Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Dear Caring friend, Iceland launched its first whale hunt in more than a decade in the name of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. Three ships - the Sigurbjorg, the Njordur and the Halldor Sigurdsson - left port Sunday to begin hunting for 38 minke whales during August and September http://story.news./fc?cid=34 & tmpl=fc & in= Science & cat=Whales_and_Whaling Please, let's all protest that Iceland is starting its slaughtering of the great whales. PLEASE GO TO YOUR LOCAL GROCERY STORE TO TALK TO THE " MANAGERS " and ASK THEM TO STOP IMPORTING THE SEAFOOD FROM ICELAND and NORWAY. BECAUSE THEY KILL WHALES !!! PLEASE CALL/WRITE / FAX now. Enclosed a SAMPLE LETTER and CONTACT INFORMATION. Every Contact is important to reach. You are most welcome to write your own letter, express your own opinions on this very important issue, or modify our sample letter if you wish. Thanks for your efforts. For more information on Iceland's resumption of whaling, see: http://www.hsus.org/ace/19472 =========================================== SAMPLE LETTER : (Please place your Name, Address, City, State, Zip at the BEGINNING and END of your letter. --------------------- Your Name, Your City, Your State, and Your Zip code Your Country, PLEASE STOP KILLING WHALES . Dear Prime Minister of Iceland , PLEASE STOP KILLING WHALES . Whaling causes an excruciating pain to great whales. Whaling is an Eco-Terrorism behavior. It is inhumane and it is harming the eco-balance. There is no method of killing whales that can be considered " Humane. " Whether whales are killed with explosive harpoons or bullets, death is rarely instantaneous; a " struck and landed " whale may suffer hours. And contrary to general humane slaughter laws throughout the world, there is no present method of killing whales that renders them instantaneously insensible to the pain of their deaths. We will all stop buying Iceland seafood from now on. We will also halt all our plan to visit Iceland . Whale Watching business has much more money to make than the bloody Whale killing business. Iceland is supposed to be a peaceful country. Iceland must honor the international moratorium and abandon all plans to resume whaling. Please Stop the cruel, barbaric Whaling . Thanks.
