WHALING..JAPAN AND NORWAY STILL MAKING A KILLING!
"If whales could scream the industry would stop, for nobody would be able
to stand it"
An explosive harpoon is fired into the whale's body where it detonates
causing massive internal injuries from the passage of shrapnel through the
vital organs. The struggling animal is then winched toward the catcher ship
by a cable attached to the harpoon trailing from deep within the gaping
wound in its body. Sometimes more than one harpoon is used and the whale
may be shot several times with a rifle, even electrocuted, to finally kill
it. Times to death can vary from a few minutes to up to one hour.
In 1998, Norway and Japan slaughtered over a thousand whales just like
this. Next year they plan to kill even more...
Campaign Whale is a new organisation set up by a former Greenpeace
campaigner that is determined to stop this cruel slaughter once and for
all. With your help, Campaign Whale will reactivate a public and political
campaign for a permanent ban on commercial whaling, increasing pressure on
governments to make it stick.
