I went to the Sea Shepherd - Pirates & Mermaids Masquerade party in Toronto couple of weeks ago. It was really nice party and I met a lot of really noble pirates and some irresistible mermaids…

Paul Watson (one of the founders of Green Peace and founder of Sea Shepherd)  was there. He talked at the end of the party for about an hour. His speech really impressed me! I can tell he was talking from his heart as he never  looked into notes and never stopped trying to find words to continue. He was in that speech emotionally and spiritually, a man who believes in what he does. I was surprised to see that he was very friendly and talked with anyone, happily agreed to pose for pictures and talk.

It is such an rare occasion to see somebody doing something not motivated by money these days. Trying to save dolphins, sharks, seals just because you think it is the right thing to do is as noble as it gets.

It made me think - These people are the heroes of our time! Hell, they are heroes of all times!

When 100 years later people realize that the last fish is caught in the nets, the last river is poisoned, the last wild animal is killed to be made into a fancy restaurant soup, when the last tree is cut, people will realize that they can not breathe or eat money! Oh, what a surprise that will be.

Apparently, most of the governments seem to think that to make money is more important. What do you think?

An Indian tribe in northern Canada (Mohawks I think it was) has send a special flag to Sea Shepherd so that their ships can sail under their flag. This is an extremely rare honor, once in a life time type of thing.

If you want to know more about Sea Shepherd (and you should) please check their web site: www.seashepherd.com. They are the only organization  dare to stand between the killers and the dolphins, whales, baby seals. There are very nice TV series on Animal Planet called “Whale Wars”, they are excellent, watch them.

Support Sea Shepherd, it is your ocean and your planet that is being destroyed. When the planet is dead, nobody will need your help!
