Despite an international ban on whaling, the whales still aren't safe. This year the Fisheries Agency of Japan plans to kill more than 1000 whales in the Southern Ocean, including 50 endangered fin whales, 50 threatened humpback whales and 935 minke whales.
With your help, we can stop this cruel and unnecessary killing. Below are some ideas for how you can become involved online.
The Japanese Fisheries Agency (JFA) is planning to build another whaling factory ship to replace its ageing and fire-plagued Nisshin Maru, which is now 20 years old.

Sometimes the most effective action can be just writing a letter. So why not write a letter to the Australian government to demand they do something to stop the Japanese government from packing the IWC with bought votes.
