Cease their ongoing killing of whales
Cease their ongoing killing of whales
The Issue
Despite a 1986 international moratorium on commercial whaling, nearly 40,000 whales have been slaughtered by commercial fleets from Japan, Iceland and Norway. We oppose the killing of whales under any circumstance, and feel that whaling threatens the future of whale populations worldwide.
