Circusweekend

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I spent most of this weekend (friday, saturday, sunday) demonstrating against a Circus in town, Sirkus Agora.

The demonstration was a joint demonstration with us (The Norwegian society for the protection of animals – Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge avd. Trondheim og omeng) and NOAH. We where usually 5 people there, and 15 at the most.

We handed out a bunch of flyers, got lots of positive response from people going by. The circus had few visitors, and we got to videotape their mistreated elephant. The video should be on the local newspapers web page sometime today, along with a story on the conditions of circus animals.

Blog Action Day

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

What would happen if every blog published posts discussing the same issue, on the same day?

I signed up for blog action day, and I’ve decided to donate the 1000 kr (177$) I get from working October 15th, to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. I also wanted to donate to the Ferrets First animal shelter, but I’ve donated some to them before, and will probably donate a few hundred dollars for Christmas anyway.

Blog Action Day

Join the Blog action day, and post on your blog about environmentalism on October 15th. I also encourage everyone to donate the days earning to a charitable cause :)

Whalers pwned by Ninjas!

Friday, September 14th, 2007

The Norwegian whaling “Willassen Senior” was recently sunk while at port using the good old Saltwater cooling intake method. I’m usually not a big fan of extremism, but this is just funny (until someone gets hurt) :)
The group Agenda 21 (allegedly with several Norwegian members) has claimed credit for this feat. Below is an artist(well.. Me) rendering of how the ninjas carried out their little operation:
