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.

Whales are very nice animals. If this still happens, they will become extinct and they dont hurt people! They are very cute animals. i think that they should stop this.

The killing of whales is cruel. Can't they just collect the skin that falls of when the swim. The skin the floats to the top of the sea and isn't ripped off them. Its disgusting. The people who do it should be ashamed of themselves for killing innocent animals for reasons that are ridiculous. Why do we have to kill animals to show people that killing them is wrong. It's not like the whales go around killing innocent people, we have no right to harm them. To stop them from being free. Its a terrible thing to do!

What information about whales could we possibly need? This is right up there with all the other needless information that has been discovered by the torture of animals. NEEDLESS. The most beautiful things that exist on this planet are continuously being destroyed. PLEASE STOP THIS!

Whales are spectacular animals that need our protection. Japan must stop killing the whales in the name of scientific study.

Its truly disturbing that an atrocity like this is allowed to continue under such brazenly obvious false "scientific" research. Please help to put an end to this abuse on whales now and take the steps to truly protecting the world's oceans.
