URGENT, Stop Whaling Now Before It's Too Late

[Guest guest]

URGENT, STOP WHALING NOW BEFORE TOO LATE !

 

PART ONE

 

Dear Friend of animals,

 

This is a very important campaign to stop Japanese

whaling. In the next couple of series of actions , we

will campaign from different angles to fight Japanese

and Norway's killing thousands of great whales.

PLEASE, let's work hard together before the possible

commercial whaling become open and clear soon. Every

email we send to you is very important to act !

 

Japan just killed 440 whales in the Sanctuary area and

just returned on April 6, 2001. Now, in just a few

days, Japan is going out again on May 11, 2001, to

kill more and bigger whales !

 

As you can see, time after time it proves that the IWC

(International Whaling Commission) has lost its

function to control and restrain the killing whales

countries. This is a wanton world of killing the

unlimited number of giant, innocent, sentient whales.

 

" Do you know whales eat a great deal of saury and

cuttlefish? " " The research from the 2000 expedition

found minke whales use not only saury and sardines,

but cuttlefish and Alaskan pollack as their main food,

and reconfirmed that they are in competition with

fishery industries, " said the Ministry of Agriculture,

Forestry and Fisheries in an annual report in April,

2001.

 

There are some intelligent insiders suggested that if

the USA does NOT impose the sanctions soon against

Japan, then the only approach to save the whales is to

" catch " the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry

and Fisheries. Because they said he is the person to

give the permission to Japanese whalers to kill

unlimited number of whales and dolphins and he is the

one to support Japanese Whalers with all of the

modern killing equipment of whaling fleet to kill! He

and Norway are the one pushing the RMS behind to pave

the road to the world commercial whaling again. Well,

it sounds a good idea to exchange fishery ministry for

whales safety. But who has the guts to execute such

great mission to save the whales ? It is said the

current new Agriculture and Fishery Ministry is

Tsutomu Takebe ( 3-1, Nagatacho 2-chome,Chiyoda-ku,

Tokyo 100). Well, we pray for the whales safety as

well as ministry's safety though.

 

According to some sources , every Japanese Ministry of

Agriculture, and Fisheries is very corrupted with the

Japanese Whaling industry.

 

Now, we must write again before it is too late to the

United States Congress, the President Bush and all of

his cabinet members in the hope to impose the real

Trade Sanctions. We also want to ask you to write to

Japan, and IWC, and several member nations who

promotes killing of whales. (in the next action ).

 

We provide the KEY POINTS for your letter (you may put

the following Key Points into your letter and sign

your name and address at the end of the letter or in

the begining of the letter) and all of the CONTACT

information followed for your convenience as much as

we can. Thanks for your kindness, compassion and

efforts to save whales. c.c.

==========================================

 

KEY POINTS IN YOUR LETTER :

 

When you write a letter , please include the following

Key Points in your letter :

 

 

1: Please impose TRADE SANCTIONS against Japan and

Norway killing of thousands of whales each year.

Please impose the Trade Sanctions with real

materialized sanctions on the Japanese imported goods

to U.S. including Japanese automobiles and foods

(especially the entire Japanese fishery products must

be sanctioned on.) And sanctions on all of the

Norwegian's imports.

 

Japan just killed 440 whales in the Southern ocean

Sanctuary and just returned on April 6, 2001. Now, in

just a few days, with busy killing schedule , Japan is

going out again on May 11, 2001, to kill more and

bigger whales! (see Reference # 1 and # 2).

 

Each year, thousands of whales worldwide were killed

in the hands of Japan, Norway, Denmark,.... with the

IWC loophole for excuses of " scientific research " . All

whale meat were ended up in the commercial meat market

and high priced Japanese restaurants.(see Reference #

8 )

 

 

2: JAPANESE KILLING WHALES AND DOLPHINS:

Japan went out again on May 11, 2001 to Northern

Pacific to kill more and bigger whales(including

endangered Byrde and Sperm Whales) despite the

international repeated protest and warning ! They will

kill 160 whales up to July including killing 50 of the

Bryde's whales, and 10 endangered sperm whales.(see

Reference # 2)

 

From mid Nov. 2000 to April 6, 2001, Japan just killed

440 whales in Southern Ocean " Sanctuary Area " in

addition to 43 Bryde's, 40 minke, and five sperm

whales, which it took in the first leg of this

season's hunt (August and September 2000) - making for

a total of seasonal hunt take of nearly 700 whales a

year. This is the first whaling season in which the

Japanese government has included the endangered

Bryde's and sperm whales.

 

Japan is also the world biggest killer on Dolphins.

Each year from Oct. to end of April is Japanese

killing dolphin season. Japan is steadily hunting its

coastal cetacean populations to extinction. By 1995, a

single species -- Dall's porpoise -- was being taken

at a rate of 17,000 per year. Hundreds of boats are

licensed to kill, and they have severely depleted, in

sequence, populations of striped dolphins, pilot

whales, beaked whales, and Dall's porpoise.(see

Reference # 4)

 

 

3: NORWEGIAN WHALING ACTIVITY:

Norway, too, will begin a whale hunt in May, 2001.

They aim to kill 549 minke whales in the North

Atlantic, in a season that will run from mid May to

the end of August. And now Norway is trying to catch

more whales. In January 2001 Norway announced a

lifting on the export ban on whale products.

 

 

4: In the past, the Clinton/Gore tolerance on the

Japanese killing the whales has led to Japan's

increasingly large scale of killing whales in the

bigger size and more number of whales in the open sea.

Japan even kill large number of whales in the

" SANCTUARY Area " without any concerns. Japan even uses

its financial bait to get those tiny Caribbean nations

to vote for killing and against whale sanctuary in the

last 52nd IWC Meeting in Australia. Clinton/Gore

" tolerance " , empty gesture of NO real actual

materialized trade sanctions and high level official

contacts proved a complete failure. Japan is hurriedly

killing more and bigger whales in nearly every month

in the entire year , right now !

 

 

5: Here, it is important to point out that former Vice

President Al Gore himself is an " environmentalist " .

We do respect Former Vice President Al Gore. However,

Gore " brokered " the 1993 of $261 million worth of

missiles to Norway. Since then, Gore had been giving

OK for countries to kill whales everywhere,

especially Norway ! He also gave OK to Makah Whaling,

Inuit tribal bands killing highly endangered Bowhead

whales, Alaska killing beluga whales which made Beluga

number fell from 1000 to 150. (see Reference # 5)

Gore is also the master designer behind the RMS. (The

Revised Management Scheme.) , a plan to openly resume

the Commercial whaling . It will be soon discussed

in July , 2001 IWC meeting. The National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is still very much

under Gore's influences. Gore refused to sanction

Japan and Norway even under the certification of

" Pelly Amendment " by the then Secretary of Commerce

Norman Mineta . We suggest to replace all of the key

people in NOAA and in all of the Whales related

departments, urgently. Those people had damaged the

United States long standing on whales protection. Some

senior people said there are Japanese and Norwegian

influence had long secretly involved in there. With

the corruption everywhere, we suspect they are not the

exception either.

 

Some sources said , the Japanese Ministry of

Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is also corrupted

with the Japanese Whaling industry.

 

 

6: After a 15 year moratorium, commercial whaling

could resume under a scheme called " RMS " . IWC

(International Whaling Commission) has lost its

control on member countries killing whales

uncontrollably. IWC is an empty shell and it does not

have high sea policing power. Japan uses financial

bait to buy more votes from small island countries and

manipulate the IWC voting results.

 

7: According to whale experts, the " TRADE SANCTION "

is the only way, the most decisive, effective and most

peaceful way to stop Japanese and Norway to kill

thousands of whales each year and to halt potential

world commercial whaling .

 

8: The United States has been so weak against Japan's

killing on whales under Gore's influences. Now, the

US must be the leader to take the decisive action

against Japanese and Norwegian killing on whales

before it is too late or the open and even larger

scale of commercial whaling coming soon under the

disguise of RMS. Thousands of giant , peaceful whales

are suffering excruciating pain with twisting,

rolling , struggling body in the sea to slow death

when the explosive shoot into his/her head and

stomach.

 

9: Therefore, I am strongly demanding the US

government to lead the world to impose the real

materialized Trade Sanctions on the entire imports

from Japan which at least including all of the

Automobile and Foods from Japan and sanctions on

Norwegian's entire imports to U.S. urgently.

 

Thank you.
