Vegetarian Star

Jamie Oliver put his culinary skills to good use recently when he prepared a vegan meal for Captain Paul Watson and the rest of the Sea Shepherd crew while they stayed in London.

The Captain wrote on his Facebook page, “A very big thank-you to Chef Jamie Oliver for treating the entire crew of the Steve Irwin to a free vegan dinner at Jamie’s Italian restaurant at Canary Wharf last night.”

Whale Wars will begin its 4th season in the Southern Ocean on Friday, June 3rd at 9:00 p.m. on Animal Planet.

The series, which has been nominated and received several prestigious film awards, will show Captain Paul Watson and his crew fighting to protect whales in the waters by thwarting Japanese whalers. Season 4 will feature several new additions to the crew’s equipment, including a new vessel named Gojira, a helicopter, secret GPS devices and more.

It’s a risky job, but it’s one that has continuously caused a decline in the number of whales killed every year and caused whalers to completely abandon the hunt prematurely last year.

“In order to save the whales, people have to be willing to risk their lives,” Watson said. “We can’t stop whaling? That’s what they once said about slavery, but it was stopped. So yes, we can stop whaling.”

Below is a sneak peek from season 4.

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor is rumored to play Paul Watson in an upcoming film on the anti-whaling activist’s life, “Ocean Warrior: The Paul Watson Story.”

McGregor will portray Watson’s life during his earlier days of activism with Greenpeace and starting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Watson seems pleased with the film’s producer’s choice for him, as he wrote about it on a site about enviornmentalism.

“I think he will do a good job, although I would love to see long time Sea Shepherd supporter Christian Bale take the part. As for a leading lady my favourite actress has always been Sophie Marceau, but the choice is not mine unfortunately.”

Michelle Rodriguez has postponed her work with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society because she wants to spend more time in the ocean and her filming schedule now is preventing that. “I have to go work. I have to go make some money — because I want to do three months,” Rodriguez says in this video. “I don’t want to go for a month and sit around and look cute.” The LOST and Avatar actress discusses how she grew up in an animal-loving vegetarian family and has kind words to say about Sea Shepherd Captain Paul Watson. “I love Paul. I’ve heard about him since the Green Peace days. He’s been an activist for many, many years. I guess I’ve just always been interested in learning from him…I gotta lot to learn from the guy.” Rodriguez’s lesson will be put on hold until next year as well as fans’ opportunity to watch her in action. Watch the video below for Rodriguez’s wish for all dolphin and whale hunters. (more…)

“I was raised in an eastern Canadian fishing village right on the Maine border, called St. Andrews. I used to swim with these beavers in a beaver pond when I was 10. I went back when I was 11 and found there were no more beavers. I found that trappers had taken them all so I became quite angry and that winter I began to walk the trap lines and free animals from the traps and destroy the traps. So that was really my first venture into activism.”
