Action Alert: Join Greenpeace's Virtual Crew To Save The Whales |
|
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA, Dec. 19 -/E-Wire/-- The Japanese whaling fleet will kill 945 whales in the coming months. Greenpeace needs your help to stop them.
|
The Japanese fleet has left port and could be close to the Southern Oceans Whale Sanctuary. They will kill 935 Minke whales and 10 endangered Fin whales, unless we do something to stop them.
|
Our ship Esperanza will be there to face the fleet
|
Visit http://whales.greenpeace.org/global and provide your ideas to create the most powerful direct action campaign to stop the killing and save the whales.
|
You'll be part of the virtual crew steaming towards Antarctica. More than 3,700 people from around the world have already posted their ideas - now it's your turn!
|
With your help, and the 69 percent of Japanese people who do not support whaling in the Southern Oceans, we can create a campaign that accomplishes the unexpected. This is a positive and productive public debate both in Japan and all over the world.
|
We are not blaming the Japanese people for whaling. More than 60 percent of them have not eaten whale meat since childhood. The demand is so low nowadays in Japan, that nearly five thousand tons of whale meat, brought back from previous Southern Ocean hunts, are now stacked, frozen and left unused in storage factories.
|
|
We need the whole world to stand up for whales and against the Japanese government's policy of killing them, so we can win back a majority of votes at the International Whaling Commission when it meets in May in Alaska.
|
You've seen what we have done in the past, now we want to hear from you. You are designing the direct action. Tell us what you would do. Post some images or even a small video. Get your friends involved, vote for your favorite ideas, comment to improve them
