Campaign Whale was first established in 1980, by former Greenpeace
anti-whaling campaigner Andy Ottaway, to campaign for the protection of
whales, dolphins and porpoises, and their habitats. Campaign Whale has
attended annual meetings of the International Whaling Commission (IWC)
since
then, fighting for an end to commercial whaling and greater protection for
all whales. |
|
Campaign Whale is especially concerned at the mass slaughter of thousands
of
smaller whales and dolphins around the world that receive no protection at
all. In particular, Campaign Whale is working to end the mass killing of
Dall's porpoises in Japan, the largest whale hunt in the world, with
around
17,000 animals cruelly slaughtered each year.
Campaign Whale is founder and coordinator of the Global Whale Alliance:
www.global-whale-alliance.org, an alliance of over 150 groups in over 30
countries, fighting the resumption of commercial whaling.
