True Blood‘s Kristin Bauer has recorded a public service announcement for the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s campaign Tails for Whales.

The campaign was designed to show governments around the world how many people support protecting dolphins in Japan.

One way concerned activists can do this is by taking a photograph of themselves making a dolphin “tail” with their hands (for better pictorial explanation, visit the website), and uploading it to the Tailsforwhales.org site.

Besides being counted as an activist, you can also add your picture to your blog or personal web page or any other media source that gets people to take a second look and asks, “What’s this about?”
