Stop whaling

Sperm whaleWhaling 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!

As the IWC meeting comes to an end, the lives of the humpback whales that were so fiercely debated still hang in the balance. Let's make sure they are ‘off the table’ once and for all.

Please let the USA know how you feel. The USA must stand up for humpbacks

The EU countries that stood up against the Danish application should know that they did the right thing. Please let them know you support their continued opposition to this proposal. Help save the lives of humpback whales whales

IWC61 - Some Closing Thoughts
WDCS is disappointed that Norwegian and Iceland whaling has not even been addressed at this year's annual meeting of the IWC, as well as no action has been taken to strongly condemn the ongoing trade in whale meat.
