Since the inception of the 1986 Moratorium on Commercial Whaling, over 40,000 whales have been slaughtered for profit!!

The Whaling Moratorium is not being enforced!

Its time to enforce the moratorium!!

Its time to Save the Whales Again!!!

Right now, despite the worldwide moratorium on commercial whaling, fisherman from Japan, Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands are going to kill over 25,000 dolphins, whales, and porpoises this year selling their meat for profit.

Masayuki Komatsu, Japan’s former Fisheries Minister had this to say: “There are so many whales …they are the cockroaches of the sea… At the IWC, we want to aim for the resumption of commercial whaling.”

Since 1986, Japan has defied the moratorium by killing thousands of whales under the guise of “lethal scientific research”. The IWC does not need scientific information obtained by killing whales and has stated that Japan’s scientific whaling data is “not required for management”.

Former, Australian Government Minister Robert Hill stated that: “The coincidence of whales ending up in the fish shops in Tokyo would lead some to believe that there were perhaps at least some other motives than  just scientific enlightenment …I think that most people accept that the Japanese wish to hunt whales for commercial purposes and utilize the scientific provision in the Convention as a loophole.

Norway has also defied the commercial whaling moratorium, killing over 500 minke whales per year as well. The IWC has consistently and repeatedly issued Resolution after Resolution demanding that both Japan and Norway stop, but both countries simply ignore the Resolutions as they have no teeth.

The only way to stop whaling is through political and economic means and the Biden Administration needs to take more action because recent polls have shown that over 75% of Americans oppose whaling and want the US Government to take action to stop it.

The Japanese & Norwegian Governments are all subsidizing the killing of whales!

It’s Time to Stop Whaling Now Before It’s Too Late!!

It’s Time to Save the Whales Again!!!
