From Captain Paul Watson.
“It seems I am quite the bandito.”
“As Costa Rica prepares to illegally export 690 kilos of shark fins, they have placed a wanted poster for me on beer bottles in Costa Rica. (I am) wanted for disrupting a shark fin poaching operation in 2002 in the waters of Guatemala, something we did in response to a request from the government of Guatemala.”
