Paul Watson

Paul Watson is the captain of the Farley. He attempts to stop whaling because he believes whales are more intelligent than humans. He will go to any measures to help stop whaling. When he attacks ships, he will do anything to get them to stop. Many companies and countries are against him because they believe that he is just looking for attention, some even see him as a terrorist. Greenpeace won't have anything to do with him even though he was one of the founders. Paul does a lot to get fame for what he does, he wants a lot of supporters and people to get behind him to support his cause.
While I do agree that if the Japanese are not doing any type of real research, they should be stopped. They have shown no real results and they end up selling the whale meat on the Japanese black market. Because they are whaling endangered species they should be protected by the international whale laws. They should be protected because the people that are whaling are not even showing real results. While I do not agree that it should be treated as a show, I do think that someone has to step up and take charge to stop the whaling. I do believe that someone else could join and make Paul Watson's reputation better.
I think that because no one is taking action against the whaling that some stern step should be taken. It shouldn't have to be such brute steps, but there should be some steps forward.
I agree with Paul Watson that things should be done to help the whales, but there shouldn't be such harsh steps.
