Mister Splashy Pants
Save him, send him and then wear him.
Mister Splashy Pants has taken the world by storm. His very 'splashy' name was chosen by over 100,000 people via an online competition to name one of the humpback whales that we were satellite tracking in the Pacific. He has since appeared on hundreds of websites around the world.
Mister Splashy Pants chalked up a victory when the Government of Japan has abandoned plans to kill humpback whales in the Southern Ocean this season and this is good news indeed.
But whaling has not ended, and Mister Splashy Pants and his pals are still under threat. Japan still plans to kill minke whales and endangered fin whales this year, and has only promised a delay in the killing of humpbacks. We all need to do more NOW to stop the hunt forever.
On this page you will find the three easy steps to help save Mister Splashy Pants.Despite the Japanese reversal of its decision to hunt humpbacks this year, Mister Splashy Pants is still in danger and we need you to save him!
The Nisshin Maru, Japan's factory whaling ship, is an old, unsafe vessel that is due to be retired. The Japanese Fisheries Agency knows this, and knows that the future of whaling may well rest on whether a new super-ship gets built or not.
We believe the Japanese taxpayer has a right to ask whether billions of yen should be invested in this industry -- especially given that it generates no useful science, adds to a mountain of unsold whale meat, poses a diplomatic liability to Japan's foreign relations, and in the end profits only a very few bureaucrats. This ship should not be built. And plans to build it should not be kept secret.
Ask the Japanese Prime Minister to launch an investigation to reveal precisely what plans exist, and how much it will cost the Japanese taxpayer. STEP 2: Send this e-card to your friends
