Greenpeace Whale Petition

If you care about whales, please sign this petition. It's not a doofie email thing or anything like that. It's a legitimate petition at the Greenpeace.org.au website, petitioning a tuna company (Sealords) which is fifty-percent owned by Nissui, a Japanese company that practices whale hunting, to state its objection to whaling.

It's a long shot, I think. Especially since the company is half-owned by the people doing the whaling, but shit - you gotta try something, right? It can't hurt.

In addition, if you're going to by tuna - avoid Sealords. I have an easy time of avoiding tuna that hurts dolphins and whales. Cause I don't eat fish! Bwahahaha.

Unfortunately I like tuna and eat it (usually Safcol or Greenseas). The problem with dolphin safe tuna is that they have a massive shark bycatch instead. People care more about the dolphins so they can get away with it - heck, it's not heavily distributed information that making tuna dolphin safe makes it shark dangerous.

That isn't cool. Sharks are so awesome. They should try to develop a fishing technique that doesn't involve hurting dolphins or sharks. Though I heard with commercial fishing they kill all different types of fish, take what they want, and just dump the rest back into the ocean. It just sucks in general. Sometimes I wish I didn't like fish so much.

And then of course there's long line fishing - which kills heaps of albatross.

Maybe I should just learn to eat grass...

I'm very glad I don't like fish at all. :(

You're kidding? Damn it. I like sharks! I don't want them hunted to extinction as well! :(
