Although most of the world supports the protection of whales, a few countries still want to open the seas to widespread commercial whaling.

Commercial whaling is neither humane nor sustainable and has no place in the 21st century. If whaling resumes, we will see the decline of many species and the possible extinction of other species. People interested in protecting the whales can help spread the word that the whales haven't been saved—yet.

	International Whaling Commission The IWC is the intergovernmental body responsible for the conservation of whales and the management of whaling.

	Companies Linked to Whaling HSI asks that companies linked to whaling currently or in the past take responsibility for their actions.
