Please sign this petition against whale hunting

[Annapurna]

I signed this petition against whale hunting and sent the link to many other people. Please do so as well.

We have ~70 hours left.

I hope you join in. Together we stand.

Something's got to give.

You can even donate money right there on the spot via pay pal, Visa and phone and so support those who are donating their time to bring this to where it may have an effect.

I count on you. The whales need your voice.

Thanks to Cooran who pointed us to this, thanks to HHDL, who drew attention to it in his own way, just see how good it all is.

Thanks to everybody for your big heart.

Big hug.

Please everybody who signs it, say so on this thread.

[bodom]

Done.

[OcTavO]

Done. And what a great site - I think I will be visiting there often!

[Annapurna]

Yes, it is. I watched the counter for a few minutes, hundreds of people signed in only a few minutes, globally!

Wow...

[acinteyyo]

Done!

Please everybody who signs it, say so on this thread.

Out of curiosity, why?

[Tex]

Signed and forwarded.

[Anicca]

I signed. Repeatedly. Bogus name - bogus email - I signed repeatedly and watched as Bozo the Clown, [email protected] got credited with being against the killings ...

Done, though I don't think its going to make one iota of difference.

Please everybody who signs it, say so on this thread.

Out of curiosity, why?

Sure.

A. Because the Buddha said, that if we gain an insight (to help) it should be followed by action. (Somewhere in the Dhammapada, -couldn't find it ad hoc.) Only venting is useless.

B. It will strengthen our feeling of community to do something out of compassion in an attempt to help other sentient beings. A virtuous deed done together is a very good thing.

C. It makes me happy when I see the good will and compassion in others.


So you see a pyramid A-B-C, upside down.

On top the Buddha & Dhamma, then the community, then the individual...

FWIW.

I think I also signed it a week ago, but thought of it only afterwards.

Thank you. Let's hope it makes a difference. At least we tried, and this is certainly better than only venting in threads.

Even if we can't help the whales, which is not known, we help ourselves, through good intention followed by an action which will result in karma.

And who knows, perhaps it will have an effect.

There is a movie out about the slaughtering of dolphins. One of the Klitschko brothers is drawing attention to it. Now it is getting harder and harder for the men to enjoy their orgiastic blood bath.

There was Brigitte Bardot, who made a large public aware of the baby seals who didn't know about it and made them cautious what to buy.

There is a German actor named Hannes Jaenicke who fights for the small populations of Orang Utans that are still left.

We, the small people, have power, if we bundle it and send a laser beam into people's minds, so they can start reacting, in many ways, like boycotting industrial products, etc.



Good morning, everybody.
