Japan to hunt Humpback Whales

Dear BlueVoice Supporter

 

Japan has announced plans to expand its pseudo-scientific whaling to

include humpback whales and finbacks in the South Pacific. Despite a torrent of

international protest, Japan's Prime Miniser says Japan will carry out a hunt on

these highly endangered and beloved animals.

What You Can Do

 

 

BlueVoice.org is working to stop this slaughter before it

begins. The line must be drawn at the current meeting of the International

Whaling Commission. The seven small nations whose crucial votes Japan has

attempted to buy must be told that their tourist industries will suffer severely

if they align themselves with Japan.

 

The fight to Save the Whales resulted in a worldwide

moratorium on commercial whaling in the 1980s. Now, it seems, we must fight this

battle again. And we can win again. We must win.

Identifying Individual Humpbacks of the Southern Ocean

 

 

We are working to collect the identities of as many whales in

the South Pacific as possible and show to which nations they go during the

austral winter. The purpose of this is to show that these whales are not

amorphous blobs of meat but individuals with whom people across the South

Pacific have relationships. We want to make the case that Japan does not have a

right to kill whales that are so dear to so many people.

 

" I have personally experienced the magnificence and curiosity

of the humpbacks which winter in Moorea, French Polynesia. The idea of these

whales being killed is horrifying to me. " - Hardy Jones

By donating to BlueVoice.org you can support our work to save

whales and dolphins around the world. For over 25 years we have confronted the

dolphin hunters in Japan and brought an end to the killing in several fishing

villages. We have shown how Japanese fishermen wipe out one species after

another, with no regard to conservation. This evidence is being presented at the

current International Whaling Commission meeting to demonstrate Japan's lack of

concern for conservation of these species. Help us continue to bring these

atrocities to the world's attention.
