Heresy Anti-whaling tee

This is why whaling needs to stop. Seriously, this is not funny anymore. Heresy is not happy.

We don't know who has Copyright on the below image, sorry.


Life is short and to be grabbed a hold of, and shaken to death. Who we are is marked by what we do. We strongly believe that the greatest act as a human, is to act on principle for those who can't speak for or defend themselves.

We are absolutely committed to the world around us - both its ecological systems and also to our fellow humans.

Thus, we have instituted a Social and Environmental Awareness Series of products. You all know of our committment to sustainability in the manufacturing process and toward the proper and fair treatment of those making our stuff.

We thought it was time to do something to give back to the world around us that gives so much.

Our first edition of the SEAS series is an anti-whaling tshirt. This tshirt is made with organic cotton and comes in 2 colours; organic/natural (with sick green thread) and black. The artwork is posted on our page. The art will be printed black on the organic tees and white on the black tees. Nearly 100% percent of the profit from each shirt will be donated to Sea Shepherd - this equates to around $15 per shirt.

So as well as getting an awesome tee, you will be directly helping stop this horrendous practice.

Some of you might disagree with Sea Shepherd's methods but multi-lateral diplomacy is clearly failing. It seems as though uni-lateral direct action is needed. Currently we support Sea Shepherd's methods, but should these be deemed illegal, we will redirect the funds elsewhere to help in an effective manner.

Even if you don't agree with us on this, that's cool, just have a look at the picture we've posted for the news item for this to see why we do not like this practice.

Thanks to Dan Marsh of The Red Eyes (http://myspace.com/themightyredeyes) for the art.

We'll be doing a few of these for other causes as well, so stay tuned. If you'd like to get involved in the artwork, please email us.
