Take Action Now - Stop the Whale Meat Factory!

The Korean government is planning to build a whale meat factory in the city of Ulsan - the first step toward a resumption of whaling.

Take Action Now - Stop the Whale Meat Factory!
http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/ ... tter051305

In response, we established a "Whale Embassy" to spread the word to the local community and force the mayor to cancel his plans. But Korean officials have rolled out the unwelcome wagon, ordering us to vacate our newly-established whale embassy...and fast. They have given us until Monday, May 16 to leave the site. But we're not going anywhere until they scrap their plans to build the whale meat factory.

City officials are not at all happy with us tarnishing their reputation as the "city of whales" with our suggestion that Ulsan is actually heading toward becoming the "city of whaling." Perhaps the name is a reflection of the amount of whales that are "accidentally" caught each year and sold for profit. In 2003, Korea and Japan individually caught more whales by accident than all the fishing fleets in the world combined reported.

There have already been several attempts at intimidation - both official and unofficial - against our activists. We need your help to convince Ulsan's Mayor, Mr. Park Maeng-woo to allow our activists to maintain their non-violent protest and, more importantly, to stop the construction of the whale meat factory. Monday, May 16 is fast approaching, please take action now.

Dear Glenn, 17 May 2005
The Korean government is planning to build a whale meat factory - the first step toward a resumption of whaling.

Take Action Now - Stop the Whale Meat Factory!

In response, we established a "Whale Embassy" to spread the word to the local community and force the mayor to cancel his plans. But Korean officials have rolled out the unwelcome wagon, ordering us to vacate...and fast.

But your pressure has been working! Our whale embassy is still standing, 48 hours after our eviction notice has passed. So far, nearly 7,500 of you have taken action, and Korean authorities are feeling the heat. But so are our whale activists - they're being threatened with violence by local thugs.

The clock is ticking, and we need your help NOW to prove that the world is watching.

If you haven't already taken action, please act now: for the whales and for our valiant whale activists. Then, be sure to forward this e-mail to friends and family.

Please don't let time run out... Take immediate action.

Whales are good and all, but I'd kind of like to save the HUMANS first. Once all the men, women and children are safe and sound, then I'll worry about the sealife and rainforests and wildlife...

Glenn · Post by **Glenn** » Tue May 17, 2005 8:55 am

It's too late for us Kevin. We are already fucked. Save the whales!

assholitis · Post by **assholitis** » Tue May 17, 2005 8:59 am

lol Psh, if that's the case, then where the hell were the whales signing petitions to save us when we still had a chance?! Selfish pricks.

Um, Kev, we kinda have to do both at the same time. If the rainforests and wildlife dies, so do humans.

How do you expect us to save the human race if we can't even keep out animals safe? The environment, including all animals are a reflection of us. The qualifty of our own lives is directly and inderectly affected by how we care for or abuse our environment.

mmmmmm a $6 burger for only $3.95. Delicious.

Were you inspired by the picture of Paris flashing her goods and eating a burger that I posted? Score one for the marketing team.

I though Shatner was going to come from the future and save the whales like in Star Trek 3 (i think). That's why I don't really sweat the whales, they've got that huge get out of jail free card. I think we should offer the Koreans all the people on MySpace, they can process them, and I've seen some "whales" over on MySpace too. Or send them that picture of Paris and they'll forget all about the whales and build Carl's Jr's everywhere. Or someone could tell Dicky and Johnny Angel about it. They always need something to talk about on that show. An aside I saw one of the scariest things I've ever seen. I saw a woman driving a SEMI w/ 2 trailers for dirt driving and talking on a cell phone! The Apocalypse is near - Star Trek, Shatner, Whales, MySpace, Koreans, Paris Hilton, Carl's Jr, Dicky, J. Angel, and women driving semis on cell phones all in the same post!

So much for saving the animals!

assholitis · Post by **assholitis** » Tue May 17, 2005 9:47 am

We need Spock to come down and rescue us from that dumb bitch towing two trailers and yakking on her cell. Or at least, Scotty. By God, can't you at least give us Scotty?

I'm good and happy right now. Just got done viewing my Paris Hilton Carl's Jr pic again. If it doesn't get all over the place...

I thought Sadam was hiding WMD's and his Nuclear Scientist on MySpace, that is how they collaborate. Either that or this spam email I get for "Find an Arabic Lover Today"

obiwankobe · Post by **obiwankobe** » Tue May 17, 2005 9:57 am

Sorry if we're coming of mean. I quit smoking two weeks ago and it was no big deal but I am getting a little ornery it seems. So that's my excuse

assholitis · Post by **assholitis** » Tue May 17, 2005 9:58 am

Yeah, aren't you sick of Saddam asking you to add his crappy emo band to your friend's list?

-Kevin

P.s. Good luck with that, Tom. The Street Teamers support you!
