The Whale-Killing, Enabling Nation of Jamaica is an Embarrassment to Their Pirate Heritage

The Whale-Killing, Enabling Nation of Jamaica is an Embarrassment to Their Pirate Heritage

September 23,2023 Jamaica and Denmark. These slain whales are also on you. Kristjian Loftsson, the 80 year old Icelandic Captain Ahab, controls the Icelandic government and he get what he wants, and he wants to kill endangered Fin whales. Not for the money: he has not made a profit in years. He does it for the sheer joy of killing. To the whales, he is Ted Bundy, a serial killer, a cetacean serial killer. It was our plan to return…

Hunting Fin Whales is Inhumane – That Goes Without Saying

Hunting Fin Whales is Inhumane – That Goes Without Saying

September 23, 2023 But when the harpoons are killing the next generation as well – that’s simply unspeakable. How long would it have taken for this unborn calf to die after it’s mother was shot? How long before it was starved of oxygen? Long enough to be criminal? Despite blatant violations of the Animal Welfare Act, Hvalur 8 has been released from a temporary suspension imposed earlier this week by The Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST). It’s now back…

Phytoplankton is Disappearing

Phytoplankton is Disappearing

This was originally posted on December 29, 2018  I have been saying for years that our Ocean is dying. My words consistently fall on deaf ears. This article today states that plankton is disappearing and scientists do not know why? Actually scientists not in the employ of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans do know why. I know why. Since 1950 we have seen a diminishment of phytoplankton in the sea of between 20 and 40% depending on regions. Phytoplankton…

RAGE AGAINST THE WHALE KILLING MACHINES

RAGE AGAINST THE WHALE KILLING MACHINES

September 14, 2023 It is with great revulsion and anger that we are forced to endure the sadistically perverse and merciless crimes of Kristjián Loftsson and his gang of murdering thugs on his two killer ships the Hvalur 8 and Hvalur 9.  We were ready to take this modern-day obsessive whale killing fiend on in June when the Icelandic Minister of Fisheries imposed a temporary ban on whaling until August 31st.  We were actually deluded into thinking that a politician…

The First Death of a Whale in Iceland at the Hands of Iceland’s Mad Captain Ahab – The mass cetacean-murdering Kristjian Loftsson.

The First Death of a Whale in Iceland at the Hands of Iceland’s Mad Captain Ahab – The mass cetacean-murdering Kristjian Loftsson.

Eight days into September and the bastard killed his first whale. Anahita and Elissa stopped him for 48 hours and he had one good weather day. The weather has turned today which will slow him down but there is another few weeks of danger for the whales. It is frustrating that we cannot have the ship there, but we are working on reflagging and making preparations to return to Iceland at the beginning of the next season. We need to…

Courage, Imagination and Passion

Courage, Imagination and Passion

September 5, 2023 I have always said that we can change the world by exercising the virtues of passion, imagination, and courage. Anahita Babaei and Elissa Biou over the last 24 hours have proven how effective the application in action these three virtues can be. Passionate about saving the lives of endangered Fin whales they came up with a brilliant strategy and then courageously put that strategy in action. In the early morning of September 4th, both women climbed the…

RED NOTICE

RED NOTICE

September 2, 2023 In 2012, Costa Rica had me placed on the Interpol Red Notice. A few weeks later Japan had me placed on the Interpol Red Notice. What is the Interpol Red Notice? Primarily it’s a notice requesting that a person be detained upon entry into any country that is a member of Interpol. Usually for very serious offenses like war crimes, serial killing or major drug trafficking.  Costa Rice had the Red Notice issued for my stopping an illegal…

The Truth is Emerging

The Truth is Emerging

August 29, 2023 Being fed rotten fish was not the only thing that stunk. Slowly, but surely the truth is coming out about the tragic life and death of Tokitae.  Lots of talk, lots of hype, yet not a single permit was applied for. Lots of promises, but the conditions of her pool were deplorable and her diet was unhealthy.  A government deadline to address the conditions of her pool expired the day before Tokitae died. The repairs were never…

DEEP SEA MINING

DEEP SEA MINING

August 29, 2023 Deep Sea Ocean Mining seems to now be emerging as yet another potentially ocean destruction issue threatening marine eco-systems and marine life. Nothing new really. This is an article I wrote in the Georgia Straight in June of 1978 on the subject.

A Year of Renewal, Rebuilding and Rebranding

A Year of Renewal, Rebuilding and Rebranding

August 27, 2023 It’s been a year since Omar Todd established the Captain Paul Watson Foundation. (CPWF). After being forced out of Sea Shepherd, I had told him that I was fed up with these corporate structures and wanted nothing to do with creating yet another bureaucratic non-governmental organization. Omar said, “Well, do you mind if I establish a new organization?” I said, “Well, knock yourself out if you feel it’s a good idea.” Omar said that, because of the hostility of…
