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.

How one flag could save whales
Iceland is about to open whaling season and murder 150 majestic, endangered fin whales, while 1700 tons of meat from last year’s kill sits on a boat, waiting to go to Japan. But we’ve helped stop shipments before, and we can do it again!

The ship has just a small window of time to get the meat through the icy northern passage to Japan – and if tiny Caribbean nation St. Kitts and Nevis withdraws the ship’s registration, the delay could be enough to stop it. If St. Kitts acts, the boat is stuck, and Iceland is faced with the scandal of dealing with 1700 tons of rotting whale meat while they launch this year’s slaughter.

So when 1 million sign, we’ll call on the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and tell him he has 24 hours to act, or we’ll run a massive ad campaign in the US – his biggest tourist market – showing how St. Kitts is making this massacre possible. Sign urgently and share widely, there’s just days before the ship leaves.
