Modest Mouse released their latest video for the song King Rat, which was created by the film and music company the Masses, which Heath Ledger was apart of.

The video is gruesome. Hand drawn animation shows whales treating humans as they have been treated for decades. Raw images of humans being harpooned and skinned, illustrates the harsh realities of the contemporary fishing industry. The video was made to protest against “the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place off the coast of Australia.”
