But how will Santa find us? | Home | Philster's account of Day 2

You sure have the sorrow to witness how many whales were catched, but who can say how many you have saved ? How many whales are free in the wild due to all your efforts, you rainbow warriors ?
Those hunters knows you'll be on the way, and there is nothing they can do against that. They belong to history and are lingering for a while in the present, but you're going for present and future. Whaling has no future, you will win.
My very very best wishes to you, and all my admiration.

So right, the future is on our side. Whale meat is not even popular in Japan these days. This is a thirty year old struggle that I feel we can soon put to rest, and thanks to a global network of support, we are lucky enough to be down here, taking action directly. The biggest impact comes from consumer's and voters around the world though. To this end, we've joined with the Humane Society and the Environmental Investigation Agency to expose links between products on supermarket shelves all over the world, and the whaling industry. For now, we are focusing on Gorton's in the US. If their customers make enough noise, they'll have the leverage to compel their parent company back in Japan to end the Antarctic hunt for good.

We'll highlight more companies soon, and everyone should register as an Ocean Defender for updates and calls to action.

Happy holidays.
