Gorton's Seafood = Whaling

Ocean Defenders:

"Ask Gorton's to help stop whaling

With total annual sales in the hundreds of millions of dollars, Gorton's is the market leader in frozen seafood products in the US. The company even invented the McDonald's Filet-O-Fish burger. Its products are sold at grocery stores across the US.

In 2001 Gorton's was sold to its current owner, Nissui USA, for US$175 million. Nissui USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nissui, Japan's second-largest marine products firm, which is a major shareholder of the company that owns Japan's whaling fleet.

Send a message to Gorton's CEO Steve Warhover asking him to persuade Gortons' parent company, Nissui, to bring the hunting of whales to a permanent end."

A little action can go a long way.

Please go here and make your voice known:
Ask Gorton's to help stop whaling

You and I can do something!
