A graphic performance
This Australian ad takes the whaling industry to task on stage.
Today in ads that make you say “whoah” – this performance from Australian actor David Field for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
The intense “Ultimate Death Scene” puts a human face on cruelty in the whaling industry, which the international non-profit fights against.
The performance lays out the steps taken when whales are killed – beginning with being struck with a massive harpoon and then pursued until exhaustion and then left to die – countering the industry claim that a whale dies within minutes.
