Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Dear dolphin defenders, Tomorrow is Japan Dolphin Day, September 25, 2007. We are now more than 80 NGOs strong, protesting the worlds largest dolphin slaughter at 40 Japanese embassies and consulate offices worldwide -- the largest protest against the Japanese drive fisheries ever! Our message will be heard loud and clear all the way to Tokyo: STOP the DOLPHIN SLAUGHTER NOW! Please do not be discouraged if your demo is not covered by the local media. It really doesn't matter that much. Japan Dolphin Day was designed to have an impact on the permitting process in Tokyo. These Japanese embassies and consulate offices must report any protests to the government in Tokyo. I'll never forget the words of the young dolphin hunter in Taiji who said to Helene and I: " You must stop taking pictures, If the world finds out about this (dolphin slaughter) we will have to stop. Tokyo officials may not issue another permit. " I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize to all of those that I pestered, pushed, and prodded in the last two months. I know that I made a pest out of myself trying to reach our millions of members in hope of getting them to show up for this important event. Good luck tomorrow, and thank you all so much, -- ric www.SaveTaijiDolphins.org Updated List: September 24th, 2007: Animal Angel ~ Los Angeles Animals Asia ~ Hong Kong Animalitrus ~ Buenos Aires Animalisti Italiani ~ Rome AnimaNaturalis International ~ Mexico City/Bogota/Barcelona/Buenos Aires Animal Public ~ Duesseldorf Animal Rights Hawaii ~ Waikiki Animal Welfare Institute ~ Washington DC Animaux en Péril ~ Brussels Asian Animal Protection Network ~ Hong Kong Asociacion de Derecho Ambiental ~ Panama City Asociación de Amigos de los Animales ~ Guatemala City Asociacion Ecologista Panameña ~ Panama City Aware Guatemala ~ Guatemala City Asociación Oceánica ~ Panama City Ben White Fan Club ~ International Blue Voice ~ Miami Born Free ~ London British Divers Marine Life Rescue ~ London Bundestagsfraktion BUENDNIS90/DIE GRUENEN - Berlin Campaign Whale ~ London Canadian Marine Environment Protection Society ~ Vancouver Care for the Wild International ~ London Campaigns Against the Cruelty to Animals ~ Vancouver Cetacean Society International ~ New York/Boston Comite Pro Cierre de Petaquilla ~ Panama City Comite pro cierre de Petaquilla ~ Panama City Committee for a Dolphinarium-free Belgium ~ Brussels Conservation de Mamiferos Marinos de Mexico ~ Mexico City Coordinadora Campesina por la Vida ~ Panama City C.
