"I was appalled to hear – on Earth Day of all days – that the Inter­na­tional Whal­ing Com­mis­sion has put for­ward a deal that would legal­ize com­mer­cial whal­ing for the first time in a generation.

Even worse, the Obama Admin­is­tra­tion has backed this deadly pro­posal, which would sus­pend the inter­na­tional ban on whal­ing and make it legal once again to kill whales for profit.

Dur­ing his cam­paign, Pres­i­dent Obama promised Amer­ica he would oppose the killing of these mag­nif­i­cent crea­tures. It’s time for you and me to hold him to that promise."

Poor whales - still an on-going issue. I heard the ex Australian Prime Minister was going to send out the Navy to deal with whale hunters. I'm not sure what the latest news is, now that he has been ousted.
