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 16, 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 xof hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra The Sea Shepherd found

Trang 3

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 crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it Later they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten

Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that

he could He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal ship, and he sank the Sierra He acted because he believes that whales must be protected Still, he acte'd without the approval of his government; therefore, his actions were controversial

Paul Watson is not the only enviromental activist Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they become impatient Yet, because of their concern for environment, they will act to protect it
