Whales Revenge
Every year, thousands of whales are killed inside internationally acknowledged whale sanctuaries, under the guise of “scientific research”. This “science program” doesn’t meet any standards for scientific research and it doesn’t provide any new knowledge about whales. However, the kiling of whales in the name of science is a very profitable business: The commercial sale of whale meat obtained through “scientific whaling” yields over US$ 50 million annually for Japan alone.
The current whaling programmes are poorly controlled and the effects on whale populations are not considered sufficiently. This so-called scientific program needs to stop. Whales Revenge is “ambitious campaign to gather 1 million signatures for a petition to stop whaling”. They had almost 600K signatures this morning, so they could use a few more.
