Over the summer last year, Canadian Humpback Whales lost their "threatened" status under the Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA) prematurely, and are now considered to be just a species of special concern. This means that they lost rights to land protection, and are at the mercy of our actions. Together by raising awareness and signing this petition, we can inform the Government of our upset towards how our fellow mammals still require more serious protection.
The government thought we would just stay silent while they stripped away protections for these whales. The groundswell of support we have seen shows they were dead wrong and now they have no choice but to pay attention to our anger.
