Nations urge Japan to stop whaling

The Advertiser: Nations urge Japan to stop whaling :

"The 17 anti-whaling nations – Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK – have all signed a formal letter urging Japan to end its whaling activities."

Thank heavens for that. A united voice. Better late than never. This situation really needs to be resolved, especially with regard to respecting a sanctuary. It's a shame we could not have upheld our policy earlier, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they were spending the time negotiating with the other countries to determine the best course of action...meanwhile, Greenpeace has been trying to save the whales . They have our heartfelt support and thanks.
