April is a dangerous time for whales in Norwegian waters: it marks the start of the whaling season. Without your help up to 1,286 minke whales will die this year from exploding harpoon and rifle wounds.
Norway needs to know that this is unacceptable, NOW.
Norway is one of just three countries defying the international ban on commercial whaling, undermining its reputation as a progressive nation concerned with animal welfare. By adding your signature to this petition, you let the Norwegian government know that you oppose this cruel and unnecessary practice.
WSPA, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, manages this campaign against whaling. Show your support by signing the petition through the petition link above. Help protect these gentle giants of the sea today!
