Thousands of people gathered on Bondi Beach to attend a
"SAVE THE WHALES AGAIN!" Campaign
anti-whaling rally while becoming part of a unique ‘aerial
art’ image to bring attention to the plight of the Australian
Humpback whales and the more than 1,000 whales that are now
being threatened by the Japanese Whaling fleet. A press

Board-member John Quigley of Spectral Q brought a design of
Venus, the official adopted humpback whale of Sydney sketched
by Howie Cook, co-founder of Surfers for Cetaceans, to life in
a massive whale made up of more than a thousand people that
measured over 300 feet long.
Special
guests included "Save the Whales
Again!" Campaign spokespersons Isabel Lucas, Dave
Rastovich, Mimi Macpherson, and Bondi Beach Mayor Ingrid
Strewe.
| “Polls have
shown that over 87% of Australians want our government
to take action to stop the Japanese from whaling in our
territorial waters said Isabel Lucas. “We are calling on
our government to send the Australian Navy down to
protect the whales in our waters.” |

“The Japanese
Whaling fleet is on its way to the Southern Ocean Whale
Sanctuary with the intention of killing 935 Minke
Whales, 50 endangered Fin Whales, and 50 endangered
humpback whales in Australian Territorial Waters and we
simply cannot allow this to happen!” said Save the Whales Again! Campaign
founder Jeff Pantukhoff. |
| "Our campaign
is leading a growing international movement for the
enforcement of International whaling laws.” added
campaign spokesperson Dave Rastovich, co-founder of
Surfer for Cetaceans. “There is no way to humanely kill
a dolphin or whale and their meat is unhealthy to eat.
Its time to end this barbaric industry". |

calling upon Australian’s and citizens all around the world to

Again!”
