whaling

Dear friends,
The International Whaling Commission is meeting in Morocco to vote on a proposal that would legalize commercial whale hunting. Giving in to commercial hunting is a slippery slope. Once a backing is given to commercial whale hunting. The next step, in a few years, will be for the hunting countries to negotiate a higher level of quota. At what level of quota will the world be able to say no more whaling or no more increases in quota? 
Join me to say no to whaling.
Sign the Avaaz petition (https://secure.avaaz.org/en/whales_last_push/?fp) or join the effort of other anti-whaling organisations; Write also to the decision makers in your country.
