Ric O'Barry Chat Question

[Robert James]

Tonight i spent over 1 hour waiting to speak to ric o'barry on his view of how he thinks SSCS members are doing in taiji and how member elora and nicole are doing due to there age because i believe it is a great achievement for them at there age to pursue such a passion here is what i got . Not much tbh.

Question :
Are you involved much with sea shepherds cove guardians such as Elora West and Nicole McLachlan and do you think that these girls are very brave considering there age to be there fighting to spread the word of what is happening in taiji ? And if so how do you rate there efforts ?

Answer:
I'm not involved with SS in Japan as we have a different strategy. I'm opposed with boycott Japan save the Dolphins. I respectfully disagree with that. Paul Watson and I have agreed to disagree on this.

The japanes epeople are not guilty, to boycott them is a blanket indictment on all Japanese people and I don't support that

I have a 6 yr old daughter from China who was confronted on the playground and called a whale killer, and she is not guilty ...


i am under the belief there will be a full script of the chat available soon and i will post this to you all when it becomes available to me.


Thank you all

I feel he didn't answer your question to the fullest and do feel it was rather an ignorant reply! Shame you had to wait for an hour!

i was a little confused with there only being an hour of question iam gratefull of getting a chance to ask the question and that he had the decency to reply i did personally feel it a little vague of an answer but i wasnt there in person to apose it and it was quickly moved onto the next question but ill keep trying to bring Q/A`s to the major figures of the activism area
