Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 URGENT, SAVE THE WHALES NOW.(8/9/2001) Dear Caring friend, The Whaling Ban survived this year at the IWC meeting. Thanks for your great help, the RMS was not voted this year. Next year IWC meeting will be held in Tokyo, Japan, which is a notoriously killing the whales and dolphins country. Japan just returned last Tuesday with 159 whales from Northern Pacific Ocean. The kills doubled . Japan's total kills this past year is nearly 700 whales. Whales are in the dangerous bad shape now. Even the PETA launched the controversial, distasteful " Eat Whales " campaign. Poor whales ! Japan's Vote-buying to the poor countries continues. If not being stopped now, the resumption of the commercial whaling may really become the FACT next year in Tokyo meeting. It will be too late to save the whales . This email is very important. Please also pass to your friends, relatives and members. Please let's all CALL AND WRITE TO ALL OF THE CONTACTS BELOW. The Sample letter and all Contact information are enclosed . Thanks so much for your caring, compassion and urgent help for whales plight. ========================================= SAMPLE LETTER : (you may write your own letter if you wish. ) (NOTE: Please include all of the important References in your letter . Please place your Name, Address and Constituent at the beginning and the end of the letter to get better results. ). FROM: Your Name, Your Address, City, State, Zip, U.S. Constituent SUBJECT: PLEASE SAVE THE WHALES NOW. Dear Mr. President , I am urgently requesting you to : 1: Impose Trade Sanctions against Japanese whaling. 2: Oppose the dangerous RMS(Revised Management Scheme). 3: Please Condemn the Japanese Vote-Buying and its continuing bribing. 4: Please ignore the White House Council on Environmental Quality's secret RMS agenda. Japanese whaling fleet just returned from a two month voyage to the northern Pacific Ocean, with 159 whales killed after it killed 440 whales previously in April, 2001 from the Southern Ocean Sanctuary, an internationally protected whale " Sanctuary " located in Antarctica. The size of catch was almost double the number of whales Japan caught last year when it killed 88 in North Pacific Ocean. For the year ended in July , Japan killed nearly 700 whales. (see Reference # 1 ) The Whaling Ban survived this year at the IWC meeting which just ended on July 27. Next year IWC meeting will be held in Japan, which is a notoriously killing the whales and dolphins country and its insanity to lead the world towards Commercial Whaling . (see Reference # 2 ) Greenpeace expressed outrage at Japan's decision to vote against a proposal to protect the critically endangered Western North Pacific Gray whales, of which there are believed to be less than 100 left. Japan was the only country to vote against it. In other words, Japan wants to kill ALL WHALES ! (see References # 3 ) Japanese newest excuses to kill whales is that whales eat too much . " That's like blaming woodpeckers for deforestation, " " Whales and fish survived in balance in the oceans for millions of years in huge numbers. What depleted whales was the large commercial whaling that Japan wants to start up again, and what has depleted the fisheries is overfishing and mismanagement. " said Greenpeace. Japanese vote buying is continuing targeting the poor countries. Without immediately stopping this vicious bribing, the IWC whaling ban could be lifted next year in Tokyo ! Time is very urgent to save the whales more than ever . As your concerned Constituents, we want the Administration to take solid, determining actions now instead of empty bluffing like the Clinton Administration did before. The empty bluffing proved a complete failure. It only increases more of Japanese killing, more of the vote-buying, more of the bribing everywhere, and more of the countries vote for commercial whaling in IWC. Therefore, I'm strongly requesting you, PLEASE : 1: Impose Trade Sanctions urgently before the resumption of the World Commercial Whaling in next IWC meeting in Tokyo in May , 2002. 2: Oppose the RMS (Revised Management Scheme). It is a plan to formally legalize and resume the Commercial whaling and discard the Whaling ban completely. In no time, it will go for large scale of the commercial whaling to kill ALL whales. (please review References # 4 ) 3: Please Condemn the Japanese VOTE-BUYING : The Japanese government is packing the IWC with delegates from developing countries who are being promised Overseas Development Aid money IF they vote in favour of commercial whaling. This year Japan did not succeed in getting the votes required to overturn the 1986 whaling moratorium. However, unless this vote buying is urgently countered, Japan is likely to succeed next year. The government of New Zealand has already made a clear public statement condemning Japanese vote buying. I urge US Government also make a strong public statement to condemn the Japanese Vote-Buying. 4: Please ignore and oppose the President's Council on Environmental Quality 's secret RMS(Revised Management Scheme) agenda. The Council echoed last year the contention of World Wildlife Fund(WWF) executives that " the RMS would act as a " safety net " and protect whales from " over-exploitation " in the subseqent resurgent global commercial hunt that its ratification would create " . The fact is that RMS will work as the stepping stone towards the large scale of commercial whaling worldwide in no time if it were approved. Approval of the RMS would be an irreversible step toward the return of an industry that has all but destroyed the world's whales. (see Reference # 4). While the Greenpeace, Sea Shepherd and many other environmental groups oppose the RMS, the WWF seemingly already accepted the resumption of the Commercial whaling . The WWF cries for whales on the surface, but the bottom line is that it actually pushes for Commercial whaling agenda. In the recent interview with BBC, the WWF had used all excuses to push for " RMS " towards commercial whaling. WWF shamefully stated that " Uncontrolled hunting of minke whales could start as early as next year " (see Reference # 5 ) The background of WWF : WWF was founded in 1961 by trophy hunter Sir Peter Scott and cronies, among them captive bird-shooters Prince Philip of Britain and Prince Bernhardt of The Netherlands, the Whaler Aristotle Onassis. and then-National Rifle Association President C.R. " Pink " Gutermuth. WWF has successfully courted Government agencies. WWF has annual budget of 80 millions US dollars, one of the highest in the world. Animal protection donors , who contribute 46 % of WWF annual revenue, are appalled to find out about WWF support of sport hunting. On November 10, 1998, WWF stated that " WWF is not opposed to the killing of seals in principle. " WWF was also instrumental in repealing the U.S. " dolphin-safe " tuna standard in 1997, after a multi-year effort, replacing it with a standard which allows tuna fishers to kill as many as 5,000 dolphins per year. WWF holds that wildlife should pay for itself. It falsely calls this " sustainable use " , an " eco-friendly " cover for the notion that animals should be killed by the highest bidder ! (see References 6 ) With WWF's huge influence to the US Government, many experts have long been suspecting that WWF could be one of the major targets for Japanese whaling industry too just like they did to many target countries in the Caribbean islands for vote-buying in IWC . Whales are not a commodity. They are not to be killed and sold. They are not ours, or anyone else's, for the taking. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society stated that " there has never been such a thing as a sustainable commercial whale hunt. There is no such thing as a humane whale hunt. " . Even the former whaler decries the killing of great whales is a very cruel 'blood money' . The wounded harpooned whales take many hours to be chased and slow death in excruciating pain. The cruelty is beyond imagination. (see References # 7 ) The bloody, barbaric Commercial Whaling is totally, completely NOT acceptable to the modern world. Please save the whales before it is too late. Thank you. Sincerely, Your Name, Your Address, City, State, Zip CONSTITUENT(s). (Country ). P.S.
