It’s that time of year again… The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society needs your help, more than ever in this financial climate, to save countless whales from the lethal killing machine of the Japanese Whaling Fleet.
Its time for Round Two in the battle to save the endangered whales in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. After a month and a half of chasing the Japanese whaling fleet, we have been forced to return to refuel.
But we need to return South again as soon as possible. Every day we are away, whales die. The whale slaughter lasts for four months and to stop the killing we need the fuel, provisions, and maintenance to keep our ship at sea so that we can keep intervening against their illegal whaling activities.
And to do that we need to refuel and reprovision three times during this campaign.
The good news this year is that fuel and oil costs are down. In fact, it is going to cost us US$90,000 less this year, than last, to fill up our fuel tanks with 200 tons of diesel.
The bad news is that it is still expensive and with the economic downturn internationally, it is more difficult to raise donations. Globally, all nonprofits are suffering.
And thus we need to appeal once again for the funds to enable us to return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to resume our interventions against illegal Japanese whaling activities.
Sea Shepherd are also in need of a varied assortment of equipment and supplies to carry on the protection of the whales in the Southern Ocean…
Here is a “Wish List” and if you can supply any of the items then please do so, as any items at all will help the cause. – Sea Shepherd Wish List
