Sekiu, WA - Report from onsite anti-whaling activists

[Guest guest]

5.1.00

 

Ocean Defense International is still stationed on the Olympic Peninsula

actively monitoring the situation revolving around the Makah whale hunt. We

have been on patrol on water or land, as always, monitoring the situation in

Neah Bay. Due to poor weather conditions, the action has died down and

things have been pretty quiet. However, we will remain in the area until

the whales have safely migrated north. Recent reports from various

independents researching the grey whale migration report that the peak of

the migration has past through. At this time the migration is primarily

mothers and calves, and pregnant mothers. Although Keith Johnson said they

were going to " get a big one " this year, their one attempt at a whale much

smaller than their 32 ft canoe proves otherwise. With the recent migration

status, we expect more of the same in the future.

 

A big thanks to everyone who has stopped by during Saturday protests, and

donated food. It has helped us a lot and we are set for a couple weeks.

Right now we are in desperate need of fuel funds to keep us going on the

water. We are just about breaking even - and we need your help to continue.

Feel free to donate with a credit card by calling 360.963.2311 or sending

donations to us at:

Ocean Defense Int'l

PO Box 123

We are an all volunteer, grassroots organization and all funds and donations

go directly to running the campaign. Without public support, we would not

be able to run. For more information visit http://www.stopwhalekill.org
