We must save the world’s whales & dolphins!

Welcome to our blog and thank you for taking an interest in our advocacy! We are supporting a charity called ‘Campaign Whale’, the aims of this organisation are basically to try and stop whale and dolphin killing and fight for the rights of these animals.

It may be fairly unheard of to eat dolphins or whales here in England, or in fact even have real life contact with them. However, in parts of the world such as Japan and China, mass slaughter occurs daily, hidden in a secret Cove, where the shocking truth can’t reach the naive and misinformed Japanese community. This place was the subject of a brilliant & shocking film called – The Cove: watch it on DVD now!

Our goals are simple: raise awareness. With our issue being one involving the killing of thousands of dolphins daily, the mistreating of dolphins and whales in ‘swim with dolphin programmes’ and the production of whale and dolphin meat distributed on the open market, people feel a great emotional and moral obligation to support us. Our campaign doesn’t involve much persuasion, our campaign involves knowledge and fact, and spreading it to as wider audience as possible. So, we aim to get the message out in as many forms of media as possible. We aim to bring home the shocking truth to a nation living in denial. We aim to get as much support as we possibly can so we can put pressure of the industries behind it all, and help make a change for the animals affected.

We have been in to Torquay town centre handing out leaflets and questionnaires, we have made a petition we will soon hopefully be putting up around school, we are soon to be making posters, and on year 9 advocacy day, we will hopefully be giving talks to primary schools.

We need support, and we need evidence, to prove that it isn’t just us that see the Cove (the place where the dolphins are slaughtered and the water turns red) as morally wrong, so if you happen to come across our petition for Campaign Whale and/or any of our other forms of media, please, show you care and give us your support, we would greatly appreciate it. If you feel strongly about the issue, as we do, please do not hesitate in visiting Campaign Whales website URL: http://www.campaign-whale.org/ and take the next step by donating or helping raise awareness as we are.

Thank you again, for showing an interest in our blog and thanks for reading, we hope we have gained your support in this issue and we hope you will be signing our petitions at the next possible opportunity, before it’s too late. Will you also please take a moment to answer the short questions below.

1. Were you aware of the continuing slaughter of whales & dolphins in some parts of the world before reading our Blog?
2. Have we changed your opinion about this issue – if so how?
3. Would you now be prepared to support campaign whale by signing a petition, making a donation or joining a protest?
