WORLD WORLDWIDE ICELAND - ANIMALS - care2PETITIONS - Iceland approved the slaughter of 128 endangered whales

Speak out to save whales from gruesome deaths from harpooning hunts. Iceland Is Letting People Hunt 128 Endangered Whales In a Cruel and Bloody Way Sign Now    Dear friends, Whale hunting is an extremely painful and cruel way to kill animals. Animals that haven't even done anything wrong — they're simply living their lives, swimming in their waters, when suddenly humans attack them with harpoons, leaving them to bleed out and suffer.   This heinous form of hunting is so grotesque and so cruel, every single nation in the world has banned it — except for three countries, which are Iceland, Norway, and Japan. And now the government of Iceland has just approved a new license for whale-hunting this year. It will allow a company called Hvalur to slaughter 128 fin whales — even though fin whales are already an endangered species.   Climate change and pollution are already wreaking havoc on whales' habitats, further putting them in harm's way. On top of that, new research shows that previous whale hunting from the 1900s wiped out 99% of Eastern North Pacific fin whales around the world! There's way to excuse inflicting such pain and suffering on innocent animals. Help us speak out to save the whales! Sign the petition to demand the Icelandic government finally catch up with the rest of the world and ban this disgusting, bloody practice forever!    Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Approving a slaughter of this species that is already in danger of extinction is irresponsible and unconscionable. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
