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!
Dear Minister Guofinnsson,
I am deeply disappointed to hear that Iceland is considering issuing permits to hunt whales this spring, and I urge you to reconsider this plan.
As a wildlife lover and conservationist, I am concerned about the future of whales, especially as climate change causes rapid changes in their ocean habitats with unknown impacts on these majestic creatures.
And as a traveler and consumer, I would strongly consider visiting Iceland to whale-watch, but only if your country maintains the ban on whaling that you implemented in August of 2007.
Please do not issue any permits to kill whales, and protect your beautiful nation's whales in stead.
