Always remember that any disruption activists cause is (fortunately or not) always going to be temporary.
But the damage caused in the delicate ecosystems deep below the surface of the ocean is permanent, or very nearly so. 🪸
We are proud of, and stand by, the courageous activists putting their bodies on the line to defend the ocean we all depend on. 🌊✊🏽
It's quite funny when Talley’s, or any of the fishing companies, act all concerned about the health and safety of the people involved in peaceful protest, and try to paint Greenpeace's actions as too reckless or risky.
Greenpeace has a 50 year track record of safely taking direct action in Aotearoa, and we're happy to compare it to that of any of the companies involved in industrial fishing, any day.
We can then see who looks after people (never mind the planet) with actual data to back claims up.
Here we can see Talley’s employees being very concerned and cautious about the Health and Safety™ of the activists this morning. /s
“Our vessels are working environments and everyone on board are authorised workers who have undergone the proper health and safety training.”
Are Talley’s offering to train the Greenpeace volunteers? For health & safety reasons, obviously.
