RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Greenpeace activists dressed as oil-covered humpback whales shut down a petroleum services company Wednesday to protest oil exploration near a Brazilian marine national park.
Two groups of activists took part: those dressed as whales and others dressed in suits and masks that resembled the face of Eike Batista, the Brazilian billionaire who controls the oil-services and shipbuilding company OGX Brasil. The Batista look-alikes dumped oil on top of the protesters dressed as whales in front of OGX's headquarters.
