The War to Save the World's Whales and Dolphins is Getting Tougher - And this means Sea Shepherd needs to get stronger
The War to Save the World's Whales and Dolphins is Getting Tougher
And this means Sea Shepherd needs to get stronger.
Today Japan declared an illegal war against the whales of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
Japan intends to ignore both the verdict of the International Court of Justice and the International Whaling Commission. They intend to once again invade the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to kill whales.
The four largest whale killing nations are Iceland, Norway, Japan and Denmark.
Consider this: There are 7 billion people in the world and there is only one small group with limited resources on the front lines in Taiji, Japan, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and in the Southern Ocean and that is Sea Shepherd.
There is not a peep out of any of the large conservation organizations about whaling or dolphin killing. They never set foot on the ground in Taiji, in the Faroes, in Greenland nor do they sail to the Southern Ocean. And they are not in Iceland nor are they in Norway.
Sea Shepherd is not even an organization but rather a global movement of volunteers very much aware of the urgency for protections for life in our oceans.
Today Japan threw down the gauntlet and told the entire world to get lost. They said they will do what they want, where they wish, when they wish and to hell with the rest of the planet.
Sea Shepherd needs to get stronger and we need to do it without spending money on direct mail solicitation or hiring people to prowl the streets begging for money.
Growing by word of mouth and reaching the ears of people who are passionately concerned about protecting life on our oceans and on our planets.
It is not for us to go to people to beg for support. It is up to people to come to us, to this movement to defend our Ocean with their support, be that support financial, material or their own time and skills.
Sea Shepherd exists to represent the real interests of our clients and our clients are the myriad of species from plankton to the great whales that dwell in the sea.
And it is to represent all future generations of humanity so that our own species will survive because the truth is that if the Ocean dies, we all die.
It does not get more real, more serious or more urgent than this.
Who are the Sea Shepherds? It is the nearly 100 volunteers in the Faroe Islands right now and the hundreds that have participated over the summer at their own cost and on their own time. It is the hundreds of volunteers who have traveled to Taiji on their own dime and time, it is the hundreds of volunteers from around the world who have voyaged to the Southern Ocean, who are presently onboard Sea Shepherd ships in the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.
With salt spray in their eyes, sand between their toes and the animosity of enraged killers screaming in their faces.
Passionate, courageous defenders of life in our Ocean who do what they do not for glory, and not for money, but because they love this planet, they love our Ocean and they love the life that swims within it and flies above it.
This is a movement that needs to grow and needs to become even more effective than we have been because the challenges will only become greater the the risks even more daunting.
Our message to the Japan is this: - abide by international law or deal with Sea Shepherd on the high seas if you decide to let loose your mad-dog outlaw whalers into an internationally established sanctuary for whales.
