Closed Stop Faroes whaling

Closed on

Every year, up to a thousand or more pilot whales and dolphins are cruelly slaughtered in the Faroe Islands for meat no-one should eat.

Faroese Health Chiefs have warned that pilot whale contains high levels of toxic pollutants that threaten the whales and the people eating them.

We call upon the Government to protest in the strongest terms to the Faroese Government and call for an end to whaling on public health, conservation and animal welfare grounds.
