You can help save the whales by writing letters to urge members of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), your legislators and foreign leaders to use their authority to protect whales and to maintain the current ban on commercial whaling and to extend this restriction to scientific whaling. The IWC is an international body of governments that is responsible for managing the way in which whales are treated and used globally. Please send your letters to your IWC representative and encourage them to do all that they can to protect whales for this generation and the next. Request that they reconvene the Whale Working Group to address whale killing methods and welfare issues.
