Whales on Segways!

| More

Today 6 whales riding segways went looking for Prime Minister Fukuda of Japan who was meeting with President Bush today in Washington, DC. Neo, a humpback whale and mother, penned a letter to the PM asking him to use his authority to cancel this years whale hunt and to end commercial whaling for all time.

 
Neo and her family had a sighting of the Prime Minister at the White House, but he was too busy with Bush to chat with the whales. She and her family then went to Japanese media outlets to try to tell their story, and then the US State Dept to enlist the help of the U.S. government.

Failing to find a way to meet the Prime Minister at these locations, the whales went to the Japanese embassy where a Japanese diplomat came outside, thanked us for coming and took the letter to the Prime Minister.

Check out the slideshow!

We need more than cute suits! Mass demonstration of anti-whaling members and supporters while Fukuda is here is what is needed....We missed our chance here. We need to do something to make him LOSE FACE and be SHAMED for not Stopping the Whaling.... Same for Bush who must have given the "go-ahead" because the whaling fleet left port tonight 11/16/07...Thanks again GB for leading us to the path of destruction
