Stop whaling. On 12 September 2010 \u2018A Night for the Oceans\u2019 was organised. A fund-raising event for Sea Shepherd with the cooperation of Noble-House aimed at protecting and cherishing our oceans. This event was jointly sponsored by Dr Bronner bio-degradable, organic and fair trade body care products and soaps. Stop whaling. Sea Shepherd, Amanprana, Rutger Hauer, Dr Bronner and HempHoodLamb and many other organisations and people want a total ban on whaling.<\/p>\n

\"PaulPaul Watson<\/strong>, the Sea Shepherd\u2019s captain, spoke very passionately that evening: He compared the animals and people on earth to a ship. The animals are the crew, mankind the passengers. If something happens to the crew, then the passengers will also perish, said Paul Watson. We need to take care of nature. There is no place for massacres and cruelty in the twenty-first century. All whaling should be stopped immediately. Japan and a number of other countries need to give in and stop whaling. According to Paul Watson small organisations such as Sea Shepherd can make a difference. Japan has to give in. In 2009, Sea Shepherd was able to protect more whales than Japan could kill. Sea Shepherd symbolises the protection of all marine species and their habit, the oceans.<\/p>\n

At present,Mitsubishi<\/strong>, the biggest retailer of bluefin tuna, has a freezer with four years\u2019 worth of tuna stock in it. The company\u2019s aim is to raise this reserve to 15 years in order to have the monopoly on bluefin tuna once this can no longer be caught. Mitsubishi also has to stop marketing this highly endangered fish species. Paul Watson feels that if the oceans die, mankind will soon follow. After all, man comes from the sea. And without the sea man cannot survive. Paul Watson said: \u201cWe all need to protect the oceans and biodiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n
