At first it was admittedly a little intimidating to approach strangers on the street however once I got in to the swing of things, it became surprisingly easy to talk to people on the issue of whaling and encourage them to participate. Even amid the hustle and bustle of the City, it was great to see that a vast number of people were willing to give up a few moments of their time to show their support and Give Whales A Voice.
I spoke to those from all walks of life, from business people and students to musicians and skaters, all united in the belief that the inhumane and unnecessary slaughter of these awe inspiring creatures should come to an end.
As a team we collected just under 1200 words to add to the thousands already recorded via givewhalesavoice.com.au. What better way to show the world and the IWC how Australians feel about whaling than to use the voices of Australians themselves!
A big thank you to all who helped out on the day, especially our wonderful volunteers who offered their free time to help us out.
