Whales have inhabited the earth's oceans for millions of years and play a
vital role in maintaining the balance in ocean ecosystems. During the last few centuries
commercial whaling has depleated most populations of great whales down to a fraction of
their original numbers.
Commercial whaling and the
accompanying market for whale products have always and will always lead to legal and/or
illegal overcatches of whales. The whales will not be saved until the ban on commercial
whaling is followed by all nations.
NORWAY MUST STOP BREAKING INTERNATIONAL
AGREEMENTS AND STOP COMMERCIAL WHALING.
