Target:Einar K. Guofinnsson, Minister of Fisheries, Iceland Sponsored by:Care2
Iceland's whaling industry is pushing for permits to kill 100 minke whales as well as some fin whales, which are an endangered species.
Iceland's Minister of Fisheries will make a final decision soon and whaling could begin in May. Please sign our petition today and urge Iceland to stop whaling forever!
We signed the “Iceland Could Resume Whaling - Please Act” petition!

I'm horrified at what we HUMANS do to our earth! We polute,kill and completely extinguish whole species. When will it end? when the earth is barren and dried up? What are we leaving for our children? Please! stop the madness....

Whales are important to the marine ecosystem in Iceland and if you kill t5hem it will mess up the ocean balance. I think that the whales should not be killed because they are tourist atractions. If you kill them then the amount of tuorists will go down.

Dear Minister,
Please continue your ban on whaling. Surely, it would be better for Iceland to be known as a country that attracts whale-watching rather than whale slaughtering. Killing these beautiful mammals would be a senseless and shameful act.

There's no need to have the blood of innocent whales stain Iceland's beauty.

Please do not allow these amazing creatures to be murdered. They are intelligent, sentient mammals that do more for our planet than most humans will ever realize. Killing these amazing creatures is detrimental to the well-being of mankind, and earth. Do not allow this to happen!!!!

Wales are sentient beings. This is murder. Please find another way to boost your economy other than the slaughter of these incredible animals. Surely we have evolved beyond this brutal activity.

I've always admired Iceland's independence, ability to thrive despite it's small size. Certainly environmentally the use of geothermal energy in creative ways has been amazing. To think that your country would forsake forward thinking to add to its coffers with destroying intelligent, diminishing mammals is horrifying. Please reconsider. An admirer for many years, Cynthia Wall
