Subject: Seal Alert-SA the next decade, Good and Evil, Light and Dark !
Date: March 21, 2008
Dear All Cape Fur Seal Supporters,
Good and Evil, Light and
Dark
As I see it. The
centre of our existence is our evolution around the sun. In
this continual spinning, will come light and dark on the
planet. Early civilizations portrayed these natural daily
cycles with mystical figures of good and evil. Good being
the sun, with all its life giving qualities and evil, being
the darkness as the sun set.
This is as clear as it
gets.
Over the past decade,
I have chosen to become more seal than man. It has always
profoundly disturbed me, why some individuals,
organizations and governments support the dark side, the
evil side, onto Cape fur seals, in this particular
instance. Where does it come from, and how does one
challenge it?
Personally, I cannot
wait to go down to the seals each morning, as just being
around them fills my life with such joy and goodness,
watching them be them.
If two concessionaires
(sealers) with rights granted by government where to go in
sealers residential dwellings and club and stab their
infants, due to the over-population of this town or the
future impact this off-spring would have on the economy or
that it creates clubbing jobs, as its motive. We would be
mad for allowing it. So, why does the government not only
allow, support but defend, such evil practices on seals?
The only plausible
answer, the Dark side.
It is correct for evil
to flourish, good men and women need to do nothing. But,
what is the solution? A Namibian sealer once remarked, the
moment these Seal Anti-hunt groups start going off in the
media, his phone does not stop ringing with new orders.
It's true. After four decades of Anti-Seal hunt protests,
the quotas have doubled and the multi-million dollar
international Anti-Seal hunt ngo's, have resorted
to media-rising this evil.
I do not see this as a
solution. Nor, do I wish to be part of raising funds off
dying seal's plight. It is as exploitative as the sealers
themselves.
One of the most viewed
clips on youtube, is that titled the Battle Of Kruger, the
attempted predation of lions on a buffalo calf. Within a
year, 68 million people had viewed this 8 minute videoclip.
Another of a Panda cub sneezing which frightened its
mother, although only a minute, drew 7 million viewers.
Perhaps therefore the way to
fight evil. Is to simple ignore it. Perhaps this explains
why we still work in the day and sleep away the night.
It is Seal Alert-SA's
intention to focus on the light, the good, the warmth of
the sun. Just like, after the sun sets, darkness comes. I
will accept that evil comes, but I will not lay down or do
nothing. Instead, over the coming weeks, I will be moving
my centre of rescue and rehabilitation of seals back to the
two floating rafts and catamaran. Seals must at all times
be free. Which will have a sheltered cave for the baby
seals from the elements, an on-board splash poll, shared by
the rest of the Seal Alert-SA's 25-50 seal colony.
Each aspect of my work with
these seals will be video-taped 24-7, every day of the
year. Rain, storms and in sunshine. With 4, 24-hour
CCTV security camera's, underwater camera, head-cam,
night-vision camera and hand-held live action camera.
During the course of each week, I will edit into a short
video-clip the most amazing images you will ever see,
weekly released on youtube in 1 - 6 minute short
video clips, for you to share and enjoy. This will be
an experience, never before seen. An amazing look into the
life of Seals, during rehab, during rescue, at sea,
underwater and on the open ocean.
I know you will be hooked,
and eagerly await the next week's release.
But, for evil not to
flourish, good people such as yourselves need to do
something as well. Firstly, in the case of Namibia and its
slaughter of seals. Do nothing, ignore Namibia completely.
Do not go there, or buy anything Namibian's and use every
opportunity to denounce this country. After all my
high-level meetings presenting the various facts and
reasons to end sealing, with government, Prime Minister's,
Minister's and scientists and various articles in the
media, the thing that really upset these evil doers, the
most, is the
www.boycottnamibia.co.za website.
An instrument so simple, government even tried to have it
internationally removed.
Clearly evil hates being
ignored.
Secondly, I ask if you can
do two further pro-active things. 1. Do not bother to send
me emails, its time consuming and rather spend the time
enjoying life and the great outdoors. 2. Watch the weekly
short youtube video clips, share it amongst friends and
family, and if you find it truly sensational, pop some cash
in an envelop and send it to me. Which, if likened and
viewed by many, should provide a world of opportunities to
truly help these seals positively, forever and into the
future. And don't forget to send me your email address, so
that I can inform you of the link to the next weekly seal
videoclip.
My postal address is. Seal
Alert-SA, Box 221, Postnet, Hout Bay, 7806, South Africa.
PS - Within the next 4 weeks, the first clip will be ready.
Excited as ever, for the Seals
