Other Contacts

The most effective actions you can take to help keep Luna safe and reunite him with his pod is to send messages by letter, fax or email. This page has contacts for people who are not directly involved with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). If you would like to write to DFO, their contact info is here.

Make no mistake, your letters, faxes and email are tremendously effective. In fact, writing paper letters creates the greatest impression when compared to all other forms of communication. When enough people speak out, leaders will respond. So please take a moment right now and send a letter, fax or email to one or all of the people listed below.

Remember, paper letters are the most effective. Faxes are the next most noticeable. Emails are better than no action at all. If you only have a minute, please write to DFO first. If you have more time, please write to all groups listed below. Ask yourself if that small amount of time is worth the life of Luna.
