Watching is not enough

Here is another TV ad about whales that was made by Greenpeace Australia Pacific. The footage of the whale fighting for it's life is taken from our expedition to the Southern Ocean last year. This whale was harpooned three times, with several other shots missing. More than 35 minutes elapsed between the time the whale was first struck by a harpoon, and when it finally died. It was a very surreal experience to witness something so cruel. And gut wrenching. Gut wrenching because we have been unable to protect this whale from its pursuers. But the fight goes on, and we will bring an end to this. If you are tired of just watching, we know have a dedicated online community who are campaigning to protect whales - all it takes is a click to get involved.
