Wolflady,

thanks for all the info and links. I am sorry to reply this late but I also lag behind because of the time difference (and I can only access a PC at work so I have a lot of catching up during my lunch break.

It was a while ago when I sent those letters to stop whale slaughter. I got the details from the Whales and Dolphin Preservation Society based in the UK. It was when a few countries decided to start whaling again, also I sent letters to stop that gruesome custom of battering whales to death as part of a festival on the beaches of the Phaero Islands. I will try to find those letters in my extremely messy filing system (a stack of boxes in the garage - never fully unpacked after moving).
