Activists from Greenpeace in Chile made a popular performance at the annual carnival in Valparaíso. The parade gathers thousands of people every year. This year "Save the Whales" became a very visible message when activists from Chile staged a whaling action in the street: a whaling ship (the Yushin Maru) followed a big inflatable whale, with a Greenpeace boat between them.
