Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 (@PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS EMAIL WIDELY , THANKS) VERY URGENT NORWAY STARTS EXPORTING WHALE MEAT !!!!!!!!!! Dear Friend, Japan is not alone to kill whales in the un-controllable fashion. (Japan killed 500 whales last year.) Norway kills more than 700 whales each year and now begins to " EXPORT " its whale meat. (please see Reference # 3 at the end) The fate of gentle great whales is truly in the most dangerous time now !!! We must all work very hard on whales now no matter who you are. The Government is not taking any action. The small citizens of the earth must take the action to show we care. We live in such a desperate and despair times and we must fight so hard against evils. If we do not take any action, the evil is laughing hard at us and animals suffered unimaginably. Your action will make huge differences for whales eventually. Norwegian embassies have received very few reactions from the public, environment groups and authorities about the EXPORT decision. Furthermore, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is reported to have been SURPRISED at the lack of interest from the public. PLEASE , LET'S ALL SEND OUR OUTRAGE TO NORWAY. PLEASE WRITE TO ALL OF THE FLOWING ADDRESSES . The SAMPLE LETTER is conveniently enclosed below for you. Just simply Copy and Paste into the various email addresses and Address to the RIGHT PERSON !

For example: Dear Prime Minister, Or Dear Minister of the Environment, Or Dear Minister of the Agriculture , ,........................... Sample letter STARTS. (Please Read the sample letter !!!) ( You may write your own style of letter if you wish.) : SUBJECT : PLEASE STOP THE KILLING OF WHALES ! PLEASE STOP EXPORTING WHALE MEAT AND BLUBBER Dear ................., I am extremely outraged to just learn that the Norwegian government has announced that it will approve the export of minke whale blubber and meat under certain conditions. I strongly urge you to reverse this decision immediately. Any trade would be disastrous for whales around the world. Moreover, Norwegian trade would provide the cover for pirate whalers who catch all species regardless of how rare they are. In 1983 minke whales were included in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This designation BANS international commercial trade in an agreed list of endangered species. Norway is killing more than 700 whales(mostly Minke whales) a year. This kind of barbaric behavior is extremely horrifying and absolutely un-acceptable for any human being. THE EXPLOSIVE HARPOONS FIRED INTO THE BRAIN WITH VIDEOS SHOWING MINKE WHALES " THRASHING IN BLOODY WATER " FOR UP TO 20 MINUTES BEFORE DYING .......... Whales are NOT your enemy but your country put them all died in the excruciating pain to die .......... Norway is supposed to be one of the most civilized country. But Norway acts so barbarically and so cruelly in killing whales. This kind of cruelty and barbarity towards gentle, friendly " sentient " whales is ABSOLUTELY UN-ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY HUMAN BEING in any kind of measure or perspective. If Norway continues its barbarity and cruelty on whales, we will have no choice but to advise all of our friends, neighbors, all members to STOP BUYING any of the Norwegian's commercial products as well as your fishery products . We will also advise all of them to STOP TRAVELING to Norway for pleasure. We will also inform all of our LOCAL MEDIA the Norwegian's cruelty and barbarity killing of numerous giant sentient whales every year ! We will also inform our Government Representatives to stop buying any products from Norwegian Government. Again, I am strongly urging you to immediately STOP KILLING ANY INNOCENT WHALES AND STOP EXPORTING WHALE MEAT . I would be grateful to you for your kindness, compassion, and urgent help for whales plight .

Environmental groups worldwide responded by calling for diplomatic action against Norway, following its announcement Tuesday that it intends to resume sales of whale blubber and meat to Japan.
