Closed petition Call on all remaining countries to ban whaling completely.

Closed on

Some countries, including Iceland Norway and Japan, continue to allow whaling, despite the International Whaling Commission's (IWC) global ban. Encourage these countries to sign up to the current moratorium without objection or reservation.

Whales are a part of many countries cultures or are mammals close to others hearts. Countries that support commercial whaling, notably Iceland, Japan, and Norway, wish to lift the IWC moratorium on certain whale stocks for hunting this is not acceptable. study into these creatures show that they are of high intelligence and would be a shame to lose them. Whales need our help
