Subject: Attn Mr. Park Maeng-woo: Please stop the whale meat factory!

Mayor Park Maeng-woo

Ulsan, 680-701 Korea

Dear Mayor,

I am deeply concerned for the safety of the Greenpeace activists in your city, and to hear that you are planning to build a whale meat processing factory in Ulsan later this year.

As a foreign person hearing about Ulsan for the first time, I must admit that I am shocked to hear that the international reputation of your city is linked to this environmentally shocking plan.

Did you know that there is strong scientific evidence to show that the number of minke whales in the East Sea, estimated to be less than 2000 indivduals, are now  at lower numbers than when commercial hunting was banned in 1985?

Unfortunately this decline is linked to the bycatch trade which is centered in your city, Ulsan. Whereas countries without a trade in whalemeat, such as Spain, Brazil, USA, Britain and Australia have annual accidental catches of whales in fishing nets of one to six whales per year, the number of whales accidentally caught in Korea number almost a hundred times more than this. Dead whales worth up to $100 000 create a lucrative trade in this so-called 'lottery of the seas', creating a huge incentive to want to go out and deliberately drown whales.

I feel that by building a whalemeat factory to process these whales in sanitary conditions, Ulsan is clearly endorsing an unsustainable industry, giving the green light to a Japanese government-encouraged plan to maintain and increase the whale-meat trade in Korea. If you decide to go ahead and build this plant, you will be showing myself and tens of millions of other people around the world, that you want to destroy the oceans and the whales and dolphins that live in them.

Is Ulsan a city of whales or a city of whaling?

I understand that you have the power to stop this plan, and I appeal to you personally to do so.  Please do not evict Greenpeace's activists from the site they have occupied, and do everything in your power to protect their right to non-violently protest against whaling.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Stefan
