Ken Nichols O'Keefe Animal Planet's 'Wild Rescues' - January 2000

Ken Nichols O'Keefe is featured for the marine conservation work he headed as the owner of a dive business in Hawaii called 'Deep Ecology'. Ken pioneered endangered Green Sea Turtle Rescues and personally rescued nearly 50 turtles in the space of just 2 and a half years. These rescues, along with beach clean-ups, Ghost Net recoveries and community activism and education ultimately lead the to the formation of a legitimate marine sanctuary on Oahu's North Shore, Deep Ecology's own backyard.

The world needs Ken Nichols O'Keefe. This careless loss of life is absolutely maddening. Imagine a vegan world. There is room for all life there.

@pazomblez Tell that to the UN. They've just recommended it. It's not that difficult to change entrenched behaviours, really.

And life feeds on life.

Not defending factory farming or slaughter houses or animal cruelty. Frankly I think Deep Ecology doesn't go far enough in its defense of nature.

But a "vegan world" is nothing but a silly fantasy.
