SAMPLE: Subject: Question on ICR's reason of whaling.
Why can't you stop whaling?
Researches of EIA and reports of WWF had shown that the mercury level in whale meat is UNSAFE for humans to consume!
Surveys of Greenpeace Japan also shown that only 11% of Japan's population have no regrets of eating whale meat.
Japan is hunting more whales than Japanese can eat!
More over, 14% of Japan's population, together with most EU countries AND USA are AGAINST whaling. This is higher than the percentage who eat whale meat!
So, may I question you about your reason of continuing to hunt whales!?
E-mail George Bush to save the whales!

Whaling report:
* Statistics from EIA (Environmental Investigation Agency) and WDCS show that whale meat contains too much mercury! Therefore unsafe for humans to consume as mercury is highly toxic! http://www.eia-international.org/cgi/reports/reports.cgi?t=template&a=55
Please forward this message to all the Japanese you know, so that they can remain unharmed! (Some whale parts are more than 10 times of Japan's limit!) http://www.eia-international.org/files/reports55-1.pdf reported 24July2006
* An anti-whaling association set up a petition to collect 1million signatures for IWC! Please do help them to archieve that!
(see "game" or "action below!) reported: 18July 2006
* Bad news: In the previous IWC (International Whaling Comission) meeting, Japan had gained great success. Ban lifting of whaling may succeed in the near future. http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=17831
* Bad news: Greenpeace and IFAW members ARRESTED! Without committing any crime. GreenPeace suggested it may be because Japan bribed that country to do so. http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=172559

| WHY YOU NEED TO STOP WHALING:
REASON
NUMBER ONE TO ACT RIGHT NOW: Japan recently announced plans to double
the number of whales it will kill in the next several years, adding two
protected species, fin and humpback whales, to its target list.
REASON
NUMBER TWO WHY YOUR HELP CAN¡¦T WAIT: Japan is on the verge of
destroying more than thirty years of whale conservation by buying its
way to a majority at the International Whaling Commission (IWC),
offering multi-million dollar fisheries grants to economically
developing countries in exchange for pro-whaling votes.
If we
don¡¦t convince the President to use the United States¡¦ resources and
clout far more aggressively to stop whaling now before this occurs ,
then Japan could actually buy its way into a pro-whaling majority at
this month¡¦s IWC ¡V setting an irreversible course that will be certain
disaster for whales.
REASON NUMBER THREE TO SPEAK OUT WHILE
THERE¡¦S STILL TIME: Whales and their ocean habitats already face real
and growing threats from human activities such as ocean noise, global
warming, ship strikes, and entanglement in fishing gear. Killing whales
for profit as part of an illegal whale hunt when such magnificent
animals already face such difficult odds for survival is not only
completely unnecessary, it¡¦s criminal.
