Greenland is planning to make a request to the International Whaling
Commission (IWC) to kill 10 humpback whales a year, starting in
2010. WDCS believes that the proposed hunt is unjustified and should
be opposed by member governments of the IWC.
You can help us save the lives of these humpback whales by sending a protest e-mail today to European Union member governments urging them to reject the request.
Greenland’s hunters do
not need to kill more whales for their subsistence – they actually have
a surplus, and sell whole whales to corporate wholesalers that sell frozen and
vacuum packed whale meat and blubber through supermarkets all over
Greenland. Please help us now by calling on members of the European Union to vote against Greenland’s request to the IWC's meeting this June to kill humpback whales. Thank you for your support.
