huge difference between sabotaging a propeller or sinking an unmanned whaling vessel (Sea Shepherd tactics) and blocking a harpoon vessel from shooting a whale with your ship (a Greenpeace tactic)? Greenpeace issued a lengthy statement on their website in an attempt to further distance themselves from Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd yesterday. Totally agree with you that we need to keep the focus on the issue. Those pages were Greenpeace and Captain Paul Watson, both global organisations dedicated to the protection of endangered whales. 2. As aggressive as Greenpeace is, their distancing themselves from the Sea Shepherd is a clear indication of being too aggressive. SEA SHEPHERD’S VIOLENT HISTORY 1977: Founding member of Greenpeace, Paul Watson, expelled from the organisation after a campaign against sealing during which he threw the sealers’ clubs and skins into the sea. Greenpeace evita ocasionar daños físicos o interferir con la caza de ballenas, buscando crear conciencia através de la captura de testimonios gráficos, en contraste, Sea Shepherd se dedica a "acción directa", que implica interferir con las operaciones de buques balleneros. While I admire some of them for their resolve, I find some of their actions completely stupid and bordering on a death wish. GP no longer has my support after discovering how many millions they waste on media, paying officials, and volunteers. We will continue to do what we do best and that is to shut down illegal whaling and fishing operations. your actions are hazardous to the safety of the whalers and yourself. Change ). Sea Shepherd seems to have a passion for one thing, saving whales, and with this goal and focus they bring direction to change one thing to help make the whole better. Only people can. Manipulating them into taking all the chances and all the dangers. Sea Shepherd was founded in 1977 by Captain Paul Watson in Vancouver, Canada, with the mission to protect and conserve all marine wildlife. Ever notice how Sea Shepherd volunteers are referred to as 'activists' as opposed to 'protesters'? It is only a matter of time before one of the propeller lines works or they hit some worker in the face with their acid bombs. Considering the incompetence of the crews on Whale Wars, I really can’t trust Sea Shepherd to maintain that record. I heard about SS about a year ago and was intriged by their methods. That is something we will never see because the Arabs or Congolese would kill them in a heartbeat. With all the respect i have for Greenpeace, they has become a bunch of whining kids. But, the Sea Shepherd society will undoubtedly get a lot more funding and a second shot from Animal Planet. CEO of Sea Shepherd Global Alex Cornelissen said, "We see the resumption of Japan's commercial whaling as merely a continuation of the Japanese Government's blatant disregard of international laws and treaties - a fight that we have been leading for over a decade. But what would the two think of being classed as the same kind of account, attracting the same kind of followers? Isba I All these tactics are designed to achieve the same result, namely to prevent or reduce the killing of whales, and none particularly put lives at risk. While the Sea shepherd intentions are good. Which tactic works better? I can’t believe the Sea Sheperds are being compared to terrorists. Susan Cpt Paul Watson himself). He states that nobody has ever been harmed by a Sea Shepherd action. In the end do they help though? He also said that Sea Shepherd were a violent organisation. But do you do something to get media attention or do you see it as icing on the cake? The last comment that stuck out to me was "Greenpeace will do whatever it takes to protect the whales", so that being said, we encourage Greenpeace to join forces with Sea Shepherd and truly act on the foundation of justice, compassion and yes your written words. I mean, even look at the number of their own crewmembers they’ve hurt. Another thing is that whatever bickering and naysaying happens, those resources and energy are now directed inward. We need to protect the oceans to protect our own life…”. Sea Shepherd’s founder is Paul Franklin Watson. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. What’s going to happen when the Sea Shepard does sink a whaling ship causing a serious loss of life? So what’s the beef here? In the end I think Green Peace is becoming yesterday’s fashion and they are in fact a little jealous of the media attention the Sea Shepherd has recently gained. First of all, the whaling community often has members that has flaws with the law. I was going to volunteer for Sea Shepherd until I heard I couldn’t bring my fishing pole. Greenpeace needs to start using Sea Shepherd’s “Use of force” because they work!!! Unfortunately the only ones who just don’t understand their role or just don’t bloody care about it are human beings. With all the many millions of dollars donated to GP and their Anti-whaling program over these many decades, if GP really wanted to stop whaling it would have been done a long time ago.

That doesn’t change their nature. Throwing stuff onto the deck in the hopes of having a man slip into the water where he would be dead in minutes is violence. It is criminal that two fat old men with an agenda are risking the lives of kids in a useless attempt to stop something that has been happening for hundreds of years. Today Mr. Watson seems to spend more time on his film star career than doing anything really effective. Sea Shepherd, which was started by an ex-Greenpeace activist, is known for taking more aggressive action than Greenpeace, including ramming other … Greenpeace vs Sea Shepherd January 22, 2019 January 22, 2019 / Charlotte Dempster In the wake of the devastating announcement that Japan are to leave the IWC and resume their commercial Whale hunting , I’ve been exploring the wonderful world of twitter with the hope of finding a way to help. Not once has Greenpeace intervened against the slaughter of the dolphins at Taiji or … To this day Captain Paul remains convinced that invasive action is the only way to get things done, and his “Sea Shepherd” organisation puts all its energy and resources into shutting down the south sea whaling industry. The question is whether Greenpeace’s tactics (which include chasing the ships) would be effective if Sea Shepherd were not there “holding the gun” to the whalers’ heads. Sometimes it takes a percieved violent action to deal with violent people! In response to the author’s question about GP and SS tactics, YES, there IS a huge difference.

The protest group has the advantage of being protected by laws against retaliation by their victims. If we really want to stop whaling, then we all need to team up on Japan…, If we (humans) kill off the whales, we kill the oceans, we kill the oceans then we die…it’s a circle. Greenpeace is a business. They also have small boats on the ship for emergencies they could use. lol @ ryan. Thanks for the follow too. Now as a marine conservation enthusiast, and one currently desperate for reassurance that everything was under control, I merrily followed both of the above. More personal attacts and teenager text words than anything. If the IWC would step up and their governments followed, the Sea Shepherds would not have to disrupt the whaling fleet. Even if they were fish, why shouldn’t we save them? Go Sea Shepherd! The fact that Sea Shepherd chased the Japanese whalers away last year while Greenpeace was filming the whales dying seems to have been forgotten. Because the Japanese prefer to have the Greenpeace party around; wasting time with politics and keeping the spotlight off their actual operations. It more like a “lets do this to get the attention and let people know what we are doing.” versus “hey check out out HUGE “GREEN PEACE” banner we poorly made and can be see by even the lowest camera zoom level.”. And SSCS officers and crews do have convictions for their actions. If Greenpeace is saying that it’s violent for Sea Shepherd to confront the Japanese whaling vessels because it endangers THE SEA SHEPHERD’S crew, then that’s like calling them Kamikazes. It is interesting to note how Greenpeace characterizes and differentiates their tactics versus that of Sea Shepherd, particularly their characterization of what constitutes violence. We’re just ruining our planet, and as far as I’m concerned, those who are really aware of that important role and take action should not be called terrorists. I don’t know about the Sea Sheppards. In the 12 years that the whaling fleet has been making the expedition to the southern ocean, for the nearly 10,000 whales killed, less than 55 peer-reviewed papers have been produced. You see I don’t really care what people think about what we do in our efforts to defend the whales. direct action brings about change. Greenpeace has been an important organization at the forefront of the anti-whaling initiative. The small, elite corps are deployed to go for the jugular – so it is with Sea Shepherd. I think someone back there said that whales were fish. But assuming that it is permanent damage, why couldn’t one of the other ships simply pick up the crew members? They are willing to jump through legal hoola hoops, picket and prance about with their 'non violent' tactics.This is why they are called 'protesters'. Paul Watson with Bob Hunter, Greenpeace, early 1970s. We know the Sea Shepherd has done things to gain media attention, but not every act tries to grab media attention. well screw them both, i think the whalers should have a shiny .50 cal mounted on their brow and perforate those damn hippies. However, to say that it is the only organization to participate in this would be inaccurate. these people are just trying to save ALL our lives, and Im sorry but if it takes a couple hundred lives of people who obviously dont give a flying f*ck about the environment or even the future of their own families then so be it! 1977: Watson establishes Sea Shepherd organisation.States that Sea Shepherd is not a … Their belief in the power of images has served them well in the past, and some of the most iconic marine photographs were captured by Greenpeace volunteers while they spread the word about the devastating human impact on the earth. Both are extremist eco-terrorism groups if you ask me. I would also like to note how much of a coward the captain and the first mate are. Also, their “volunteers” – those people who ring and annoy you for money or hand out flyers are paid – all with YOUR donations. All volunteers share the same philosophy. So, I think there’s good info here, but one key assumption here isn’t accurate – the whaling boats do NOT run due to the perceived threat of violence, but rather to avoid the exposure of their whaling practices via video, press releases, etc., by either Greenpeace or Sea Shepherd.

All its going to do, is formally move Sea Shepard into being called pirates, and give Japan the political will to use military force against greenpeace and the like. Nice short article that is to the point. And the whaling, seal hunt,… passed the communication line long ago.

Disabling a ship at sea definitely poses a risk to the lives of the crew. NOBODY WAS INJURED OR KILLED IN THESES “ATTACKS”!!! Somebody needs to start using their “use of force” against them and you.

The Sea Shepherd was founded by Paul Watson in… No question. I wouldn’t call Sea Shepher violent by any means, but it certainly crosses a line Greenpeace does not wish to. Greenpeace might as well stick a harpoon on the front of their boat and go and join the Japanese, but then again there would be less profit in it.
