Dear Barb Thank you for getting this out. This is SICK beyond Belief!

Signed once when you posted Barb ~ Sorry was going to leave a message and got kicked out with my laptop shutting down...Signed again under different E-Mail brower when Curzio forwarded, and just signed again when Ruth S. forwarded.

Laptop doesn't let me stay long on Care2 - gotta keep signing in URGH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH SWEET BARB! This is important! So sick what goes on there ~ Hoped that when that movie the Cove was done that it would of put an end to this bloody bath.

Will see if I can put that link up, but it is graphic!

Jutta had sent me this link and there is another petition actually Care2, plus tons of information for The Cove...you'll have to copy paste don't know how to do live links sorry. Thought this was more information and better than the video on The Cove (that is so heart breaking it would have you sobbing). There is a video on this news letter you need to take a peek at "A Fall from Freedom" Please watch. In the subject matter.

Again Barb! You're such a lovely person inside and out. Prayer, Hugs and tons of my love coming at you through this xoxoxo

Noted and "signed". However, when I revisit the petition and click "signatures", mine is not there (I spelled my name "Sime Validzic" as I do for non-English speaking countries). I tried twice.

A comment by Mm M (Saturday September 1, 2012, 7:51 am) lead me to visit the "Save Japan Dolphins" website. There are several pledges and petitions to "sign". Here is a link to just one petition:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/724/210/624/

(I "signed" on August 16, 2009). It is great to see that 464,218 people have "signed". I get really turned off by endless similar petitions which only manage to reach about 1,000 "signatures".

This is so totally disgusting--slaughtering these beautiful, harmless creatures for no reason at all (no good reason, anyway!).
I haven't seen "The Cove", and I won't, because I heard what it was about--I'm a wimp, I know, but I just couldn't!
Thanks Barbcat.
