1/23/2006: Greenpeace takes dead whale to Japanese embassy
xoB sends along the above image and story, of a dead fin whale being lifted onto a truck. The whale died, apparently of natural causes, off the shores of northern Germany and Greenpeace offered to help marine biologists get the beast to a nearby facility for study. The Greenpeace folks then took the whale 120 miles south to the Japanese embassy in Berlin, where they dropped it at the front door. flickr photo set Their point is that Japanese don't need to whale for scientific purposes, if whales can be retrieved through other means. Sascha at we make money not art paints the tale pro-Greenpeace, but the marine biologists were kinda pissed. Apparently the beast is now at a Berlin facility. No word on who moved it there... or whether they made any other stops. |
