Despite a ban on commercial whaling, whales are still hunted. A few countries still kill thousands of the animals each year and want to re-open the seas to full-scale commercial whaling. HSI is calling for a global whale sanctuary to end all whaling for commercial purposes forever.

Commercial whaling has no place in the modern world. We no longer need meat or other products from whales, and there are increasing health concerns from consuming them. There is no humane way to kill whales, and they already face many other threats, including entanglement in debris and fishing gear, chemical and noise pollution and climate change. All commercial whaling must stop before we once again see a decline or extinction of many species. Help spread the word that the whales haven't been saved—yet. Join our campaign to "save whales, not whaling" and let governments and corporations know you want the slaughter to end.
