The mandate has been signed and commercial whaling is officially off the table. This win belongs to every one of you who kept the pressure on. Keep a close eye on the regional ocean boards to ensure they follow through with these new protections.

The impacts of commercial whaling are felt by both whales and people. Every year, thousands of these majestic creatures are killed in the name of profit, causing immense suffering for these intelligent beings. This cruel and outdated practice not only threatens the survival of many whale species, but it also poses a significant threat to our oceans and marine ecosystems.
The stakes are high when it comes to commercial whaling. If we continue to allow the exploitation of whales for profit, we risk irreparable damage to our oceans and the creatures that call them home. The loss of whales due to commercial whaling has far-reaching environmental consequences that affect us all. From disrupting the food chain to impacting climate regulation, the consequences of commercial whaling cannot be understated.
Now is the time to act to protect our oceans and the magnificent creatures that inhabit them. By signing this petition, you can join a global movement demanding that governments around the world take concrete steps to stop commercial whaling. We demand that countries immediately put an end to supporting whaling industries and close loopholes in international agreements that allow the hunting of whales. We also demand that governments take stronger measures to protect endangered whale species and their habitats. Together, we can make a difference and ensure the long-term health of our oceans. Sign this petition today and share it with your friends and family to help stop commercial whaling and save our oceans and whales.

Imagine the horror if this was done to people. Whales are being killed for the greed of people and it is unacceptable. Japan has no need to kill them but still slaughters what would be a small city of people.
I condemn such heinous activity and would stop using all products which promotes killing of whale
Meer dan 30.000 walvissen zijn gedood sinds het moratorium De walvisjacht naties van Japan, Noorwegen en IJsland houden politiek invloedrijke walvisvangst industrieën die wensen uit te oefenen op de walvisvangst op zo groot mogelijke schaal. Alle drie de landen zijn het benutten van mazen in het verdrag de walvisvangst om walvissen te doden in weerwil van de IWC moratorium op de walvisvangst
It was claimed that there used to be so many Right whales in Cape Cod Bay on the east coast of the USA, that locals could walk across their backs from one side of the bay to the other – a distance of 40km. It is estimated that there are 400 left in the area.
When people abuse animals, they abuse also people, this next step is very small.
GOD-willing, whale populations will be saved.
Japan, Island and Norway should be at once punished for their cruel behaviour.
