Greetings from your number 1 fan club-your family!Hope everone will be safe during the next few days and especially in contact with the police.The whale pictures were very, very sad to look at-lets all work together to stop whaling forever. Thank you to you all for your dedication and willingness to fight!
Lots of love

Good work out there - keep it up.

Whilst Ulsan is a very industrial city and has its environmental problems don't mistake the yellow dust for pollution - its the annual yellow dust that gets kicked up in China and brought to both Korea and Japan by the winds and rain.

Hope the rain has cleared and you are all keeping warm, happy and safe! Just a quick note from Christchurch, where we had the first frost.
Lots of love from your family

Hello,

sperm whale meat being taken off the NORWEGIAN market in 2002? Sorry, but that´s a confusion with minke whale products. But that should be of even more interest to whale consumers in Ulsan and other localities in Korea, because they use to eat minke whales.

Good luck,
Johannes (Germany)

Hi Raoni

I dont envy you your surroundings - sounds like hell on earth - you should have stayed on the roof! But good on you for being there and looking out for the whales. Sailed out to Great Barrier last Saturday and saw a whale on the way - won't be able to do that if the whaling nations get their way. Stay safe.
love Eve

Go Ra!

sounds like you're a long way from your trees, in that toxic hell! the office is keeping up with your every move - don't let the whalers get you down!

Keep up the great work over there... the cause is a damn good one - you better head off to Norway after this one, I heard they are back into whaling up there big time, hope it's not true. Keep safe and let those greedy people know we are watching with disgust!! Take care -

Hey Raoni,
Good on you mate!! I get so mad hearing about the ridiculous excuses people come up with for killing whales. They are so blatant that it is really just a finger to the world! If it wasn't for people like you I am sure that there would be no beautiful creatures left in the world.
Hang in there!

Hi there

Just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for being the voice and actions of what a lot of strongly oppose. People like you help the right thing happen. Good luck with everything guys.

Real proud to have a ChCh protester over there fighting the good fight!
I have an honours degree in zoology and can not fathom human disregard for marine life, esp marine mammals. Go hard brother - I love whales but only to look at!

Hi Raoni,

Thankyou for protesting on our behalf for the whales and the environment.We appreciate your efforts and know how important it is to get the word out there and speak up.It takes courage and time and money to do on an individual basis.
Thankyou again

Hello Raoni,
Blessings, I support you in your stance.
Ciao Ian.

i wrote a nice letter to the mayor for you so it should all be sorted.
I told him we are all watching and waiting and that we were not going to let this type of thing go through anymore.
Thanks for being there, Raoni. Because guys like you go to those sites like these and take direct action, we can all feel that we can share in the moment and the struggle. We support you wholeheartedly. we respect you deeply and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
cheers. gary in Whangarei

Kia ora Raoni
Have courage, you're doing so much by simply being there and showing your support. I'm in awe of people like you, who have the guts to go halfway across the world to fight for something they believe in!
Keep up the good work

You are doing a great job over there; my family and I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Greenpeace and people in the 'field' such as yourself Raoni - in all your endeavours...I have supported Greenpeace for over 25 years now and being an immigrant to the "Mainland" from Northland watched the events at Marsden B with interest; I was a kid when it was being built and am an old gal now; New Zealand needs more folks like yourself around to tell the government how it should be...as for the whales...just how many could one country need for it's industry to keep going...the Blues have almost gone.....SAVE THE MINKE...please The Stevensons of Christchurch

Keep up the good work. You are not alone, there are many people who agree with what you are doing so keep on track and know that you are right.

rosie and family.

Stay strong - you are doing the right thing. The whales will thank you in years to come and so will mankind.

hey ra,
great work, nice photo! keep up the humor, will see you on your return!

Hey mate, keep doing what you're doing, and hopefully the idiots over there will see the light in the not too distant future.
Nice one.

kia ora Raoni, kia kaha bro. wish you all the best in your pursuits. we need more people that get off their arse's and stick up for what really matters, the whenua and her tamariki....Che

Hey Ra~!
As a Korean living in New Zealand, I cant help noticing what a wonderful work you are doing there~! The whales in Korea loves you~! We love you~! all the Kowi whale lovers got ya back~! Keep up the good work~! Take care~!

Dear Raoni,
Thank you for your contirbution to rethinking conflicts between desire and interest.

Hello Raoni -

We are Americans who lived in NZ last year and subscribed to Greenpeace NZ while there. We are now back in the States, but follow what is going on in NZ as we so dearly love it. I am so happy to know that we have brothers and sisters fighting to save the planet on all sides of the earth. We are with you in spirit and are so grateful for the work you are doing on behalf of all living creatures. If you ever want to come to the States, you have a place to stay in both San Fran (Greenpeace central!) and Boulder Colorado. That is a genuine invitation.

Be well!
Dionne Deschenne

I admire your work. At least some people care. But it is more: you even do something about it. Most of us can't do ( of won't do ) anything.
I wish you luck and take care. Zsuzsa

Ki ora Raoni,
Greetings from a wintry Fiordland! Our hearts are with you and pray keep Greenpeace people safe in their fight to help stop butchering of Whales.

Hey there
Keep up the good work and may the 'force' be with you all. It is time for us all to take a stand to protect our planet.
All the very best.

Thank you for your sterling efforts!
I admire that and wish I had the courage etc.

Keep up the good work Raoni. Thank you for being there for us.

Hi Roani
Thanks for your courage. You are such an inspiration to others, actually DOING what many of us think about. As a mother with small children I both care deeply about the future of this planet and am restricted in the areas I can be supportive about this. Thank you so much for being the person who actually can follow through for the rest of us in actions which will make a difference.

Rosanne

Hi

I hope it's all going to plan. Thanks for doing your bit to protect those fab creatures. It takes real guts to do what you're doing.

Take Care

Heidi - UK

Kia ora Raoni,
Many here in the village at Ruakaka will never forget the 'Greenpeace people'who came to help us highlight our cause.It is the least we can do, to support and bear witness alongside you,at the awful plight of the whales in that area.Remind them over there, Raoni,that like them, we too tell stories to our grandchildren,of people from faraway places and the things they do.And let there be no doubt we will tell it all!Stay well Raoni,
Celia.

Hi!Raoni, Hang on in there, many people are supporting you through Green Peace. Take care and every good wish for a satisfactiry outcome, Barbara

More of the same ... thanks for caring about these precious animals! All the best.

Hi Raoni!

THANK YOU!!!
Sending you a big warm hug from the Bay of Islands. Whenever you need it.
Hang on in there, we are thinking of you!

Take care above all.

Monika

Hi
I admire your courage and your commitment, it is people like you who inspire the rest of us. I hope it all goes well and good luck.

Sounds like you won't be getting so pink and sunburnt at the whale dome Raoni! I really enjoy reading your eloquent and inspiring words. I like the way Greenpeace is doing work to save whales - not only from commercial hunting, but from stopping bottom trawlers killing life in the deep sea where some whales feed. Not to mention campaigning on global warming which is completely changing the ocean food chain (eg the population crash of krill - more whale food) last year in the Antarctic.
Thanks again for putting your butt on the line.

Kia kaha

Hello Raoni

Its great to see you out there helping save the earth and it's lovely creatures. I believe more emphasis should be displayed in the media on how important the environment and the lives on the earth are...Earth and the other living creatures can not speak for themselves and so it is our job as humans to do that for them, so it's great to see your doing a good job!!Good luck,
Bex

God Bless the mission you have courageously undertaken. I commend you on your conviction and dedication to walking the walk. Good luck and know you may be there in small numbers but our spirits are with you and God is always close on such matters. Save the whales! Ka pai nui

Kia kaha Raoni!!

Sorry if this is too late but hopefully you guys will come to a happy resolution for the whales today. I admire what you people do... so many people feel that they can't do anything about things that are wrong today and then there are others like yourselves who give us all hope and inspire us to have a care and do something positive. You rock! All the best.

Andy.

wow...the world is a crazy, unforgiving place at the moment, thank god there are people like yourself who are willing to try to even out the badness....there are a lot of people out there who have no idea of the senseless money grabbing politics that go on...awareness will prevail and the good will succeed..good luck

Hi Raoni - thank goodness for people like you who are prepared to speak up for those who can't!! Thank you for doing what a lot of us wish we had the courage to do - the whales need your voice. Good luck!!

mate your doing a good job, glad to see your getting out there and trying to make a difference.
will hope to be seeing soon, im back in nz in sept

Greetings Raoni and Thank You so much for putting yourself out there and on the line. I've got a candle lit for you. Saludos.

Just got the messages on email. Sorry I'm late. Hope things have gone a touch positive for you and especially for those in Korea trying to turn around this plant. Clearly an attitude change is required if Korea still has whales showing above restaurants. Come on Korea, join the world and protect all the creatures we share this planet with!
Hang in there team and thanks for being there for those of us who can't - this time.

KEEP ON GOIN AND NEVER GIVE UP AND THANKYOU.
Sharon and family

Hi everybody. Nice try. Love your commitment. But are whales only endangered by hunting? What about pollution of the sea by industrial waste and shipping? What about the radars of war ships etc.? If the people who are currently hunting whales would stop doing so, would they be save?

What about a whale embassy in the main ports of the industrialized countries? Wuold that be possible? Demonstrating for the rights of the whales. Well I would come.

Good on you bro don't let them get away with it

Dear Raoni, Side-dish,
and all Yous-guys at the Dome Home Embassy,

Mate, you’re all doing an excellent job! I’m really glad you’re all there.

It’s been great reading about your experiences, and how you’ve been working together with each other, and with the Koreans there who are into it, or who are starting to get into it. Ka mau te wehi! (Awesome!)

I loved reading about the lady’s offer to do your washing. Glad you're getting some of that real genuine Korean good-vibe support. Sweet, huh?

Kia kaha tonu koutou i roto i ou koutou mahi ataahua katoa.

Hi Raoni,

Only just got forwarded your email. Hope all is well with you and the others with you.

I truly admire your work and =dedication to helping save the whales that we are so priviledged to share our planet with.

Thank you for doing what I only think about.

I'll be in the virtual march once I work out how. My friend Ana will teach me how. I am barely computer literate but getting better all the time.

Stay well.

Maureen.

If was'nt for people like yourself the world would become a tip! Y can't people realise the importance of these issues..., I guess they're only concerned with here an now an not thier grandkids kids kids............
