End Icelandic Whaling Forever

The Issue

Iceland is one of the few countries in the world that doesn't abide by the international moratorium on commercial whaling. They continue to kill whales even though no one is eating them and the companies hunting them aren't making any money.

The US government has been considering using economic sanctions--under what is called the Pelly Amendment -- on fish imports from Iceland if it continues to violate the international moratorium on commercial whaling. Now is the time for them to do it!

Tell Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke to employ sanctions on Iceland now and help end whaling by Iceland forever.
