IWPO End Whaling Forever!

IWPO End Whaling Forever!

Target:
10000000
WHO ARE WE?

The IWPO already represents more than 80 groups with over 240,000 combined members  forming a united front against whaling.

We are the people of the international community,
And we will defend the oceans
For they are a common heritage of all mankind.


We are people working to fix a problem on a planet filled with problems.
An alliance of the motivated working to protect whales and dolphins from humans who seek to kill them.

We are people. Lots and lots of people.
People from anti-whaling websites, channels and groups united as friends for a good cause.
People are behind the FAQS, links, pictures, videos, websites, forums and groups.
A lot of people and we work as a team to amplify and compliment the efforts of others working towards the same goal.
We use the IWPO for spreading news with ease to hundreds of thousands of eyes and ears.
It is part of a co-ordinated effort to keep a spotlight upon the whalers.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

Our members are concerned about the killing of whales and dolphins and motivated to do something about it.
We invest our time, creativity and money, some even risk their lives, to bring an end to this blot upon humanity.
The whales are roaming the world's oceans and belong to all countries and people.
Unless a stand is made en masse the killing will continue.


We have unknown populations of protected animals migrating accross oceans and they are being indescriminately killed so that a wealthy few and their pets can eat an exotic meat.
It has to end, and we are here to make that happen as soon as possible.


WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN US?

Because we are going to end whaling and we need your help to do it!

We support action against whalers through the courts, people power, IWC, education, diplomatic pressure, the media, boycotts, protests and direct non-violent action.
Using the internet, we help co-ordinate consumers and citizens.
Small actions multiplied by lots of people equals big changes.

The people of the world will stop whaling and the few who would attempt to stand in the way of this forgone conclusion are merely wasting their effort.
This is just the begining, join us and be part of the end.

CAN I SPEAK TO THE LEADER OF THE IWPO?

There is no leader :)
Some of our members are louder than others.
But they lead the IWPO just as much as our quieter members.
The IWPO is not a person, or a group of persons, its a single collective united for a goal.
We shall proceed to expel whalers and their fans from the internet and systematically dismantle whaling industries no matter the country that shelters them.
The IWPO encourages its members to make their stands against the cult of whaling in whatever way they can.
All of us are leaders, all of us are followers and we can all do things to help the collective.
Our weapons against whaling are reason, evidence, argument, consumer education and free speech.
We shall never use direct violence upon the whalers, for that is not the way this works.
The violent shall be weeded out and discarded. We do not need their help.
We are good people, but we are angry about the whaling and we will end it.
To those that underestimate us.... you haven't seen anything yet.

FINAL MESSAGE TO THE WHALERS?

To all the whale and dolphin killers of the world,
You cannot hide in your countries from Green Peace, you cannot hide on the seas from Sea Shepherd and you cannot hide on the internet from the IWPO.
We are coming to shut you down and we come in numbers far greater than your own!
This is the IWPO!
And it exists only to stop you!

We the undersigned,
           Oppose your whaling activity and will do our best using every legal method available to end it forever. We have chosen the "World Council of Whalers" (whaling@shaw.ca) as the target for this letter as we believe that all whaling is obselete and cruel.
Please read through the comments that have been left as we all have our reasons for signing. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We like whales, and we had to make our opposition to their killing known.

I feel the killing of large-brain mammals is a deeply immoral act, and the mass murder of such animals is unspeakably reprehensible. it is a profound mistake for the human community to turn a blind eye to the mass murder of creatures like ourselves, large brained mammals. I know others have different reasons for signing the petition, but their intelligence and thus essential similarity to us is mine. Allowing acts of cruelty to be perpetrated against creatures like ourselves will ultimately condemn us in the eyes of the future. Just as we look back with shame on classical Greece and wonder how a culture that championed democracy could also embrace slavery, or how an enlightened mind like Aristotle's could actually offer rhetorical arguments in its defense, and in the defense of the presumed inferiority of women (arguments to which Plato, one of the clearest thinkers of his time, agreed), or as we look back with utter revulsion on the enslavement of black people for over a century by white Europeans, and consider with a shudder the civilized arguments offered in its defense, I believe that, should we somehow survive the many serious threats to our planet and our species, people of the future will regard our bloodthirsty refusal to acknowledge the rights of whales with a similar uncomprehending horror and and irrefutable evidence of our fundamental bestiality. I don't think petitions will have any effect, really--though I'd be happy to be proven wrong; but I want to go on record in firm moral opposition to the slaughter of intelligent creatures.

There is no purpose to the senseless murder of these creatures. If you have to kill this many to improve your science, you should probably just give up...you weren't meant to know it.

Yes, I am boycotting.

Please take the time to write a few words about how you feel in regards to the whale and dolphin killing. It gives this petition a lot more power and

Are you boycotting products from countries that continue to whale. Yes I am all products from any whaling nation

The continued hunt of the already endangered whales is driving them to extinction. It needs to be stopped and soon. It is completly unacceptable that some nations continue to butcher whales against the regulations of UN and other organizations.

I'll start boycotting products from Japan.

# 721:

This atrocity just tears me up inside. I can't understand why you would slaughter these intelligent and beautiful creatures. It makes me ashame to be human. This must end!

I plan to boycott any countries that allow the killing of whales!

Please ban the killing of these beautiful and rare creatures so that generations to come can enjoy their wonder.

Myself, family and friends will be boycotting all products from Japan and the supporting nations.

Are we the "superior" species on this world? When did we decide that we had the right to choose which animal deserve live and which does not? When did we became God? if there is a God and if there is a judgment day what will be our answer to all this criminal behaviour? Only actions can answer some of this questions, and the time started yesterday so we are running late, we must protect those as dolphins and whales that give so much from bests like us humans, if you think our children deserve to live so do they! it is time to stop the slaughtering of wild life!

NO

I am appalled at the apathy the Japanese govenrment is taking over the mass slaughter of whales for so called scientific experiments. I am disgusted at the Japanese people's ignorance at what is going on in this reguard, and that only a small number of Japanese people know what the impact of this cull is causing on marine life and the future of Whales and dolphins in our oceans. Absolutely no killing is needed to do any research.. its probably only some sick bet to see how many whale steaks they can get from one whale. It makes me sick to the pit of my stomach to see these wonderful creatures treated this way. Total disrespect for God's mighty ocean creatures.

I just think that it's immoral to whale hunt, we should be respecting one of the worlds most wonderful creations rather than indiscriminately culling them. Japan claim it's tradition and that it's being taken from them, to be fair yes it is their tradition but so was slavery to us back in history and for a lot longer but that was abolished, as should whaling.

Indeffinately.

# 713:

What an absolutely disgusting act of cruelty and greed. I don't think the Japanese whalers would like it if THEIR intestines exploded from their bodies, and trailed behind them, until they eventually passed away from blood loss and excruciating pain. This isn't science. Science never involved grenade-tipped harpoons and harmless sea creatures. It's just murder.

Whales aren't something we can mass produce! therefore if people keep killing them for their own greed they will eventually go extinct. And we will loose another spectacle of the nature. Please protect something that can't be brought back once it's gone!

Whales are an amazing species that can easily be studied WITHOUT whaling. The only members of society who should be whaling are native tribes who have historically depended on whales to sustain and support their communities.

Education and research tells us this is a complete scam and completely unnecessary killing of these whales. It needs to be blown up and magnified to the public and stopped. Thank you kindly for representing our voice

No I am not boycotting, but I am not happy with the Rudd stance and am informing others of this
