Las ballenas conocidas como ‘fin whale’ (Balaenoptera physalus) son gigantes del mar. Pero en unos días más de 180 ejemplares de esta especie en peligro serán sacrificados por un tycoon y sus secuaces cuyo hobby de verano es arponearlas, trozarlas y enviar su carne a través de Holanda hacia Japón para ser usada de ingrediente en alimento para perros! 

Pero hay una forma de detener la caza antes de que empiece: no se puede atracar un barco lleno de producto ilegal simplemente en cualquier parte. Las autoridades Alemanas y Finlandesas rechazan tan vergonzoso comercio. Ahora el talón de Aquiles son los Holandeses que, siendo que se preocupan por su reputación como líderes ambientales no quieren que su reputación sea manchada llamando la atención global. Si exponemos y demandamos a las autoridades Holandesas que rechacen la transferencia de carne de ballena en sus puertos podemos detener la masacre de las ballenas!

Pero tenemos que actuar rápido ya que los barcos balleneros están por iniciar la caza en unos días. Firme la petición contenida en el artículo (link abajo) y pida a sus amigos que hagan otro tanto. Hay que llegar al millón de firmas (ya hay cerca de 700.000) advirtiendo al Primer Ministro Holandés Mark Rutte que crearemos una tormenta mediática y pondremos el tema ballenas en el umbral de su despacho a menos que detenga la transferencia de esta carga vergonzosa en puertos Holandeses.

Fin whales are magical giants of the sea. But in days, over 180 of these endangered species are set to be slaughtered by one tycoon and his buddies whose summer hobby is to harpoon them, chop them up and ship their meat through the Netherlands to Japan for dog food!

There is one way to stop the hunt before it starts -- you can’t dock a boat full of illegal whale carcasses just anywhere. German and Finnish authorities have shunned the shameful trade. Now, the Dutch are the linchpin. They care deeply about their reputation as environmental leaders, and are hoping this bloody trade won’t get any global attention. But if we expose it now and demand the Dutch authorities refuse the transfer of whale meat in their port, we can stop the whale massacre!

We have to act fast -- the whaling ships are due to start the hunt in days. Sign now and tell everyone to join -- let's build a one million strong campaign to Prime Minister Mark Rutte now warning him that we will create a media storm with giant whales on his doorstep unless he stops the transfer in Dutch docks:
