He could have killed us and chose not to do so.'It was this meeting which made Watson so passionate about his work."<a href="https://www.euronews.com/green/2025/01/07/if-the-oceans-die-we-die-anti-whaler-paul-watson-on-activism-prison-and-not-giving-up-hope" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.euronews.com/green/2025/01/07/if-the-oceans-die-we-die-anti-whaler-paul-watson-on-activism-prison-and-not-giving-up-hope</a>
