    they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it iseaten.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 shipsin any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and hesank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected.

    ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTSPaul 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 incontroversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people thinkthat 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 SeaShepherd 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 theyhad been successful.

    The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of theSierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as

    ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTSPaul 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 incontroversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people thinkthat 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 SeaShepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The SeaShepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that theyhad been successful.

    The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of theSierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales asthey could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it iseaten.

    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 shipsin any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and hesank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without theapproval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial.
