both sides of the cold war experimented with varying degrees of success in the training of dolphins and other ocean-faring mammals in warware- mine disposal, sabotage etc. surely in this lies the secret to saving the whales- resources would be better spent training suicide whales to sink their mechanical predators. rather like the emphasis in africa switched from simpy providing food aid, to teaching farming methods and providing tools. it is time to empower the whales. banzai.

Save the humpback whales

By Darren Stones Please note: Updated January 22, 2008 Note: Please click on images for more details. Each August, the whale watching season begins in earnest on Australia’s picturesque eastern seaboard. As a result of my journey to Hervey Bay during August 2006, I had the pleasure to record the magnificent humpbacks as they frolicked in the calm waters of Hervey Bay. I’d like to extend an invitation to you to view my whale watching slideshow. The slideshow is a culmination of work which was undertaken by me with the kind assistance of the staff and crew of Spirit of Hervey Bay. As most are aware, the humpbacks are still being slaughtered for what can be loosely claimed as research reasons. Bearing that in mind, please give your support the best way you can to help “Save the whales”. The link to my slideshow will take you to the Photodex web site. The slideshow has been produced using the ProShow Gold software package. Upon reaching the site, you may be required to download a tiny bit of software to view the show. Many photographers may already have this software installed on their system. I cordially invite you to experience one of our greatest animals in action from onboard the whale watching vessel ‘Spirit’ of Hervey Bay.

The senseless slaughter of humpback whales

A Japanese whale fleet is embarking on another ‘research’ mission in the waters of the Antarctic, and part of their operation is to slaughter 50 humpback whales. The Greenpeace campaign ship, Esperanza, will be shadowing the fleet and the group is planning a non-violent protest. Having been fortunate to witness humpbacks up close, it totally astounds me as to reason why this meaningless hunt on the species continues. I, and thousands of others, signed petitions in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia during August-October 2006, which were specifically aimed at seeing this practice foiled. Unfortunately, it seems efforts have failed and the Japanese Government has won the day. Are they a heartless bunch of bastards?

ART: ACTION WITHOUT VIOLENCE

This is a bubblemail I sent out to the group… by all means if anyone else is interested jump in… join the group and tag your piece… art for social and political change… ACTION MAIL In response to the call below… I am thinking that we need more momentum… I am going to try to motivate a couple of other groups with similar interests to perhaps participate but in the end any awareness is good awareness… There were a couple of crossover issues suggested but I thought given what has been happening with the whaling season in the southern oceans recently for an idea… visit this link activists and the whaling ships I thought this would be a good start to kick off an ACTIVE year. So please pick up your tools and start thinking about how we will tell people what we feel about the topic… INTERNATIONAL BAN ON COMMERCIAL WHALING I haven’t set an upload date, let me know if you think we should and I will find one… In the meantime, looking forward to seeing your pieces filter through the group… and telling everyone about them… important: tag your work with actionwhaling08 THANKS FOR BEING PASSIONATE! kath

ODE TO A WARRIOR WHALE / By Dave Sandersfeld Born around Baja, Mexico, where warm waters welcomed a 1000-pound and 15-foot new baby whale. / Magnificent Gray Whale (Eschrichtius robustus), I wonder how many cycles Spring-Fall) or annual migrations of 12,400 miles (20,000 km) round trip from Baja to Alaska did you make during your life-term? I can only faintly imagine year-round, 24-7 swimming! / How did you sleep or stay awake – out in the Pacific Ocean’s turbulent waves of blue? I have read you are prone to “Spy-hopping” or coming into coastal inlets to rest from turbulent ocean waves; and like a frog with its eyes protruding out of the water; you use your gray flippers or arm flukes to elevate your head out of the calm seawater to rest. / Did you live long enough to share a life with a soul-mate? Did you two have children; like humans do? As this adds another dimension to your past life; as you might have replaced your self and perpetuated your species here on Earth! / A reference said your species was thought extinct twice in the 18th and 19th century from over aggressive whalers looking for “whale oil” to sell? Even today, your 50-foot and 45-ton adult size makes you look more like a submarine than a mammal! / Your species prefer to stay along the coast line; unlike your other whale brethren. This trait made you easy prey for the Whaler-ships looking for a fast profit from port from the sale of “whale oil” – used to light city night lamps long ago. / Sadly your type is considered “extinct” along the Atlantic Coast; but I am very grateful you are the most common gray whale seen along the Oregon coast twice a year now! / I gather you were a “lunge-feeder” or swimming down to shadowy ocean bottoms and shoving your lower jaw into the muck – between coastal kelp beds. You’d come up for a breath and use your tongue in transit to squeeze out the sand, muck and seawater out of your filtering “baleen” and swallow the bottom krill, shrimp and crustaceans caught in the baleen. A new definition of seafood for humans? / I find it whimsical that you have two notches for a “blow hole” and your “Blow” or exhaled breath appears like a 15-foot tall “heart” in the cool ocean air on the surface! / I assume You met your untimely death while on a “Spy-hopping” break went BAD. No one could give you a hand due to your gigantic girth – you were alone! / You probably came into Sand Lake-Inlet at high tide and found the calm, soft sand bottom inviting to your belly. However, maybe you were napping, and the low tide caught you on the beach? / The buoyancy of the deep seawater helped you lift your massive lungs to breath; yet suddenly you awoke having difficulty breathing and the blistering sun baked you like a “tater” sometime in the remote past. / Did you roll frantically sides to side hoping to slide into deeper waters to swim out quickly; or did you not bother? / To die is not that big of thing; but hopefully you perpetuated your species before you died. Death doesn’t matter; but to not perpetuate your species leads to extinction of your special type on Earth! We all meet the Great Spirit that created us after death here and our life-term is up. / Thus, I write this “Ode to a Warrior Whale” to honor your noble life. / At least, your 4-foot “femur” resting inside Siuslaw National Forest’s Hebo Ranger District’s front office reminds all who see it – You Once breathed, frolicked and rolled with the Pacific Ocean Current’s strong will and made magnificent voyages from Alaska to Mexico in it repeatedly – which humans could not! We who see this whale bone/grave-stone honor your noble life on Earth – in the past. Thank you for being!!!!! /

Slaughterhouse
by IdKidThis flesh once smelt the morning dew / Huddled together for warmth
This is an appeal to the best in all of us. The desire to live in harmony with other sentient beings. / I accept the choice other’s make to consume meat. I did myself for many years until recently. I have made a life decision that every day makes me feel like a free agent in a world that I can interact with ethically. I urge others to do so as well.

Folks, below is a link to an updated journal entry which features a whale watching slideshow I produced in October 2006. I highly recommend you take time to view it and witness how beautiful a whale watching journey in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia can be. The journal entry Save the humpback whales was originally posted by me on June 21 2007 and I’ve completed a minor update to it. Save the Humpback Whales Thanks to Helen Bascom and kathleen for taking action and bringing the “Save The Whales” issue to the attention of RedBubble members again. Also, well done to members who are contributing to the cause via their art, t-shirts, journals and writing.
