protect whales EVER!
In a few days, Norway will
start a horrific annual tradition of killing hundreds of
whales. But if enough raise the alarm now we could get
governments across Europe to close their ports to
Norwegian ships until they agree to end the bloody
slaughter of these emotional, intelligent beings! We did
it before with Iceland. Add your name with one click

Dear friends, In just a few days, Norway
will start up a horrific annual tradition -- the ruthless
slaughter of hundreds of whales. But we’ve got a strategy to
say ‘NO WAY!’ Whales are awe-inspiring,
beautiful beings. We now know they communicate with each other
in song, and experience human-like emotions. But in Norway,
every year these amazing creatures are hunted down and killed,
then hacked apart to become animal feed and ingredients in
beauty products. It’s unbearable. Norway
has managed to slip under the radar as the #1 whale
slaughtering country. But if we now rally unprecedented
global outrage, we can push Europe to close its ports to
Norway’s whalers. We did it with Iceland -- let’s do it again!
Sign the petition below with one click: Add your name to say NO WAY! to Norway’s whalingTo
the Norwegian government, the European Commission and all
leaders of countries that allow Norwegian whale shipments to
pass through: As concerned global citizens
we appeal to the Norwegian government to end the whale
slaughter, and to all others to close your ports to Norwegian
whale meat shipments. Your decision will set precedent that
could save thousands of whales, and help stop whaling across
Europe. Add your name to say NO WAY! to Norway’s whalingOur
movement and our partners already got Germany and the
Netherlands to move to shut their ports to Icelandic whalers,
got a major Icelandic whale hunter badboy to shut down his
operations, pressured the International Whaling Commission to
clamp down on “scientific whaling”, and helped set a path to
have 30% of our oceans protected by 2030. Norway
has got away with this mass murder for too long and
the government just announced that it’s intending to double
its slaughter quotas! But it is only profitable if they
can export, and they rely on European ports to ship their
bloody whale meat overseas. Let’s end
Norway’s trade of these magical species. When 1 million of us
have joined, Avaaz will pull out all the stops to make this a
PR nightmare until every port in Europe rejects them and
Norway stops whaling once and for all. Add your name
now and tell everyone -- let’s turn up the heat to save the
whales! Add your name to say NO WAY! to Norway’s whaling
