Jim Wickens, activista de océanos de Greenpeace, nos informa:

We have uncovered plans that the Korean government is planning to build a whale meat processing factory here, to enable them to process freshly caught whales. What is the purpose of such a facility? It strongly indicates Korea has plans to resume commercial whaling. Why else would you invest in a brand new whale meat factory?

Greenpeace and KFEM have today set up camp on the land where the government is planning to build this factory, establishing a Whale Embassy, to allow us to speak for Korea’s whales that have no voice to protest. It isn’t easy here, camped in the heart of Korea’s pro-whaling past, with a dozen whale and dolphin meat restaurants across the road. You can see some whale meat for sale in the photo below.

We want the Korean government to know that the international community opposes the resumption of whaling in any shape or form and we urgently need your help to do this.

Please help us to speak out for Korea’s whales - become a Whale Ambassador today.

Podemos ayudar simplemente enviando una comunicación al embajador coreano en Ecuador plantéandole nuestra preocupación y pidiéndole al gobierno coreano que:

• Publicamente anuncien que no van a contruir una planta de procesamiento de carne de ballena.
• Terminen con el mercado de carne de ballena en Corea.
• Voten en contra de la caza de ballenas durante la reunión anual de la Intenational Whaling Comission a darse este año en Corea.

Actúa ahora, cada carta enviada hace la diferencia.
