Pennywise Frontman to Lead Awareness Demonstration in Front of the Hump
Musician Zoli Teglas will be leading a demonstration this afternoon in Santa Monica to bring attention to the recent revelations concerning the use of whale meat at the city’s famed The Hump restaurant.
The demonstration will be held between 11:30 am and 2 pm in front of The Hump, located at the Santa Monica Airport.
“When we heard that the offense is only a misdemeanor and that operators of The Humpcould at most be fined and serve possible jail time for violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act we realized that we needed to do more to raise awareness and educate the Los Angeles community that this local restaurant is serving endangered Sei whale meat. We encourage people to join us to help put an end to restaurants in the US and Japan selling endangered species as delicacies,” said Teglas, who in addition to being the frontman for the group Pennywise also serves as the volunteer music and outreach coordinator for Sea Shepherd, an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization.
