Hey everyone! This week I am posting something different along with the interesting information I have found. Yesterday I watched this video from the official Sea Shepherd YouTube channel and it changed my whole perspective from the Sea Shepherd’s crew. During the video you could notice how these people have to fix the vessel by themselves, their work is not only about traveling by sea, reaching whaling ships and trying to stop them; they have to do a lot more of things. With the donations from people around the world, they get an old ship and the engineers from the crew fix with the help of the other members; they almost change the whole ship from repairing the motors to painting the cover. Most part of the crew is not only ecologist, they have studied other things and they have other skills that they use to help in the Sea Shepherd tasks. I think it is one of the most important things from the crew members because they could have been developing their professions in other areas, but they have chosen to work with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in order to save the more whales possible and to stop whaling. I admire the way they use their knowledge for the good of the environment and animal rights, because not everybody would do that and still the crew members are only volunteers, so they do not expect to get paid back. With this ship, the sea shepherds have save more than one thousand whales and they decided to name it after the television personality Bob Barker –who is also an environmental activist –because of the donation he made for the SSCS’s campaign.
I have to say, it’s amazing what this people actually do! I’m impressed to know that just for a cause they give up a salary and well, land, to go around the sea and protect the whales (1300 whales to be precise). It must be a hard work (like they show in the video) and pretty tiring. Also, I like the idea that there are people of all around the world that work together for the same cause. I loved the video, the design of the boat it’s very original and looking how theses volunteers work in every single aspect of the boat thanks to the donations of people gives you a whole new concept of working as a team (and what team they make up!). You can actually see how this people enjoy their work and they do it just for the sake of a precious endangered animal. Really liked your blog! =D
