Greenpeace

The whaling issues have been bothering me. It has evoked much anger in me and I've finally done something about it. I've just donated US$30 to the Greenpeace International, and I'm planning to do that annually. I know it is a small amount and probably insignificant to them, but at least I'm involved. :)

People, go check out the website and if you're such an environmentalist like me, do something. Words mean nothing, sometimes. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/

While I'm at this, please allow me to vent some of my anger at the Japanese. Japan catches nearly 1,000 whales in the Antarctic each year in the name of research. (Any International Whaling Commission (IWC) member is entitled to hunt whales for scientific research, but what Japan has done now far exceeds the amount allowed by the constitution.) The thing is, Japan has killed thousands of whales and they still can't provide the scientific data. Obviously they just enjoy killing whales lah... I heard that they even eat dolphin meat in Japan. What the hell?!? Can't they be more human for once?? So what if the country produce impressive talents and are leading in many aspects? I'm utterly disgusted by the things that they do. Not a surprise that they are also leading in suicide rate, huh?

*Shake head*
Thank goodness their actions have been condemned by the world.

Please stop eating shark's fin soup if you can help it. I've done it.
Please reuse, reduce and recycle.
