Ban Whaling now... They need our help.

I read today about a debate on Whaling, a man who was all for whaling wrote that they have ownership of the whales as it was tradition.... Now is it just me or is that wrong. The Japanese say it is all in the name of research, yet the meat ends up being sold and the bones used for medicine (rubbish) and trinkets. A whale in most cases will die very very slowly and in great pain, its disgusting and again its something in this day and age that we no longer need to do, its cruel, barbaric and has to stop. So I ask you again to have my back, lend your voice and make yourself heard sign the petition and pass it on to all that you know, together we can fight the good fight, together we can stop the cruelty. I thank you, remember to pass it along., With respect always James Howie.
