Yesterday, New York Times broke the story on how THE HUMP restaurant at the Santa Monica airport was busted by THE COVE filmmakers for serving whale meat—an endangered specie of whale, no less! (Click on the link for full article in NY Times.)
BUT the restaurant is still open for business and the $20,000 fine they could end up being slapped with is nowhere near enough to put them out of business. Meanwhile, uninformed patrons continue to spend top dollar to eat there! Please rally with us THIS FRIDAY during their lunch rush to get the word out! 1130am to 2pm.. We need to bring LOCAL media attention to inform people in the surrounding community about the truth about this restaurant – that they are illegally serving endangered species. We will be holding a peaceful protest in front of The Hump’s front entrance to let the media know that this shameful restaurant has secretly serving endangered Sei Whale meat. We will have signs made but please bring some of your own. Signs should say “shame on you for serving endangered species” to “stop serving whale meat” etc! Please help with getting more people to this protest so we can make a HUGE impact on things and inform people in Santa Monica what’s going on in their own backyard.
