Whale MEAT!? !!!!!!!!!!! *the horror!*
I love virtual villagers. So much I bought it for my sister and was about to buy it for my mother - but after a disturbing discovery of my villager liking whale meat, I've changed my mind. This might be innocent and it might not be, but as a member of
[*]null[*]A network of protected areas for our oceans00]Greenpeace - I can't do it.

I'd like to know who thought it would be funny/smart/good to put this into our game! I'm so torn between the love of my village/game and my love for these most precious creatures. They're important to the survival of the planet. I hear rumors of a 3rd VV - if it isn't already out. As a favor to Mother Earth, the Whales and the planet - don't put that as a "like or dislike", please.


DID YOU KNOW:
Copied directly from Greenpeace:
"As the International Whaling Commission begins its meetings in Anchorage, Alaska, a stark reminder of what's at stake: 17 dead whales and dolphins from across Europe are displayed in Germany.

While politicians and bureaucrats talk, activists in Germany presented evidence of environmental crime at the Brandenburg Gate.

They set out 17 dead whales and dolphins, which were collected in the last weeks along European coasts. Why 17? It's the number of dolphins and whales that die every 30 minutes all year round in our oceans, mainly due to bycatch.

This grisly fact underscores the need for four things:

New thinking in fisheries policy in order to minimize bycatch
  • A network of protected areas for our oceans
  • The International Whaling Commission meeting next week in Alaska needs to deal with all threats to all species of whales and dolphins. In some cases, even governments that support whale conservation at the IWC turn a blind eye to whale deaths being caused by their own policies.
  • Maintenance of the moratorium on commercial whaling to counter the wider environmental pressure on these animals and our oceans


If you're opposed to whaling and want to save the planet go to greenpeace.com and find out how you can help SAVE THE WORLD.
