Since the international ban in 1986 thousands of whales have been relentlessly hunted due to loopholes in the ban, allowing countries like Japan and Norway to hunt whales for "scientific" research.

It has been proved a numerous amount of times that Japan and Norway (for example) are using Whale products illegally on the markets. These 'illegal' whale products include: Meat, Make-up, Clothing, Accessories, Oil and many more.

To add to this problem the ways in which the whales are taken from their home and killed is by all means inhumane. Instead of using painless fast methods of killing, Whalers use brutal equipment to destroy the animal leaving it to suffer for up to several hours before dieing.

These methods include grenade harpoons which are explosives attached to the end of the harpoon which is fired up to 30 inches into the mammal before being detonated causing extreme pain and suffering to the animal leaving it to die a slow death.

An even slower and more painful method of hunting whales is the "cold" harpoon, this is a plain harpoon shot into the mammals head and upper body, piercing its lungs and causing suffocation. in most cases it takes several shots to kill the whale because it takes so long before the once graceful creature gets towed behind the vessel before being processed for market.

Seven out of the 13 great whale species are still endangered or vulnerable after decades of protection. A return to whaling would definitely sign the death warrant for some of these species.

I believe that if we can get as many signatures as possible and make people aware of what is REALLY going on with The Whale massacre we can at LEAST help organisations like Greenpeace achieve results. Either by gaining people's awareness or donations.

This may seem like an uncontrollable cause.. but the main thing you can do as a individual is to be aware of whats happening and to influence others too. If possible to donate to Greenpeace and similar organisations you are helping to provide them with things they need to continue THEIR hunt against Whaling.

GUYS IF U WANNA POST STUPID NAMES GO FOR IT, BUT ITS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND YOUR POST IS GUNNA COUNT ANYWAY... SO JUST REMEMBER YOUR NOT AS ENTERTAINING AS YOU MAY THINK!!!
