November 2006 THANK YOU Dear Supporter, Thank you for signing WSPA's petition to urge the Icelandic government to end whaling. Every single name counts and you have made our campaign stronger. To date, over 9,000 people have added their names. Around 9,130 of you want to see Iceland supporting ecotourism instead of whaling, and 9,160 of you are refusing to buy Icelandic goods or visit the country while whaling continues. Putting on the pressure On 2nd November, WSPA took the signatures gathered so far to a meeting with the Iceland Ambassador in the UK, where we stated our opposition to the cruelty of whaling. Next on the agenda are meetings at the Icelandic Embassies in Canada and Denmark on 8th November, where we will again show just how many of you oppose whaling. Bid for a whale's life on eBay In a stand against Iceland's continuing hunt, WSPA has started an eBay auction to bid for a whale's life. We want to offer the Icelandic government the market value of one fin whale in return for its life being spared. Going by estimated market value of the meat, an endangered fin whale would fetch around £95,000 in Iceland. And to spare its life we need you to help us raise it. 500 people made a bid in the first 24 hours of the auction - please add your bid for a whale's life on eBay right now. The more £10 donations you make, the more whales we can try to save.
