FROM WASHINGTON CITIZEN'S COASTAL ALLIANCE
One year ago. It's almost hard to believe that at this
time one year ago, we all watched in horror as the United States
rejoined the pirate whaling nations of the world.
One year ago this morning, Makah whalers slaughtered a
juvenile female gray whale in the waters of a federal Marine Sanctuary -
she came right up to the whaling canoe, expecting a friendly hand.
Instead, she received a cold harpoon and a multitude of blasts from an
anti-tank gun.
The fight continues. A year of research and education is
under our belts, our resolve is as strong as ever to end this hunt, and
with the generosity and efforts of people just like you, we will.
We will prevail. With the truth on our side, the outcome
was never in doubt, only the length of time it takes to rid our shores
of this evil.
