575 Whales Were Slaughtered in Norway This
Year; Sign the Petition to End Whale Hunting There!
|
This
year was the largest slaughter of whales in Norway in over 5
years, the body count totaled 575 minke whales. This
number is particularly staggering when you learn that most
Norwegians don't even eat whale meat! A recent poll
revealed that only 2% of Norwegians eat whale meat with any
regularity and virtually no young people do. So why is the
government still allowing this cruel industry to flourish and
even spending money to prop it up?
Sign the petition to urge the government of
Norway to finally ban antiquated and cruel whaling!
The whaling industry is
extremely cruel: about 1 in 5 whales hit by a harpoon
do not die immediately and instead suffer a slow and painful
death. Additionally, two-thirds of the whales killed
are female and half of those are actually pregnant when they
die! Whales are a critical part of the ocean's ecosystem and a
boon for tourism in Norway. For these reasons and more, the
vast majority of Norwegians think whaling should be banned.
Will you sign the petition to urge the
government of Norway to finally do away with
whaling?
Thank you,

P.S.
Slaughtering whales is inhumane and harmful to the ocean's
ecosystem. Sign the petition. |
