Save Whales From a Cruel End: Stop Whaling Now
Target: President BushSponsored by: International Fund for Animal Welfare
Whales are still in danger. Since a global ban on whaling in 1985, Japan has continued to kill whales in the name of "scientific research." Yet legitimate scientists agree: there's no need to kill whales in order to study them when non-lethal methods already exist.
In fact, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) has clearly stated it does not need the data obtained from killing whales: passing resolutions critical of Japan's research whaling program forty-one times!
Yet Japanese whalers continue to kill whales in horribly cruel fashion, harpooning them with explosive tips and then dragging them onto whale ships. Japan actually sells the meat from this "research" to restaurants. And now Japan is increasing the slaughter: doubling the number of whales killed in an international marine mammal sanctuary.
Unless they are stopped now, Japan will launch a return to full-scale industrial whaling; the last of which once drove whales to the brink of extinction. Only the tremendous resources and clout of the United States has a chance to stop Japan from destroying the world's whales.
Please sign the petition asking President Bush to oppose Japan's bid for permanent membership into the United Nations Security Council until they comply with international laws protecting whales.

It is absolutelyy immoral to kill animals for research, but to lie and sell the product for food is even worse. Whales are beautiful, intelligent creatures who deserve to live free in the ocean without interference from humans.

Scientific research is just an excuse to slaughter whales. Help is needed to protect these magnificent creatures and I object mostly strongly that they are murdered like this. It is my planet as well and I demand I have the right to what happens to the whales. I am asking that the states do not allow Japan to bid for permanent membership to the United Nations Security Council. They have a terrible record in wildlife conservation. They must agree to protect whales for the future.

Whales are beautiful intelligent creatures and every single one should be protected. Whales do not need to be killed to be studied.

The necessity of whale products went out of fashion over 100 years ago. Please help stop the slaughter of these magnificent creatures.

These cetaceans are of much more scientific value ALIVE. Slaughtering them is an inhumane and disgusting practice that should be ended as soon as possible.
