dolphins
Dear
Mr
With reference to your
message on the killing of dolphins on the northern coast of Brazil,
please find information on the case released by IBAMA below, which,
I hope you may find useful.
‘Officials from the
Brazilian government environmental agency, IBAMA, already have
information that enables them to identify the boats and fishermen
that appeared in video footage showing the deliberate killing of
dolphins off the northern coast of Brazil. Once the identity of
those involved has been confirmed, they will be subject to
appropriate sanctions.
The killing of dolphins
was discovered by IBAMA researchers carrying out a study of fishing
in the region. The video footage was broadcast yesterday on
Brazil's main television network, TV Globo, and has also received
coverage in the foreign media.
To avoid the recurrence
of such incidents, IBAMA has drafted regulations that will create
fishing exclusion zones around any area containing large numbers of
dolphins.
The draft regulations
are currently being analysed by IBAMA's legal advisers, and should
enter into force in the coming days.’
Kind
regards,
Maria Angelica
Ikeda

Dear
Sirs,
Cetacea
Defence is a UK based cetacean protection organisation. We are
appalled and saddened to learn of the recent murders of 83
dolphins by Brazilian fishermen, filmed by Ibama an
environmental protection agency in your country.
Please
insure the guilty men ( for it is usually men) are found and
charged with this crime against dolphins and nature. If they are
not it will undoubtedly harm the tourist industry of Brazil ,
as shown on the London web-site, I
quote;
The
spectacular aquatic life in the ocean around Fernando de Noronha,
an archipelago about 200 miles off the coast of northeast Brazil,
makes it one of the best places in the world for scuba diving and
snorkeling. It also offers great surfing and a seductively
laid-back atmosphere
Cetacea
Defence awaits your response with interest. The sad killing of
dolphin life has been posted on
www.cetaceadefence.org
as
will any update from you in regard to this
crime
Yours
truly

Sea Shepherd Whale Defense Campaign 2006-7
Operation
Leviathan
The
history of Sea Shepherd's efforts to defend the whales goes back to
1975 when Captain Watson was 1st Mate on the first Greenpeace
voyage to protect the whales. In June of 1975, Captain Watson and
Robert Hunter became the first people ever to risk their lives to
protect a whale when they placed themselves in a small inflatable
Zodiac to block the deadly harpoons of the Soviet whaling
fleet.
More than thirty years later, Captain Watson and Sea Shepherd are
as committed as ever to protect these intelligent beings from an
illegal and senseless slaughter. We now have over sixty
people of all ages and walks of life, and from all over the world,
who have paid their own way to join the ship and elected to spend
their December holidays away from family and friends to try to save
the precious whales that Japan is illegally targeting - some of
them on the endangered species list.
Please send the below letter to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask
him to stop the killing of whales. Simply type in your contact
information and press the "Send Message" button.
Thank you for your efforts to help save the
whales!

a protest letter:Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
1-6-1 Nagata-cho
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8968 JAPAN
Dear Prime Minister Abe,
As you know, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's ships Farley
Mowat and Robert Hunter are in pursuit of your illegal whaling
vessels in Antarctic waters.
The ships' crew are made up of 60 volunteers representing the
nations of Canada, the United States, Great Britain, France,
Germany, Sweden, Bermuda, Brazil, South Africa, Netherlands, New
Zealand, and Australia.
The organization's mission is to intervene against the outlaw
whaling ships flying the flag of Japan and to expose the cruel and
illegal slaughter of whales in the Southern Whale Sanctuary. Sea
Shepherd acts in accordance with the principles of the U.N. World
Charter for Nature in opposing the commercial slaughter of whales
that Japan pretends is a scientific research study.
Japan is in violation of the International Whaling Commission
moratorium on commercial whaling. Japan is in violation of the
Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild
Flora and Fauna in targeting endangered fin whales this year and
endangered humpback whales next year. Japan is violating the
Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary where whales should be able to live
in peace.
Sea Shepherd and I strongly oppose Japan's unilateral and
aggressive slaughter of the great whales.
I respectfully request that you order the Japanese fleet to leave
the Southern Oceans and to abide by the international conservation
regulations that were designed to protect the whales.
The Sea Shepherd crew is prepared to block your deadly harpoons. I
hope you are fully aware of the consequences that will occur should
a Japanese harpoon strike one of the crew or if they are harmed in
any way as they attempt to shield a whale from the deadly intent of
your outlaw whalers.
Let the whales live, Sir. Please demonstrate compassion and please
advise your countrymen on your killing ships that the whole world
is watching as Sea Shepherd sails forth to intervene to save the
gentle giants of the ocean from your cruel and rapacious
slaughter.
Sincerely,
