Japanese police have arrested two Greenpeace activists for exposing a whale meat scandal involving the government-sponsored whaling programme. The two activists, Junichi Sato, 31, and Toru Suzuki, 41, are being investigated for allegedly stealing a box of whale meat which they presented as evidence.
At a hearing this morning, the "Tokyo Two" have been ordered held another ten days without charge. We are appealing that decision tomorrow. In the meantime, our lawyer believes that the number of people who have written demanding their release -- nearly 50,000 at this writing -- could help their case considerably. Please, if you have not already, take action and encourage others to do so as well: http://www.greenpeace.org/tokyo-two
This year the Fisheries Agency of Japan plans to kill 50 humpback whales on top of 50 fin whales and up to 935 minke whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
Just when I thought that Iceland might actually stop whaling altogether they go ahead an announce that they will hunt whales commerically! Their new plans include slaughtering 9 endangered fin whales this year!
I feel sick to stomach just thinking about it.
Please take the Iceland Whales Pledge to show the Iceland Government how you feel. It only takes a few minutes.
