Dear ASHTAR COMMAND CREW MEMBERS AND ALL VIEWERS,
Right now, the Japanese whaling fleet is barrelling south to hunt thousands of majestic whales, escorted by a 30 million dollar security force paid for out of the tsunami disaster relief fund!
Anti-whaling champions were successfully blocking the Japanese whale hunt -- which is exactly why the Japanese government decided to swipe money from relief efforts to stop the activists from bothering the boats while they engage in their brutal slaughter.
If we can stop the whaling security and get the relief money back for desperate Japanese citizens still languishing in radioactive hotspots, we could help end the whale hunt for good. Japanese PM Noda is already under enormous pressure after scandalous failures to compensate victims of the nuclear disaster. A massive global outcry can spark outrage inside and outside Japan and force Noda to use precious relief funds to save people, not kill whales - sign the petition and forward to everyone:

Whale hunting is astronomically expensive, and it's made possible by ludicrous government subsidies amounting to $35,000 per whale! If these subsidies are cut back, the whaling industry could collapse. Now the Prime Minister will squander $30 million to provide private security for whale slaughterers to make sure they’re not bothered by environmental activists in the ocean. With the added muscle, Japan plans to kill 1,000 Minke whales for commercial meat sales this year.
Officials claim that whaling subsidies will support coastal communities hit by the tsunami -- even though Japan has had to stockpile whale meat because so few people wish to consume it. All the while, the government has turned a blind eye to victims trapped in radiation hot-spots, with the few who are entitled to compensation pocketing a pitiful $1,000.
Let's urge Prime Minister Noda to stop caving to the whaling lobby and spend relief money on the people who need it most: the victims -- sign the urgent petition now, and forward widely:

Last year, our community came together in record numbers, and we won the fight to keep a global ban on whaling. And last month, 130,000 Japanese Avaaz members joined together, pressing the government to use tsunami relief funds to protect radiation-exposed children by funding their evacuation from unsafe areas. Time and again we see how powerful lobby groups like the Japanese whaling lobby put profits before people and planet. And time and again, we stop them. Let's do it again.
With hope and determination,
Ravinder, Stephanie, Jamie, Emma, Ricken, Morgan, Laura, Wissam, Wen-Hua and the rest of the Avaaz team

My Opinion: I thought after the Tsunami Japanese had learnt their lesson to be good to Nature and all Living Entities BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS and if they do not start behaving ALL OF JAPAN WILL SINK UNDERWATER AS PREDICTED

If i just can buy a battleship i will take down every fisherman ship!I swear!
Yes John i agree with you for if they can be so cruel to kill..cold blood murder...butcher the whales then they do not deserve to live on this Planet...these bastards should be shot...i have no sympathy for them .
Remember those who eat whales or sell their flesh are also guilty and will get a very bad karmic reaction
I'am sorry about that but we must do something.And this is the pace fully way do it.I singed up the tp the petition myself i'am just hope this will help them.But also if i buy a battleship i would avoid to kill fisherman...:-)
This is not something new; it’s been happening for hundreds of year’s maybe thousands who would know for sure. They should have given the money to the fishermen to buy them out of doing this from now on and not fish whales or dolphins any more. Education is key I think, maybe they not what they do? I almost refrained from posting this because it’s controversial. But if we educate the people and I’m sure it is to happen soon there will be no more killing of ANY soul. I hope it’s sooner rather than later. Your doing the right thing ravinder that’s for sure the more people that cry out about it the sooner it will stop.
Thank you for sharing
Merry Christmas to all
Love and Light
This is happening..
NOW in our lifetime
NOW on Planet Earth and it is our duty
NOW to stop this killing of Whales
Please unite NOW and take action against the evil Japs involved and our action can save not only the killing of whales but could also save Japan from sinking completely as predicted.
SEND WHITE LIGHT TO THE WALES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS
You are so right Ravinder. I am sending white light to the wales and those who support them. This is a tragedy and the fact that relief fund money was used for this killing is such a travesty. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
I, Ravinder Singh, send my light to unite all species of man, to open up their minds, to quell their desire for violence, and to help them accept their place in this universe as a developing planet among those advanced enough to enjoy the supreme knowledge and serenity that flows like a universal ocean, bringing all beings together as one, in love and pure radiant light.
Killing of Whales, Dolphins and other living entities should not be allowed ...WE AS LIGHTWORKERS SHOULD TAKE ACTION ....how are we going to move to 5th Dimension if this cold blooded killings by savages is not stopped
..its not ridiculous... its the reality of our situation...
i regret that i send 1 Euro through sms from my mobile phone back then to the tsunami victims... but as they say, "my later knowledge, i wish to have had u before"...
