To parties of the International Whaling Commission:
As citizens from around the world, we call on you to retain the international ban on commercial whaling as the core policy of the International Whaling Commission in its pursuit of conservation of whales.

Within days, a proposal will be unveiled that could legalize commercial whale hunting for the first time in 24 years.

Once the proposal becomes public, member countries of the International Whaling Commission will make a decision to support it -- or push back.

An outcry now -- in the days and hours before these countries decide their positions -- could stiffen the spines of those who want to protect whales by keeping whaling illegal. Avaaz has launched a last-moment petition which will be delivered to the delegates to the IWC every time we raise 100,000 signatures -- sign here and forward this message:
