Whales in New Delhi - India
Posted by Dave (in Anchorage, Alaska)
A couple of days ago, activists, along with a big inflatable whale (Flo's cousin?) visited the Japanese embassy in New Delhi, India, with the messaged "We Love Japan, not Whaling".
The activists also delivered a message to Japan's ambassador to India, H. E. Mr. Yasukuni Enoki, urging his government to put an end to whaling - whether it's 'scientific' or commercial.
"Our message to the Japanese government is simple. Whaling in the Southern Ocean sanctuary is illegal, unethical and senseless, and it has to stop. We love Japan and its rich and vibrant culture, but we strongly oppose whaling. This is an obsolete, cruel and unnecessary practice which is not supported by 2/3rd of the Japanese people, that threatens some of the most enigmatic and beautiful creatures on the planet."
If you want to add to the chorus of whale defenders worldwide, join the Big Blue March May 27th. Wear something blue!
