Michelle Rodriguez Postpones Sea Shepherd Tour (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Videos.

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…)

Meatless Mouthful–Paul Watson’s First Activism Memories

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 7th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Meatless Mouthful.

“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.”

–Sea Shepherd’s Paul Watson, on his first memory of animal activism to The Faster Times.

Bob Barker “Larry King Live” On Whaling (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 5th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, TV Hosts, Videos.

Bob Barker‘s visit to Larry King Live was, as expected, phenomenal!

Hard to believe the octogenarian is keeping a pace most men half his age would struggle to compete with.

Barker sat alongside Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson and explained why he gave $5 million to fight whale harpooning.

Harper and other activists probably breathed a sign of relief when the International Whaling Commission recently rejected a much publicized proposal to turn over a 24 year moratorium on commercial whaling.

Trey Parker has included a talk on DVD commentary on why he and Matt Stone chose to poke fun of Captain Paul Watson on a South Park episode titled Whale Whores.

If you can remember, the episode portrayed Watson and the Sea Shepherd crew in a less than positive light (is anyone portrayed positively on South Park?) and Parker says that although he and Stone are against whaling, they’re not cheering on Watson’s attempts.

“They come up with some big plan and then somehow they f*ck it up,” Parker says. Listen to how Parker explains, in his opinion, how.

2008 Summer TCA Tour - Day 3

Sea Shepherd has announced its plans to assist with the oil spill cleanup and wildlife rescue in the Gulf Coast.

According to the organziation’s website, Sea Shepherd is working to secure a boat in Europe to bring to the Gulf area. The HAZMAT trained crew will assist in rescue operations on both land and sea, working with BP officials, local fisherman and other government officials.

Captain Paul Watson is calling on other organizations with both manpower and supplies to join their efforts.

“Sea Shepherd and other organizations have ships,” said Watson. “These groups, as well as governments and corporations, have resources. We need to mobilize these resources now. This is going to be a long, dirty, and fatiguing process, but we must act, and we must act now.”

Sea Shepherd is looking for volunteers to assist, as well as donations of detergents, towels, fuel and other supplies.

Sea Shepherd has a history in assisting with oil cleanup and marine rescue, including the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989.

For information on how you can assist, email gulfrescue [at] seashepherd [dot] org.
