The International Whaling Commission has just unveiled a proposal to legalize commercial whale hunting for the first time in 24 years. Time is running out to oppose it.

Now, other countries are deciding whether support it or push back, including the US which is drafting plans to support whaling. Please sign the petition. It’ll only take a second. Avaaz will deliver this petition to the Commission delegates each time it adds another 100,000 signatures — and please help spread the word! Use the ShareThis button. There isn’t much time left.

And if you are super awesome – sign this petition to Obama, so that the US opposes their considerations to legalize it too.
