TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND THE ANTI - WHALING ACTIVISTS ON THE OLYMPIC

PENINSULA

 

 

WE, the members of Project Blue Sea e.V., and a majority of all German

citizens,

do not want to see the blood of any more innocent gray whales spilled. We

call on the U.S. government to halt its' unacceptable Makah whaling policy

and respect the laws of the U.S., as well as international law.

 

We respect and admire the people of the Makah Nation, but know that the

killing of gray whales will not help them rediscover their past. In fact,

the Makah people are strong enough to take pride in their heritage without

the further killing of whales.

 

It is very clear that the whales of the world's oceans face a lot of

problems day by day. The resumption of whale killing is not acceptable by

ANY nation. We will continue to oppose whale killing, whether by the U.S.,

Japan, Norway, Faroe Islands or any other nation.

 

We also stand firmly in support of the anti-whaling groups currently

opposing the U.S. government's whaling policies in Washington state,

including the Peninsula Citizens for the Protection of Whales, U.S. Citizens

Against Whaling, and Ocean Defense International.

 

There is a profound admiration for Native Americans here in Germany. To us,

Native peoples represent a symbol for peacefully sharing our lives on this

earth, not for plundering the earth. We hope the Makah people choose the

path of peace, not killing.

 

We have gathered on the banks of the Rhine River here in Germany to place

this message in a bottle. We hope the sea will carry our message to the

shores of Washington state, and we hope our message is clear.

 

Please stop killing whales!!!
