Campagne pour les phoques et les baleines

[Animal 0]

Dear Colleagues



The seal hunt it's about to start here in Canada this week. Probably on the 26th - 28th of March.



These new campaigns are only for the heads of organizations to send snail mail letters (NO E-MAIL please), asking the Ministers of Environment for the ban of all Canadian seal products and Campaign 1 is for the whales.



Please, DO NOT send this to your e-mail lists. But please, re-send only to other heads of other orgs.

Pls. send only one snail mail letter to each country (except for Poland) from your organization / group.





Campaign 1

Please write to the Minister of Environment ASAP and urge them to send a Polish Delegation

to the next International Whaling Commission in Santiago, Chile, in May-June 2008.



It is crucial that Poland join the IWC, because already most of the Central and Eastern European

countries are members, because the whales are common to the international seas and in the

interest of nature, they should support the protection and conservation of the whales.
