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.

There are so many reasons why whaling is wrong. Too many to say
# 104,897:
i am doing a school assignment on whaling and the information i havefound what is outragous. Even if whales needed to be killed for scienctific research, they would kill maybe on or two but not thousands a year! we do have a say and lets make ours count!

What have whales done to deserve such fates that the Japanese have in store for them? The 'scientific research' justification is only a loophole for them to kill these magnificent creatures for meat. They are flagrantly flouting the law for no other reason than to make money. The Japanese need to be sent a clear message that whaling is no longer acceptable to the USA or to most of the rest of the world.

What is there to decide? If we continue to destroy entire species. We will inevitably destroy our ourselves and more important our children and grandchildren.

Dear President Bush, Please take action now against the Japanese whalers, I understand this cruelty is still going on and it is totally unacceptable, there is absolutely no reason for the deaths of these whales, it is just a cover up, they are not being studied at all, we are not stupid, we know the real reason behind it, and it must stop NOW!

"What do they know - all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka." (I.Singer)

Not all Japanese people support whaling, this is something that some people don't seem to understand. Despite this fact, whaling should still be stopped.

USA should be leading the world in stopping this and other atrocities
