In days, one Icelandic man will set out on his summer hobby to harpoon the brains out of gigantic fin whales, then chop them into pieces and ship their meat to Japan to be sold as dog food! But there is one way to stop him before the slaughter: block the trade before it leaves Europe.

The Dutch are quietly allowing tycoon Kristjan Loftsson to traffic these shameful carcasses via Rotterdam! It’s outrageous -- these majestic creatures are threatened with extinction and they are being sliced up to feed dogs! If we expose the Dutch government's bloody trade and cause a public storm right now, they will see it is not worth the reputational risk and close the trade through this port. If the whalers can’t sell the meat, we could stop the hunt before it starts.

We have just a few days until the whalers set out to sea  -- let's build an urgent global call to force Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to refuse safe harbour to supply canned whale. Sign the petition now and send this to everyone! Avaaz will deliver it with a massive pod of fake slaughtered whales to the PM’s office -- for every 10,000 petition signatures we'll add another whale to the pod so the government won't be able to turn a blind eye.
