Captain Paul Watson needs our help!

This world-renowned anti-whaling activist has been arrested on board his ship by Danish authorities. He faces extradition to Japan, where he could be sentenced to 15 years in prison for opposing whaling more than a decade ago.

At 73, this would be a life sentence.

While some governments continue to turn a blind eye to poachers, over a thousand whales are killed every year. Yet, instead of cracking down on the poachers, both Denmark and Japan are going after the activists who are trying to put a stop to this slaughter - and Paul Watson is their first target.

We can't let this happen! While the Danish Prime Minister has remained silent, let's join forces with the hundreds of environmentalists and celebrities around the world who have already stood up - the deadline for the extradition decision is September 5. We need to act fast: Sign now to Free Paul Watson and share with your friends.
