Stop the Slaughter of Whales and Dolphins
International Whaling Commission & Governments of Japan, Norway, Iceland
Whaling is a cruel, outdated practice. Hunting and killing dolphins for food and captivity has been proven as being inhumane. We demand that the IWC to include small cetaceans in their purview and advocate for increased cetacean protection. We also demand the cessation of whaling by Japan, Norway and Iceland, including the "grind" pilot whale hunt in the Faroe Islands.

Scientific evidence has shown that cetaceans are sensitive, intelligent and emotional. They show us no harm, yet we continue to use and abuse them.
It is time for the IWC to enact stronger protections for whales and smaller cetaceans, and for whaling nations to cease once and for all.
