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.

whaling is an act of piracy and should be treated as such. any vessel sighted engaging in this despicable practice by naval forces should be fired upon with torpedoes,gunfire or anti-shiping missiles,by surface warships,submarines or military aircraft and sunk without warning! navies of the world,have a go at these criminals!

There is no need to tell President Bush and/or anyone for the matter because everybody knows that whaaling is WRONG!!! What we need is to set a way for Japan and all other countries that are doing such a BARBARIC thing to STOP once and for all! If Mr Bush really wants it ... he will be able to do so which I hope he will!

This is such a mute issue how many enviromentalists have to protest the killing of whales til they are blue in the face before you guys in your ivory towers start to listen and do something seriously to end the senseless killings of innocent mammels for scietific purposes?? One is able to learn more so very much more from a living creature than a dead one!!

Whaling is archaic, cruel and selfish. These mammals are intelligent, and can teach us many things without killing them. There is a price to pay for the unethical slaughter of the earth's inhabitants.

I say that the Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace organizations should be give torpedo equipped submarines to do with as they see fit (only half serious of course). However, whaling needs to be banned worldwide, period. There are no reasons, "scientific" or otherwise, for a whale to be killed in our world today. Stop the massacre!

Lets not keep on being stupid The best way to study these magnificent animals is in the wild, alive and free. If they are being killed to be studied(yeah right, how stupid do you think we are) there will be no reason to study them because they will all have been murdered.

We saw what whaling can do to the population of the Earths whales in the past. Why regress back to an ancient outdated and cruel practise? The Earths whales are precious!!!!
