Most whale meat is intended for human consumption, but a recent joint statement by the Animal Welfare Institute, Environmental Investigation Agency, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and the Iruka & Kujira (Dolphin and Whale) Action Network stated that Iceland planned to use some of their whale meat in luxury dog treats.
Using endangered whale meat in dog treats and similar items is an inexcusable waste of life. As you know, Iceland continues to hunt endangered fin whales in defiance of an international ban, and exports most of its whale meat to Japan. Take action now.

Stop the Illegal Python Skin Trade. Less Than 90 Days to Stop the Trade in Polar Bear Parts. By Frances Beinecke, President, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) In less than three months, 176 nations will meet at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to vote on whether to end the profit-driven trade in polar bear pelts, skulls, claws and other body parts. This crucial vote will determine whether polar bears get the life-saving protection they desperately need, or continue their slide further toward extinction.
Even though scientists estimate that two-thirds of the world’s polar bears may become extinct by 2050 due to climate change, they are still hunted as trophies. Every year, the Canadian government allows hundreds of polar bears to be killed and carved up for sale around the world. President Obama has proposed a ban on the trade in polar bears, but another polar bear range state, Canada, is adamantly opposed to it. More than 100,000 NRDC activists have already sent letters in support of a ban on the trade in polar bear parts. Help Stop the Panama Government from Destroying Indigenous Villages. Don't Include Dolphins in Vast New Singapore Aquarium. Author: Judith B. target: S.E.A. Aquarium Management, Singapore signatures: 45,782 we've got 45,782 signatures, help us get to 46,000 by December 3, 2013 At the end of November 2012, an aquarium claimed to be the biggest in the world opened in Singapore.
Although it could offer unparalleled research and educational opportunities, the entire project has been marred by the decision to catch a pod of 25 wild dolphins for exhibition in the aquarium. Dolphins suffer in captivity. A brand new and enormous aquarium could be an amazing attraction for Singapore. Tell the aquarium to arrange the release of the dolphins it already has and to not consider acquiring any more.
President Obama: No More Delays. Join the Mine Ban Treaty Now. On March 1, 2012, the Mine Ban Treaty celebrated the thirteenth anniversary of its entry into force.
[Your comment will be added here] The administration finally announced in December 2009 that the U.S. had initiated a comprehensive review of its landmine policy. However, an announcement has still not been made as to the outcome of this review. Countless American citizens, landmine survivors and campaigners from every corner of the globe have been calling on the U.S. to join the treaty for the last fifteen years. We have waited long enough! Since the policy review began, the administration has received letters of support for the Mine Ban Treaty from 68 Senators, NGO leaders, key NATO allies, 16 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, victims of U.S. landmines, and countless concerned Americans like you.
I appreciate that your administration initiated a review of its landmine policy, but it's been over two and a half years since you made the announcement that the process had begun. Japan - Don't Force Whale Meat on Schoolchildren. Mrs.
