ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS
Paul Watson is an environmental activist He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk about doing something Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much Other people think that he is a criminal
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally The captain and the crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling Instead, they killed as many
