Petition Introduce sanctions for Whaling nations if the hunting of Whales does not cease.

These countries are hunting a protected species on the pretense they're for scientific research. In reality the Whale meat is for public consumption. The three countries actually trade the meat between themselves despite an international trade ban. Whaling quotas are actually increasing.
