Now Obama is going after Creatures of the Ocean!!

Tweet

Not content with attempting to destroy our life in America now he wants to destroy life in the Oceans. Is there no end to this man's broken promises? At least the whales will not have tea parties. Any thoughts on how they could rebel?? After three years of backroom negotiations and closed-door meetings, a secret deal has emerged that would re-start the cruel commercial slaughter of our ocean's great whales. One of the environmental movement's greatest achievements - about to be harpooned for the sake of profits and politics. So who's behind this secret deal? Well you won't be surprised by some of the usual suspects - Japan, Norway, and Iceland - as they never stopped killing whales despite the 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling. What might shock you, however, is that a major player in these negotiations is the United States! That's right, the same country that for decades has led the international fight to stop the cruel and unnecessary commercial slaughter of whales...whose president promised to be a leader on wildlife protections...is now behind the deal that would reintroduce commercial whaling. In fact, four out of the last five closed-door meetings that produced this plan have been held on American soil. This is a deal that was literally "made in the USA!" Since President Reagan first championed passage of the international ban on commercial whaling in 1986, every American president has reasserted our nation's strong leadership role in the fight to save whales. [b]But now - on President Obama's watch - the United States is about to support a plan that will reintroduce legalized commercial whaling - this despite his campaign assurances that he would strengthen protections for whales. [/b] [b]During his campaign, President Obama promised that the U.S. would provide leadership in "strengthening the international moratorium on commercial whaling" and that "allowing Japan to continue commercial whaling is unacceptable." Bloody Waters[/b] As proposed, this plan would overturn the ban on commercial whaling and bloody the waters of the Southern Ocean Sanctuary by: * Approving the killing of whales for commercial purposes by Japan around Antarctica and in the North Pacific; * Adding new rights for Japan to slaughter whales for profit in its coastal waters; * Allow continued whaling by Iceland and Norway in violation of long-agreed scientific procedures and the global whaling ban. http://www.kintera.org/cms.asp?id=966589&campaign_id=29560&msource=DR100319003&tr=y&enString=llQORPWPOqLYJfPWJjKZIkOUJeKIITRGTWQSPqN1KnI0IhO3IyG&auid=6131199
