A huge beached whale has been dumped outside the Japanese embassy in Berlin in a Greenpeace anti-whaling protest.

The controversial environmental activists hauled the fin whale to Berlin from the Baltic coast after finding it beached on a sandbank. The dead whale measured 17 metres (56 ft) long and weighed 20 tons.

Activists are trying to demonstrate that there is no need to kill the mammals for research – as Japan does – because cadavers can be found.

I couldn’t resist this one. What an innovative tactic.

Can you imagine something comparable for your own favorite politician?

    I don’t think there are any beached Constitutions for us to put in front of the white house 😉

    More proof that GP is not pro-environment, they’re anti-humans.

    Whaaaat! No “red mist” exclamation point.

    I’d think that leaving body bags filled with Iraqi children in from my Dave Camp’s (my local representative, and advocate for the Iraqi invasion even now) office would make people stand up, and notice.

    Kind of pretty much the poorest of taste, but a similar tactic.
