Sealord, a company that supplies canned and fresh fish products to
Australian supermarkets, fast food outlets and restaurants, is directly
linked to Japan's commercial whaling through its parent company Nissui.
Nissui is a major shareholder of the company which owns Japan’s whaling fleet. They also market and sell the whale meat throughout Japan.
Greenpeace Southern Ocean expedition leader Shane Rattenbury said that logistically we couldn't remain in the Southern Ocean any longer, but it wasn't the last time the whalers would hear from us.
“For a month we have dogged, delayed and disrupted the whaling fleet in the sanctuary, and have no doubt that the whalers have fallen far behind in their bid to slaughter 935 minke whales and 10 endangered fin whales," he said.
"We hope that this struggle will inspire people to help us defend whales, so that it goes down in history as the last time the peaceful silence in the sanctuary is broken by the sound of a grenade-tipped harpoon."
Everyone can help us achive this goal by being aware of who funds the whalers and by sending a message to Sealord's headquarters in New Zealand to ask the company to persuade Nissui to end the whale hunt.
