Whaling is cruel, unsustainable and unnecessary. Commercial whaling was ‘banned’ in 1986, but over 30,000 whales have been killed since then by Japan, Iceland and Norway and pressure is mounting for the ban to be lifted. Join our campaign to ensure legal whaling does not return and to put an end to ALL commercial whaling forever!
