URGENT: WE MUST TAKE STRONG ACTION, NOW !
Dear Honorable Legislator ,
Japan keeps on WHALING DESPITE U.S. OPPOSITION !
Japan has sent six government owned whaling ships to kill
Sperm and Bryde's whales for the first time as well as
Minke whales it has been killing for years.
(please see Reference # 1 ).
The Japanese killing of great whales is similar to its
aggression in World War II invading many of the peaceful
countries and killing millions of people including China and the
United States. The action of the Japanese whaling fleet
seems to be similar to the behavior of Japanese warlords
in its history !
Japan has been killing minke whales nearly 600 each year.
Japan gave up commercial whaling in compliance with
an international moratorium in 1986 but has engaged in
whaling since 1987. They never had the intent to stop killing
great whales ! The world has been concentrating on other
issues "trade", "commercial" especially and completely
ignored Japanese's aggression on the whales.
Sure enough, year after year indulgence, it had
made Japan progressively killing more and bigger whales .
Especially the United States as the leader of the entire world
has been showing weak and soft policies like a "paper tiger"
on this very disturbing and serious issue.
Please let's all urge President Clinton and Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright for the following serious urgent requests :
1: Impose TRADE SANCTIONS against Japanese Whaling
activity immediately without any compromise.
2: Urgently send aircraft carrier to the Northwestern Pacific to stop
Japanese whaling fleets aggression and killing on whales.
Because there is no international police to supervise high sea
illegal activities. To send an aircraft carrier is very urgent
and necessary for such magnitude of large scale pirate whaling.
3: Hold a Conference with all the anti-whaling country's leaders to
form an ANTI-WHALING COMMISSION to protect whales
in the world once for all :
Within the Anti-Whaling Commission it will have many
economic benefits each other and encourage Whale Watching
business which is a much bigger and humane business than
killing the whales for food. Anti-Whaling Commission must have
policing power , for example some anti-whaling ships to counter
IWC's illegal activities and its biased new law
(so called Revised Management Scheme) to allow Japan,
Norway, Iceland, Denmark etc to continue to kill whales .
The anti-whaling ships can be donated from different country's
navy and be maintained by environmental groups , for example
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society etc.....who has numerous
high sea experience to counter the illegal whaling ships.
