Hello,

 

My name is Jim Wickens, I'm an oceans campaigner for Greenpeace

International. I'm writing to you from Ulsan, an old whaling city

in South Korea, where this year's International Whaling

Commission meeting will be held. I am here with Yeyong Choi from the

Korean Federation for Environmental Movement (KFEM), and

<http://prefs.greenpeace.org/mail-links/clicks/6536.1549032.1505150> we

need your help.

 

We have uncovered plans that the Korean government is planning to

build a whale meat processing factory here, to enable them to

process freshly caught whales. What is the purpose of such a

facility? It strongly indicates Korea has plans to resume commercial

whaling. Why else would you invest in a brand new whale meat factory?

 

Greenpeace and KFEM have today set up camp on the land where the

government is planning to build this factory, establishing a

Whale Embassy, to allow us to speak for Korea's whales that have

no voice to protest. It isn't easy here, camped in the heart of

Korea's pro-whaling past, with a dozen whale and dolphin meat

restaurants across the road. You can see some whale meat for sale

in the photo below.

 

<http://activism.greenpeace.org/ezine/koreanwhaling/whalemeat.jpg> We

want the Korean government to know that the international community

opposes the resumption of whaling in any shape or form and we

urgently need your help to do this.

 

Please help us to speak out for Korea's whales - become a Whale

Ambassador today.

 

Click here to send a message to the Korean embassy in your

country, telling them of your concerns, and asking the Korean

government to:

 

 

* Publicly announce they will not build a whale meat

processing factory

 

* Bring an end to the whale meat trade in Korea

 

* Vote for whales and not whaling, at this year's

International Whaling Commission meeting in Korea.

 

 

By sending this letter, you can directly show your support at the

occupation - for every message sent, we will tie a ribbon to our

embassy lighthouse. The more ribbons we get, the stronger our

voice becomes!

 

Thanks for your support.

Every letter sent will make a difference.

 

All the best,

 

Jim and Yeyong
