URGENT, SENATOR STEVENS WANTS TO

WIPE OUT STELLER SEA LIONS !!!

 

 

Dear Friend of animals,

 

When you write to the White House and Secretary of

Commerce Norman Mineta regarding the plight of Steller

sea lions, don't forget to send a letter to Senaor

Ted Stevens® too .

 

Please take a look at the following article:

Stevens Vows To Block Rule Intended To Protect Sea Lions

Senate Appropriations Chairman Stevens, siding with Alaska's

pollock fishing industry, vowed Tuesday to delay federal efforts

to aid the dwindling Steller sea lion population in the waters

near Alaska.

In comments to reporters, Stevens renewed his threat to attach

language to an appropriations bill that would delay a federal

decision prohibiting pollock fishing near the sea lions' habitat

in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.

Clinton " can keep vetoing bills, but the Steller sea lion provision

is going to be in there, " Stevens said.

He added that " if Congress doesn't do something " the pollock

fishing moratorium would stand. " It's a very serious thing for a

senator from Alaska, " Stevens declared.

Stevens has been negotiating a compromise with Commerce

Secretary Mineta. So far, the provision has not been inserted

into the FY2001 Labor-HHS Appropriations bill, according to the

Senate Appropriations panel sources.

Please, let's also write to Senator Ted Stevens :

The points in your letter to Senator Ted Stevens are :

(below is for your references only.)

 

Dear Honorable Senator Stevens,

 

We are requesting you kindly to stop trawling fishing industry

to fish in Steller Sea Lions critical habitat area.

 

If the government continues to let trawling fishing industry to

fish in

Steller Sea Lions critical Habitat area(the Bering Sea and

Gulf of Alaska areas ) and make the population of this very

endangered Steller Sea Lions continue to dwindle towards

extinction , we will have to take action to strongly advise all of our

relatives, friends, all members , all local grocery stores, super

markets , all local restaurants, all consumers unions ,

associations to stop buying all of the fish and fish products came

from ALASKA State because Alaska fish industry are pushing a

magnificent specie to the extinction !

 

The Steller Sea Lions population has declined from 140,000

decades ago to less than 16,000 today, mostly as a result of

OVER-FISHING in sea lions habitat. A recent U.S. Federal court

ruling mandated the cessation of groundfish trawling in sea

lion habitat in order to reverse this deadly trend. Because this is

the LAST CHANCE for Steller Sea lions entire specie ! "

 

We are grateful to you for your kindness, compassion and your

urgent action to stop ALL trawling fishing industry to fish in

Steller Sea Lions Habitat area. Your help for Steller sea lions

plight will work both ways.

 

your name,

address,

State.
