Say No to Whaling

Many people think whales are fish. But they're mammals just like us. They're warm-blooded and breathe air and form tight friendships and social bonds. They also feel pain.

Harpoons are designed to penetrate a whale’s body before detonating, inflicting massive shock, injury and pain. Their death can be drawn out and violent. In short it's incredibly cruel.

Even though commercial whaling was ‘banned’ in 1986, over 30,000 whales have been killed since then in commercial and aboriginal subsistence hunts.

Sadly, some countries do not play by the rules.

Please write to the embassies of Japan, Norway and Iceland, telling them you find their cruel activities unacceptable and urging them to concentrate on sustainable and humane whale watching tours.
