Despite an international moratorium on commercial whaling, 2137 whales
will be killed this year and the
Japanese government is aggressively campaigning to lift the ban on
commercial whaling.

Greenpeace  organizing a massive photo protest to not lift the ban.
The idea is that your picture,
along with thousands of other peoples, will be projected in front of
the building where delegates
from hundreds of governments meet on June 20 to decide if the whales
live or die.
The meeting will be in Ulsan, South Korea.
