Dear friends, For 30 years, Japan
has been slaughtering thousands of beautiful whales
despite a total global ban, but we can finally make it
stop.
Right now, at a historic global summit on
whaling, Australia is leading a coalition to help close the
crazy loophole that has allowed Japan to keep whaling by
claiming it’s for “scientific purposes”.
The result
could be decided by just one or two votes, but if we make
this huge in a few key countries and deliver a million
signatures to their delegations just before the vote --
just hours away -- we can stop this whale slaughter for
good! Click to stop the Japanese whale slaughterThe
situation has become so crazy that Japan recently killed 200
pregnant whales, and a Japanese website was just
found illegally selling whale meat
overseas!
The original ban on commercial
whaling allowed Japan to kill a small number of whales each
year for scientific purposes. But in reality it has become a
massive loophole through which fleets of Japanese whaling
ships sail every year. Even an
international court ruled there is nothing scientific about
Japan's whaling and it is completely illegal. Now
the International Whaling Commission has all the
ammunition it needs to stop them, and Brazil is proposing a
sanctuary to allow whales to recover and regenerate.
Governments are meeting right now, let's make this happen:
