The International Fund for Animal Welfare is taking to Second Life to launch a campaign against Canada's seal hunt tomorrow.

The event will be held on Progressive Island at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday and will feature avatar Daisey Meadowbrook who will talk about the IFAW's new campaign to stop the Canadian seal hunt. Meadowbrook will also be unveiling the new public service announcements against the hunt, in game.

The virtual presser will be followed by a virtual cocktail reception onboard the virtual Song of the Whale, the IFAW's research boat. I wonder if virtual seals will be in attendance?

What I don't get is why organizations waste their time. I mean most sims have a pretty tiny cap. For instance, the turn out at last week's book reading by Dean Koontz was expected to be about 30 people. Why in the hell would he waste his time?
