April 2003, Watson was elected to the board of directors of the Sierra Club for a three-year term.[16] In 2006, he did not seek re-election. He resigned from the board a month before his term ended, in protest against the organization’s sponsorship of a “Why I Hunt” essay contest.[17]
Watson feels that “no human community should be larger than 20,000 people,” human populations need to be reduced radically to “fewer than one billion,” and only those who are “completely dedicated to the responsibility” of caring for the biosphere should have children, which is a “very small percentage of humans.” He likens humankind to a virus, the biosphere needs to get cured from with a “radical and invasive approach,” as from cancer and that he would like to see something akin to genocide to clean up the planet.[18
I saw most of one episode once. I was channel surfing and start to watch. I was shocked when it became clear that the show was from the point of view of the pirates. They were attempting to disrupt the whaling ship by essentially playing chicken with it. Eventually they clipped the ship and ended up under investigation.
What I was shocked at was that some network would financially support them by paying for filming access. Hopefully the network will be sued one of these days for their part in the funding....I guess along with Bob Barker since he's given money to supply the pirates.
Sierra Club is pro La Raza and he felt that Greenpeace became a tool for left wing politicians.
Right. No decent anarchist would belong to Greenpeace.
He was kicked out of Greenpeace by a vote of 11-1, with his vote the '-1'. Here is what GP says about his tactics:
Disabling a ship at sea in the Antarctic, regardless of how much one may object to its activities, is not only a callous act of disregard for human life -- it's courting an environmental disaster in one of the most fragile environments in the world.
Such tactics are not only dangerous to the whalers, they are dangerous to the cause of stopping Japanese whaling.
That’s what I thought too. This sounds like a dare.
