Interpol issued a warrant after Sea Shepherd founder, Paul Watson, skipped bail in Germany and claimed that Japan is out to get him
Interpol has issued an arrest notice for the Sea Shepherd Society's Canadian founder, who skipped bail in Germany last month over fears of retribution for his ongoing clashes with Japanese whalers.
Paul Watson was arrested at Frankfurt Airport in May on a Costa Rican warrant that claimed he had endangered the crew of a fishing vessel a decade ago.

I’d like to see that pinko meathead Watson try and mess with fisherman here in Texas. If he’s lucky he’ll just get shot!
