Many of you are asking me how you can help fight the Vancouver Aquarium.
Here's some suggestions.
----------------------------------------------------------------
1.First of all, read all the newsarticles I have been sending you and please write letters to the editor.
A few tips:
- send each newspaper a separate e-mail (same letter is OK)
- make the letters short (2-3 paragraphs max) and to the point
(for example: blast the park board for allowing the VA to bring more dolphins,
blast the VA for turning into another zoo, the cruelty, etc.)
- add your full name, group (if applicable), full mailing address and telephone number
- please blind copy me your letter for my files annelise@direct.ca

2. Secondly, if you live in our area, make sure to participate in all our events
(and bring lots of friends and family!).
Our next event is our RAIN ON THEIR PARADE Protest
Sunday, June 18, 2006 @ 10:30am sharp - Noon
Front entrance of the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park
The Vancouver Aquarium is having their 50th anniversary party and their parade starts at 11 am.
We will be there to mourn 50 years of animal cruelty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Support Lifeforce Foundation/Peter Hamilton's Save Stanley Nature Park campaign
and sign on to help us stop the proposed expansion of the Vancouver Aquarium.
Remember that more dolphin pools means more captive dolphins.
