Please help stop Japanese "Scientific Whaling"
From AAQ


This week the Japanese whaling fleet have resumed killing whales in the
Southern Ocean Whaling Sanctuary, despite monkeywrenching by Greenpeace and
the Sea Shepherd Conservaton Society. Today's new reports that the Japanese
ships are using wter cannon against the protestors who are in inflatable
zodiacs, and that a harpoon was fired at protestors, barely missing them.
Greens Senator was accussed of war mongering when he suggested that the
Australian navy might go to Antartica to protect the protestors from the
whalers. The Japanese whalers and the US government have labelled the
protest activities as 'piracy'.


The International Fund for Animal Welfare is calling for people to write to
the Environment Minsiter Ian Campbell email: [email protected]

They are currently conducting an investigation into whaling practices
following footage shot by Greenpeace showing the inhumane death of a whale
killed this week in Antartica.
