Writing letters to save the whales

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.

You can also send a letter to your local and state representatives to let them know about your concerns for the welfare and conservation of whales.

Testimonials
 
"I was very pleased to hear about WSPA’s very modern (as opposed to radical) approach towards the relationship between people and animals. This is a relationship we cannot ignore and one which needs to be more harmonious and healthy. WSPA’s humane treatment of the topic, understanding the social conditions without leaving behind the protection of public health, is very important."
