Dear Peter,
I understand you or a representative from your department was and will be negotiating a proposal at a IWC meeting in Rome to allow japan to recommence commercial whaling off its shore in exchange for a strange sort of reduction in its illegal whaling activities in the Antarctic. Please do not compromise and back down on whaling. They have no rights to kill whales full stop. If they want to pull out of the IWC over them not getting their way , so be it. We/ the world owe them nothing. If they do pull out they become even more obvious as a renegade nation and you can use all the evidence you collected to challenge them in the ICJ or ICOS or Antarctic treaty.
Im sure you are aware that over the last few days Japan has been throwing metal objects and using military grade weapons against the Steve Irwin conservation vessel and it has become a very serious matter. Please remember that Sea Shepherd have a helicopter pilot and crew operating in dangerous conditions. The Japanese are using a military grade weapon system that sends out high frequency sound waves designed to disorient and possibly incapacitate personnel. Both the persons onboard the Zodiac vessels and the helicopter pilot are in extreme danger of losing their lives from these weapons... ..The Japanese are acting out of accordance with international law by deploying military weapons in the Antarctic Treaty Zone, breaking international laws.
Please do the right thing, to protect our brave AUstralians down there trying to save the lives of the whales from the illegal actions of the Japanese... .We are requesting Australia send a Naval ship or coast guard to protect peaceful protesters. I would also like you to ask/demand the Japanese to stop this dangerous and illegal practice and stop killing whales.
O yeah. You can see the interview you did with me at the IWC at my http://www.planetearthinternettv.com

Sea Shepherd, Paul Watson prepare Steve Irwin for Antarctic
Ben Potts From Bangalow will be sailing on the Sea Shepherd ship the Steve Irwin to the Antarctic to try to stop the Japanese killing over 900 minke and 50 Fin whales. Potts was one of the 2 Sea Shepherd crew that jumped onto a Japanese whaling ship in the southern oceans earlier this year. He was held for 3 days before being release to the Australian customs ship.
Dean Jefferys and Howie Cooke visited the Ben Potts onboard the Sea Shepherd ship, Steve Irwin. The Sea Shepherd are off to the Antarctic to try to stop the Japanese killing over 900 minke and 50 Fin whales.
Dean Jefferys and Howie Cooke also visited the Japanese consulate in Brisbane (for the 9th time) to have a meeting with the deputy consulate to informed him of the campaign to Boycott Japanese Products if Japan continues to kill whales.
I caught up with the Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson at a fund raiser and asked him a few questions

Whale conservation representatives call for Boycott of Japanese Products
Dean Jefferys and Howie Cooke visited the Japanese consulate in Brisbane (for the 9th time) to have a meeting with the deputy consulate to informed him of the campaign to Boycott Japanese Products if Japan continues to kill whales.
see media release below
MEDIA RELEASE: 27.11.2008
Whale conservation representatives call for Boycott of Japanese Products
Whale conservation representatives will meet with the Japanese Consulate in Brisbane on Friday 28th Nov to seek an end to the annual Japanese whale kill in the Antarctic and to inform them of an International campaign to Boycott Japanese Products if Japan continues to kill whales.
Dean Jefferys and Howie Cooke from the Byron Whale Action Group will deliver 992 anti whaling signatures to the Japanese consulate on the ground floor of Comalco Place, 12 Creek St, Brisbane at 2pm, along with a letter demanding Japan stop killing whales immediately in the Southern Whale Sanctuary. Jefferys and Cooke also plan to hand deliver a message to the head offices of Japanese companies in Brisbane to inform them of the boycott campaign if whaling continues.
Jefferys said, " I can't understand why Japan is prepared to keep killing these majestic defenseless whales despite a tsunami of world public opinion against them. Japan is disgracing itself internationally to satisfy the desires of a corrupt and powerful few within the Japanese fishing industry. This is why we are now are calling for consumers around the world to boycott Japanese products and services to pressure Japan to stop this barbaric practice. Maybe the CEOs of the big Japanese companies will start to lobby the Japanese Prime Minister on our behalf when they start loosing millions of dollars in sales and Japan looses millions of dollars in tax revenue due to an international boycott campaign." Jefferys said "We now have a Federal court ruling declaring Japanese whaling in Australian Antarctic waters is illegal yet the Australian Government doesn't want to enforce the injunction. We are running out of options to save the whales. If the Government were serious about stopping the Japanese killing more whales then it would take Japan to the international court as Environment Minister Peter Garrett said he would before the last election. Labor should instruct Japan not to kill whales in Australian Antarctic waters and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary or it will carry out its promise and take Japan to the international court. Japanese Whaling fleet is currently heading to the Antarctic and plans to kill over 1000 whales, including many that are pregnant, in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary under the guise of 'scientific' whaling. This kill includes 50 endangered fin whales and over 1000 minke whales. Although international pressure forced the Japanese to say they would not kill humpbacks this season they have said they will start killing them as early as December 2009. These are the very whales that hundreds of thousands of people enjoy every year during their annual migration past our shores and one of the main species that supports our $300 million whale watching industry.
Howie Cooke who recently returned from a dolphin slaughter protest in Taiji Japan said "Surfers, divers and sailors experience the wonderment of the ocean and know the joy of being welcomed by the marine mammals. We cannot stand by and watch Japan slaughter thousands of innocent whales and dolphins from the Japanese waters and the north pacific all the way into the pristine wilderness of the Antarctic southern ocean whale sanctuary. Japan must hear and respect world opinion and give up their untenable bloody and cruel acts of genocide, killing and capture, against the whale and dolphin nations. We will continue to defend the right to freedom and peace of whales and dolphins, our fellow surfers and joyful friends of the ocean".
The Sea Shepherd conservation organization in their ship the Steve Irwin is currently preparing to depart their Brisbane river dock this Sunday 30th, to intercept and intervene against the Japanese whaling fleet that is currently on its way to the Antarctic. Jefferys and Cooke support the Sea Shepherds strategy of sinking the Japanese, economically, if they continue to kill whales. While the Sea Shepherds are stopping the Japanese fleet killing whales and costing Japan a packet in the Antarctic, consumers around the world can use their consumer power to help bring about an end to whaling.
