Looking to keep alive the crew members aboard the Esperanza and Arctic Sunrise, Greenpeace took to temporarily turning their ships away from the bloodied seas made redder by Japan's whaling fleets of recent weeks. Focus is now on the companies which finance and profit from connections to the yearly slaughter and search of ingredients for delicate palettes.
More specifically, those with supermarket ties and product lines in various states and countries. Such as Gorton's in the US, Sealords in New Zealand and Nissui in Europe and various other locales shuffling the shame.
Throwing up a protest earlier in the week, Greenpeace dropped the carcass of a 20 tonne fin whale in front of the Japanese embassy in Germany. Being beaten to the death of another whale, the embassy criticised the gesture and reiterated that there was no other way to conduct their culinary research without the guise of science.
With the whaling haul loading up the racks of ribs and blubber juice, Japan also chose to reinstate the ban on US import beef. Reports of fear on the quality of the beef, possibly affected by mad cow disease partial to the move.
Bucketing brackets of their boats beat down on the high seas outside the care and watch of Australia, the Esperanza and Arctic Sunrise are heading down to Cape Town. To refuel, re-sport and re-emerge later in the year for the ever continuing fight against the menu.
