Rudd government betrayed us all and the whales.

Rudd 'Betrayed us all on whaling' - STOP japans illegal & barbaric slaughters NOW!

Target:
1000,000

This petition is to say to Australia's Kevin Rudd and Peter Garrett's labor party:

I am disgusted at your betrayal of your fellow Australians & anti-whaling supporters across the world, and STOP your harrassment against Sea Shepherds Captain Paul Watson and First Officer Peter Hammarstedt so that;
as 'the only organisation on earth with the courage & guts to confront the deceptive japanese government illegal whale slaughters, they will always have right of welcomed entry visas to Australia as they have always had in the past to be able to pursue their passion to bring to an end the injustice happening to earths marine life at the hands of a international law breaking, lying and deceptive japanese government. 

Why? Because back in 2007 Rudd & Garrett promised to get tough on illegal Japanese whaling as part of their campaign to win the supporting vote of the Australian people and admiration by the rest of the world!

Since then Rudd and Garrett have demonstrated that they have done far less for the whales than former Environment Minister Ian Campbell had done.

The Rudd Government has turned its back on all the 'get tough on whaling promises' they made before the election and has now become more submissively loyal to the demands of the Japanese Government than to the concerns of the Australian people that elected them.


Mr Watson's ship, the Steve Irwin, has been docked in Sydney's Circular Quay in recent days as part of an Australian tour ahead of the December mission to Antarctica.

"I will be there, visa or no visa,'' Mr Watson wrote.

"Peter Hammarstedt will also be there. No power short of a bullet will prevent us from returning to the Southern Ocean in December to once again cut the illegal Japanese quota in half and to negate their illicit profits.

''... I am confident that the Australian people will send their voice to Canberra to support us and the whales. Rudd and Garrett need to be reminded that it was not the Japanese whalers who voted them into power, it was Australian citizens, and Australians want the bloody slaughter in the Southern Ocean ended.''

We need to stop this senseless lie about why these innocent animals are being blown up. It makes me sick to my stomach that nations of the world still believe this is okay.

Why do Indonesian fisherman poaching in our waters, get jailed and have their boats confiscated and burned. Mr Rudd where's your balls with the Japanese. The Japanese say it's their tradition, but as with everything it really comes down to greed and money. What will their next generation find to kill into extinction under the guise of tradition.

Bad things happen when people stand by and do nothing!!! Dont turn a blind eye to the suffering and sadness of the slaughter of innocent whales. It is up to us all to be caretakers of the whales to ensure their continued existence...When are people going to learn from the mistakes of the past!!!

It is time to put an end to this. What right do we have to destroy these creatures? Scientific, rubbish - what scientific facts do we need so badly that we have to kill an innocent creature. Dead beached whales can be used for scientific purposes. It is a blood shed and inhumane and I for one are ashamed that our so called leader does nothing about it.

I sincerly hope whatever amount of signatures this may round up, that people who actually authorise these butchering and slaughter of innocent unique living creatures will start taking a more responsible attitude to nature and wellfare of animal rights.

Stop the TALK & Start the ACTION... Man up Mr Rudd and take a stand and follow through on your hollow promises. Whales are GOD's creatures and need a voice,a nd so far if you are their best chance... then they're screwed. The people won't let that happen Mr Rudd.

It is proven with science, that whaling is no longer a profitable as it once was. Please stop this cowardly attack on harmless whales. Time for Japan to come out of the stone age the USA Bombed them to. I urge UN Sanction get tough on Japan. I have also forwared this to President Obama, I am sure actions can and will be taken.

From the time you made your promise to take Japan to court over 4,000 whales have been killed. Before your election you told Mr. Howard “We cannot afford another year of complacency. The Howard Government must act immediately to take Japan to the International Court of Justice.” But now with you as PM nothing in the last two years have changed, in fact progress in saving whales has done nothing but slowed down. Before your election there was no “lets think about it” or “lets consider.” You must carry out your promise you made to the people of Australia. This year over 1,000 whales will be killed and you will be holding just as much responsibility for their deaths as Japan.

I thought for once a politician would stand by his word. Unfortunately it was only to be elected. What have the Japanese promised you that you are cow-towing to them? It's a disgrace. Give the Sea Shepherd their visas without all the b..s and stop the unnecessary slaughter. What do the Japanese say?...it's for science!!! Give me a break...

Peter Garrett - please do the right thing and support all anti-whaling activists. You have done so much protesting against the wrong doers and have supported great causes for so long - don't back down now just because of politics.

Sometimes the leaders need to listen to the people at the grass roots level. To ignore the people a leader proceeds at his or her peril.
