WHAT THE FUCK, SEA SHEPHERD GLOBAL HAS FIRED CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON.

He FOUNDED Sea Shepherd. He's the sole reason Sea Shepterd exists!! He designed the logo, he ran the gig for FORTY FIVE YEARS, and now their board has FIRED HIM because they want to go in a passive direction and he opposes that so they're ousting him!?!?! What the FUCK

Sea Shepherd is BUILT on direct activism, that's why they were such a good organisation for so long, because sometimes you just have to physically put you and your boat in between an illegal whaling ship and their target in order to save lives!!

And apparently Sea Shepherd now have someone on their board of directors who SUPPORTS WHALES AND DOLPHINS BEING KEPT IN CAPTIVITY?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK

Oh I'm fucking furious, I cannot believe this. Sea Shepherd is dead. There IS no Sea Shepherd without Captain Watson, and there SURE AS FUCK is no place for a Sea Shepherd that SUPPORTS CETACEAN CAPTIVITY, WHAT THE FUCK

So, there's been a coup at Sea Shepherd, and under the direction of a new board member who is all for keeping whales and dolphins in captivity (what the fuck) the board have ousted Captain Paul Watson from the very organisation that he founded and ran successfully for 45 years.

So, uh, fuck Sea Shepherd USA, and fuck Sea Shepherd Global.

Also, here's the link to the Captain Paul Watson Foundation.
