Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 *** Please Cross-Post Widely ***BOYCOTT ICELAND---AND LET THEM KNOW!!Iceland, like ALL whaling and sealing nations, depends heavily on its seafood exports. Its fishing industry makes up approximately 60 percent of Iceland's exports.REFUSING TO CONSUME ANY SEAFOOD--EVER, is the MOST important way YOU can actively help end whaling, sealing and dolphin slaughter, worldwide. The 2nd most important?--offending nations must KNOW you are boycotting!! A short note to their tourism board notifying them of a boycott sends a strong message that WILL be heard!~ ICELANDIC TOURISM BOARD ~E-mail: infoSAMPLE LETTER: [Please vary to make it your own.]Sirs:From May through September thousands of tourists flock to Iceland for a single purpose--whale watching. This industry alone, brings millions of Kronasinto your economy. Seafood accounts for 60% of your exports.As consumers, we, the international community, have a powerful voice.As long as Iceland chooses to annihilate the marine mammals of this planet, with no regard for the rights of the creatures or the international moratoriumit runs roughshod over, you will experience consumer boycotts...and they will GROW.I urge you to bring an immediate and permanent halt to the slaughter ofthe world's cetaceans, and begin implementing LEGAL PROTECTIONSfor them. Until this happens, you are destined to suffer increasingly devastating economic losses to your seafood and whale-watching industry. This of course, will negatively affect businesses such as restaurants, hotels, bike and car rentals and others who depend so heavily on tourism.I will be asking friends, family, co-workers, religious, civic groups and others, to boycott Iceland and its exports until whaling is history.Sincerely,NameCountry*** THESE PETITIONS DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP!! ***END WHALING--NOW!http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/194508729REVOKE MAKAH WHALING RIGHTS!http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/help-revoke-makah-whaling-rightsBOYCOTT CHINA! END ITS ANIMAL TERROR!!http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/395884823 The concept of 'animal rights' values the simple premise that ALL living creatures have a "right" to be allowed to live their lives without victimization--free from brutality. It is a right that EVERY being strives for.~Brennan Browne~"Humanely" slaughtered 'meat', is an obscene lie invented and perpetuated by people who are too lazy, selfish and cruel to change their dietary habits. Forcibly denying a creature its right to life, love and companionship can NEVER be humane.~Brennan Browne~Animal Rights--Rational, not Radical.~Brennan Browne~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
