Greenpeace is sponsoring a <a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/whaling/great-whale-trail/gwt-vote" target="_blank">whale naming competition</a> for the humpbacks traveling on the <a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/whaling/great-whale-trail" target="_blank">Great Whale Trail</a>. The contest started with over 11,000 submissions but has been whittled down to 30 possible suggested names including, as you probably guessed, Mr. Splashy Pants.</p> <p>Now, this is where you come in. Pick your top fave from choices like Talei (meaning 'special or rare' in Fijian), Veikko (meaning 'brother or a good friend' in Finnish), and other equally interesting and melodic names. You can only <a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/oceans/whaling/great-whale-trail/gwt-vote" target="_blank">vote once</a> but spread the word – the deadline is Dec. 7.</p> <p><a href="http://legacycreative.gettyimages.com/" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.petsugar.com/843907#comment greenpeace in the wild whales Thu, 29 Nov 2007 08:00:29 -0800 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/843907
