The Slaughter of an Exhausted Whale Calf 06/01/2006 After refueling inside the Antarctic Treaty area, the Japanese whaling fleet has recommenced the whale hunt and slaughter after 11 days. In that time the fleet has fled over 3,000 nautical miles from the far east of the whaling area to the far west. Greenpeace activists again disrupted the whale hunt on 5 January, enabling many whales to escape.

Consider the following: 'The Japanese whaling operation is in violation of many international laws and regulations, including: * Violating the Southern Ocean Sanctuary. * They are violating the http://www.iwcoffice.org/ International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium on commercial whaling. * They are targeting endangered fin and humpback whales that are protected under the http://www.cites.org/index.html Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. (CITES). * The Japanese are also in violation of the Australian laws protecting the Australian Antarctic Territorial waters. * They are violating the IWC moratorium on the use of factory ships to process any protected stock which includes the whales they are hunting - minke and fin whales.

With Republican George Bush as President we no longer have a leader seeking to positively inspire Americans to greatness, we have a President for the first time seeking to govern by the manipulation of our basest and most irrational fears.
