What the petition asks
Blue Seas Protection wants the Government to send a clear message to all countries that the UK will not tolerate the hunting of dolphins and whales!
Suspend trade deals with countries that hunt dolphins or whales.
Stop seeking trade deals with countries that hunt dolphins or whales.
In 1982 the International Whaling Commission decided that there should be a pause in commercial whaling, and this remains in place today.
Despite this, Endangered whales and dolphins are being unjustly targeted, hunted and killed.
Whale meat contains high levels of toxins and chemicals that if consumed are a danger to human health.
Whales and dolphins (cetaceans) are a vital part of the oceans ecology and life in the ocean.
Therefore they need to be protected; so the hunting and killing of cetaceans must stop.
