For 30 years, Japan has been slaughtering thousands of whales – despite a global moratorium on whaling. Today we can finally make it stop.Right now, at a historic global summit on whaling, Australia is leading a coalition to help close a loophole that has allowed Japan to keep whaling under the guise of “scientific research.”
This issue could be decided by just one or two votes. We need a huge show of support from citizens of a few key countries to pressure their delegations to vote to close the loophole. We need your help to deliver millions of signatures to delegations before the vote—just hours away—demanding an end to the horrific slaughter of whales. Help us spread the word and follow the link below to sign the petition.
We need to act now. Today may be the last best opportunity to forever end these tragedies. Just recently, the Japanese government authorized the killing of 200 pregnant whales, and a Japanese website was just found illegally selling whale meat overseas!
An international court ruled there is nothing “scientific” about Japan’s whaling, and that Japan’s actions are 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, so let’s make this happen.
Please help Earth Day Network and our friends at Avaaz protect the oceans and save whales. Let’s take advantage of this moment to stand up for the planet!
