Stop the whalers

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.

Stop the whalers
The Icelandic whaling fleet is about to leave port to hunt and kill another 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!

As the whalers sharpen their harpoons for this year’s hunt, their boss is trying to ship his whale meat to Japan right now. Over 1,700 tonnes of it is currently on a boat waiting to leave Norway. It has a permit to cross the icy passage between Russia and the North Pole from July 1st - but if a tiny island simply removes their flag from the vessel it can’t leave port! St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean have registered the boat carrying the fin whale meat. This island nation relies heavily on tourism and we can put their reputation on the line by throwing them into our giant global spotlight right now!
 
International pressure has already made European countries shun this shameful trade. Let’s get St. Kitts and Nevis to stop supporting the whalers and start saving whales!  When we reach 1 million signatures we’ll deliver the petition to their government and create a media storm in the US, where most of their tourists come from. Sign now and share with everyone.
