Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 THE MOST LOGICAL WAY TO END WHALING IS TO STRIKE AT THE HEART OF THE WHALE-KILLERS!Dear Friends & Activists:What WILL finally bring an end to Japan's relentless slaughter ofwhales? Obviously, the LAW means nothing to whalers. They continue toshow contemptuous disregard for the International Whaling Commission'smoratorium. DIPLOMACY means nothing. Governments, environmentalorganizations and the general public have pleaded with and even suedJapanese officials on behalf of our whales--to no avail. Ethics andmorality mean nothing. The Japanese pro-whaling faction has proven theywill DO or SAY whatever it takes to reach their goal of bloodlust. If it means amassing wealth ILLEGALLY, by profiting from the sale of whale meat--so be it. If it means poisoning their OWN CHILDREN with mercury-laden cetacean products--so be it. If it involves PIRACY and the PLUNDERING of the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary, so be it. If it entails targeting and wiping out ENDANGERED SPECIES and hundreds of PREGNANT FEMALES, so be it. If it requires BUYING VOTES from non-whaling countries through economic BRIBERY, to tip the balance of power within the IWC for the resumption of LEGAL whaling--SO BE IT!Greenpeace recently proved that whaling can be STOPPED--and rather quickly. They targeted one of 3 companies which make up the CORE of Japan's whaling industry--Nissui.The Japanese global fishing giants known as Nissui, Maruha and Kyokuyo have killed OVER 1/2 MILLION whales since WWII.Greenpeace recognized that a Western-based, consumer SEAFOOD BOYCOTT of these companies would be monumentally effective in ending Japanesewhaling, because Maruha, Nissui & Kyokuyo own extremely LARGE marketshares within North America's seafood industry. Presently, the life's "blood" ofthese whaling companies is comprised of their vast FISHINGenterprises! This connection to Western consumers is the one CRITICAL WEAKNESS which CAN and MUST be successfully exploited to bring downwhaling!!Disturbingly, Greenpeace did NOT take their boycott campaign to itslogical conclusion, by using unrelenting economic pressure to demand anend to whaling. Instead, after briefly targeting Gorton's [Nissui] forboycott--a campaign which showed incredible promise and made amazingstrides early on--Greenpeace mysteriously walked away after winning oneSMALL concession.Nissui and its whaling partners Maruha and Kyokuyo, were intimidated enough, to notify Greenpeace that they would be divesting their whaling stock in the company they owned, jointly. In June of 2006, those stocks were 'donated' to the Japanese government. Unfortunately, their shares were simply transfered to the "Institute of Cetacean Research", the official front organization for, and drivingforce behind whaling in Japan!Maruha, Nissui and Kyokuyo, while publicly appearing to distance themselves from whaling, privately continue to fight hard to keep the bloody business of whaling alive! They employ BLATANT LIES, SECRECY and SPIN-DOCTORING to dupe environmental organizations, animal rights activists and the general public into believing they no longer have any connection to this mass speciescide. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!WHAT BLOOD-SOAKED NISSUI, MARUHA & KYOKUYO DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW:1) The Chief Executive Officers for each of these companies continue tosit upon the throne of the Japanese Fisheries Agency. An organization which is not only extremely influential within the highest echelons of Japanese government, but one which has a completely PRO-WHALING agenda. The JFA wields incredible power within the fishing industry throughout the world.2) Maruha, Nissui and Kyokuyo continue to cast their votes IN FAVOR ofreinstating commercial whaling at each IWC meeting.3) Kyokuyo continues to build and sell WHALING SHIPS [with no plans tophase out this lucrative part of its business.] They also process, package, distribute and sell WHALE MEAT throughout Japan.NOTE: Kyokuyo claims they are phasing out the sale of whale meat as soon as their supply is gone. The truth is that the supply of Kyokuyo's whale meat will beINFINITE--until whaling is FORCIBLY ended, or whales are completelywiped from the planet!*** TO END WHALING WE MUST STRIKE AT THE HEART! ***It is CRITICAL to email Maruha, Nissui & Kyokuyo! Remember, they ARE the Japanese whaling industry!! Let them know you will not be contributingto their wealth, or to the torture and destruction of whales and othermarine mammals by consuming seafood! This tactic WORKS! Their biggestFEAR --AS GLOBAL CONGLOMERATES--are huge economic losses from seafood boycotts! They CAN and WILL use their enormous power and influence to PUT AN END to Japan's whaling industry if NOT doing so means the loss of their fishing empire![MARUHA]Email: info[NISSUI]Email: info[KYOKUYO]USA Email: kamecEUROPE Email: info** BOYCOTT ALL SEAFOOD! ** This decision is vital to marine mammals--globally! Every whaler, sealer and dolphin killer around the world, makes their living from the sale of SEAFOOD!Please don't let the WHALING NATIONS OF NORWAY & ICELAND off the hook! INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR SEAFOOD BOYCOTT! Both countries' economies are heavily dependent on seafood exports for survival!*** NORWAY ***[ Second only to Japan in killing whales.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Wow... I'd say that this is very significant and informative... I'd signed a lot of petitions after joining this group and I think this would be one of the great things I can do for those who can't speak for themselves... I would e-mail all those INHUMANE people, as soon as I'm done with all my exams! I see that these sort of things are the most HUMANE things that people nowadays can ever do! ***To all those who are in Green Vibrations, I take this opportunity to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to do great things for this world. Though what I can do may not really be big, I want you to know thatI care, and I've learned a lot from lenient people like you... I'm glad that we are changing this world in a better way, hand-in-hand, and... in this way, we can really make a humane world out of this cruel, non-vegan society... JUST DON'T GIVE UP! I'm proud to be a vegan, and I've become more of it since I joined this group... May you continue to pursue veganism-- whatever you do, wherever you go. -Hanboreum Yoo- , Brennan Browne <endspeciescide wrote: > > THE MOST LOGICAL WAY TO END WHALING IS TO STRIKE AT THE HEART OF THE WHALE-KILLERS! > > Dear Friends & Activists: > > What WILL finally bring an end to Japan's relentless slaughter of > whales?
