Dear List Members I
apologise in advance for being slightly off topic but I feel this particular
subject may be important enough to warrant making an exception to the rule. This
Australian Summer the Japanese will be commercially whaling again under the
guise of scientific research. Not only are they defying international
conventions they will also be for the first time hunting 50 humpbacks and
putting at risk not only the recovery of this species numbers but a 300 million
dollar whale watching industry here in Australia and places like Tonga. In a
further demonstration of their arrogance they will be targeting Mingaloo, the
only white Humpback Whale because his meat would bring a premium price as a
result of its ‘novelty value’. 96%
of Australians strongly disagree with this practice continuing. Nearly 70% of
Australians would support the use of the Australian Navy to stop the practice
and be prepared to suffer the economic consequences associated with upsetting
the Japanese. Unfortunately the Australian Government does not have the courage
to take action and the Japanese seem immune to diplomatic pressure. Again
it looks like it will come down to individual efforts to stop this practice. It
is vital the Australian public is supported buy the public in the USand Europe if the Japanese are to be stopped. What
can you do? Stop
buying Japanese products and let the company know why! I replace my business
vehicles every 4 years. Two days ago I informed my Toyota Dealer that I will
not be replacing my Landcruiser with a Japanese vehicle and stated why. They
are very concerned that this attitude might catch on and have notified their
corporate HQ from which I have received an email suggesting they are an
innocent party and I should reconsider. I have had a relationship with my
Toyota Dealer since 94. It is vital that the company know why you are refusing
to buy their products. Even if you are not purchasing in the near future let
them know why you will not be purchasing again. Maybe if large Japanese corporations
suffer financially and pressure the Japanese Government they might take notice. Write
to any politician that will listen! Combined US, Canadian, EU and Australian
pressure may succeed! Thank
you for reading this email and I hope you can assist in ending this practice
once and for all. Regards Steve
