Hello Friends,
They want to kill more whales - a lot more - but we're not going to let them. Japanese whalers have already killed 680 whales in the last few months, all under the ridiculous sham of conducting "research." In less than a month, Japan will come face to face with Greenpeace at the 2009 International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting in Portugal. This is the real battleground to save the whales - where their future ultimately hangs in the balance. But we cannot win a future for the whales without YOU!
Greenpeace urgently need $50,000 to send our top activists and campaigners to Portugal next month to demand an end to Japan's lethal whaling program. With just a $5 or $10 donation YOU can join Greenpeace in ending whaling forever.
Greenpeace launched the world's first anti-whaling campaign in 1975 and, after over a decade of campaigning, Greenpeace convinced the IWC to effectively ban commercial whaling in 1986. But Japan has been abusing a loophole in the ban that allows its whalers to kill hundreds of these amazing defenseless creatures every year for so-called "scientific research." Greenpeace has exposed this as a fraud and we must not allow the slaughter to continue.
This past year, in one of the most significant developments since we won the ban on commercial whaling, Greenpeace disclosed evidence that reveals Japan's research program for what it really is: a large-scale whale meat scam. Even the IWC's Scientific Committee found that Japan has failed to reach a single one of its scientific objectives and has repeatedly asked Japan to end its hunt.
We need your support to save the whales, end the slaughter and defend our oceans - please click now and make as generous a gift as you can.
For the whales,
John Hocevar
Oceans Campaign Director
