Tens of thousands of dolphins and whales are slaughtered each year.

Japan, Norway and Iceland, together kill over 2,000 whales each year.

The whaling issue is a political and complex one, but looked at another way, it couldnt be simpler:

Whaling is cruel, unsustainable and unnecessary.

Whales are perhaps in more danger than they have been since the ban was imposed in 1986.

Whales are intelligent, sentient animals and they deserve and need our protection.
