Days to save whales

To St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Timothy Harris:

As concerned global citizens who care about the protection of endangered whales we call upon you to immediately remove the St. Kitts and Nevis flag from The Winter Bay. This vessel is carrying 1,700 tonnes of endangered fin whale meat and is bound for Japan. You have the power and the international responsibility to block this shipment immediately by removing your flag from the vessel. We also call upon you to stop supporting Japan's lethal research in the Southern Ocean at the IWC and support whale conservation instead.

Days to save whales
The Icelandic whaling fleet is about to leave port to hunt and kill 150 endangered fin whales. We've come close to shutting down this barbaric operation before and now we have a chance to end it for good!

Whalers claim their hunt is legitimate by selling meat to countries like Japan. But a ship full of 1,700 tonnes of slaughtered whales is about to take off across the icy waters and and if we can delay, their route could freeze, their cargo spoil, and that would embarrass the whalers and make this year’s hunt look like a waste of money and time..

The boat has a flag of the tiny nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. It’s up to us to create an urgent massive call to the Prime Minister to hold the boat in port for a few more crucial days. Add your voice, then ask everyone you know to join -- Avaaz staff will flood the port with our voices, one beautiful beacon of light for every ten of us who sign.
