URGENT PLEA, PLEASE STOP JAPANESE WHALING !

 

Dear Caring friends,

 

On Nov. 8, 2002, Japanese whaling ships began a FIVE-Month

expedition to kill as many MINKE WHALES as possible in

Antarctic waters as well as other whales.

Please let's write letters to Japan, IWC (International Whaling

Commission), President Bush etc. The SAMPLE LETTER

and all of the CONTACT Information are enclosed below .

 

For nearly 30 years, Sea Shepherd Founder Paul Watson

(also one of the Greenpeace founder) has been fighting against the

illegal whaling ships with determination, perseverence and courage.

(http://www.seashepherd.org/crew-watson.shtml )

 

Sea Shepherd Paul Watson and his courageous team are on the

ice again to confront the Japanese notorious whalers equipped

with the most sophisticated whaling ships in Antarctic high sea now.

http://www.seashepherd.org/campaign-current.shtml

 

The Sea Shepherd anti-whaling ships are usually old and outdated.

For the effective anti-whaling movement , we encourage all of the

caring groups and concerned individuals to donate what ever you

can to help the Sea Shepherd to have better ships and better

equipment to confront and stop Japanese whaling ships.

Your name,

City, State, Zip code

Country

 

Dear Mr. President ,

 

I want to register my strong objection to the recently expanded

" Scientific " whaling program conducted by the Government of

Japan, which now includes the killing of the endangered sei whale.

Most of the meat from the slaughtered whales ends up being

sold as food.

 

We are pleading you to stop Japanese and Norwegian whaling

programs for good. We also ask you to consider Japan and

Norway who ruthlessly kill whales massively as the international

" Eco-Terrorists " :

 

Japanese whalers slaughtered 684 whales in 2002.

Norwegian whalers kill 634 whales in 2002.

These countries despise all international laws and warnings.

 

On Nov. 8, 2002, Japanese whaling ships began a FIVE-Month

expedition annually to kill as many MINKE WHALES as

possible in Antarctic waters.

 

Please help to stop Japanese and Norwegian cruel whaling.

Thanks.

 

Sincerely yours,
