Respect for the Gentle Giants of the ocean.
Respect for the Gentle Giants of the ocean.
Saturday December 15th 10am to 4pm
Frank Kitts Park - Wellington
The project is to reduce scientific whaling in the Southern Oceans. The challenge is to understand the Japanese position and work within those parameters to influence their decision to reduce and ultimately stop whaling.
This year the Japanese whaling fleet intends to kill
• 935 Minke whales,
• 50 endangered Fin whales. The Fin whale is the second largest animal ever to live on earth.
• 50 Humpback whales. This is the first year the Humpback will be included.
This is a total of 1035 whales and is four times the number taken last year.
The project will send a message to the people of Japan that is not anti-Japanese and that will respect the Japanese culture. The current approach of protests and petitions is not working and a different way needs to be found.
The project will understand the Japanese position and influence their decision through:
• Highlighting the impact that whaling has on their international reputation.
• Highlighting what the justification of “scientific whaling” has on Japan’s credibility.
• Understanding that whales are not like other animals to be harvested like cattle or fish.
The open day will provide a profile on what is happening with the expanded cull this year. It will also acknowledge, celebrate and show respect to the gentle giants of the sea.
