Animal folks,
By now you have all heard of The Cove, the documentary that has swept the film festival and guild awards and is up for an Oscar this coming Sunday. It features the work of Ric O'Barry -- his attempts to end the slaughter of over twenty thousand dolphins every year in Japan, a slaughter largely funded by the international marine mammal entertainment industry.
I am having an Oscar pre party of sorts, on my patio over the ocean in Pacific Palisades:
Sunset Sangria to Save Japan Dolphins
Saturday, March 6, 4-6:30pm
It's a fundraiser for Earth Island Institute's Marine Mammal Project, which funds O'Barry's work. Ric needs to get back to Taiji in September to stop the bloody cycle, and we need to help him.
Ric O'Barry will speak at the event. There are many wonderful animal friendly folks from the acting world joining us. Renowned actorvist James Cromwell (Babe, 24, W) will introduce Ric.
It will be a small and intimate cocktail party. There is only space for forty so please see the invitation at
www.EarthIsland.org/thecoveparty
And RSVP now so that you can come meet Ric, learn more about his work, and help save the dolphins.
Oh -- and drink delightful organic sangria and eat scrumptious vegan hors d'oeuvres, as we watch the sunset over the ocean, too!
We have asked the local pod of dolphins to do a swim-by as they often do at sunset. We are hopeful, but they can't commit -- after all, it is Oscar weekend in Los Angeles and there is a lot of demand. However, the famous Monty and Marsha Turkey, featured on the ABC World New Now webcast last Thanksgiving, will definitely be in attendance. You may like to bring your kids to meet them.
I hope you can join us. I am sending this to my whole list, not just Los Angeles, just in case you happen to be in town, or want to come in especially for the event, or you have friends in Los Angeles to whom you might forward this invitation because you know they would love to come.
Yours and the animals'
