The response to our appeal to replace the boats stolen from us by the Danish Navy and the Danish Police has been very encouraging.
We have raised some 55,000 Euros and almost 30% of our goal in the last four days which is very good despite the fact that Facebook restricts the number of people that can be reached with each posting which is the reason that I must post the appeal numerous times with the hope that it will reach all Sea Shepherd supporters.
And if every person who supports Sea Shepherd on our pages donates something we will reach our goal and we will replace our boats and demonstrate that we have the support to continue our opposition to the brutal and archaic slaughter of Pilot whales and dolphins in the Danish Faroe Islands.
So far we have had 1,685 people contribute to this appeal. Imagine what we could achieve if everyone who cares about defending the lives of the dolphins gave even just a small donation.
At this very moment, Sea Shepherd has volunteer crews on three ships in Faroese waters. We have volunteers on the ground in Taiji, Japan defending dolphins. We have volunteers on the ground in Northern Scotland defending seals. We have volunteers on the ground in Costa Rica, Honduras, Colombia, Cape Verde and Florida defending turtles. We are preparing a vessel to return to defend the endangered Vaquita in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez.
If you support the efforts of these hundreds of volunteers who are engaged in actively saving the lives of so many citizens of the sea, please consider making a donation to this appeal.
The funds raised will go directly towards replacing and recovering our four boats.
