STOP THE KILLING OF GREAT WHITE SHARKS IN NZ
HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO It is not illegal to accidentally catch GWS but it should be released alive & unharmed. Reported to DOC & Ministry of Primary Industries as soon as possible.

The goal of this petition is to reinstate Elvis' name on the "USS Arizona Memorial" in Pearl Harbour - Hawaii...
