Thanks sharing this petition Sara. I don't know if I am going to sign it yet. I need to understand what research is being done. However, if it is just of researching perfume and makeup and other frivolous things, I will sign the petition. I think that I have a lot of reading to do on the Radical Blogger Blog.

Thank's for a great post. I am an animal lover too and It's so sad to hear about what human did to them

This is incredibly sad. "Research" seems to be a code word, the one thing a lot of people won't complain about. I sent Canon a letter about the matter, as a faithful customer, since they advertise about 'shoot it with a camera' ...

Stephen Pinker is one of people who's been talking about moral progress. In the Dark Ages, in Europe, they used to burn cats to death in public for peoples' amusement. Today, it's a struggle, but a lot of people in the world believe it's wrong - immoral - to inflict suffering on another creature if it can be avoided. That seems to apply more to people like everyone reminding this, than the people who decide that whaling for "research" is ok. But the more of us believe it, the more that belief spreads, like a positive feedback loop.

I'm from Canada. I don't eat whale meat, and I think it's very sad to hunt them.

But let's say you live on a volcanic rock and you must fish the seas to survive. And you live this way for thousands of years. Will whaling suddenly cease when the need for their meat is no longer necessary?

The whaling must stop, but charging in with a sanctimonious ethnocentric attitude will not deter these hunters from doing what they feel is their birthright .

I have mammals in my backyard going extinct, but that hasn't stopped local activists from traveling halfway around the world to protest the whale hunt. They make a big noise, but ultimately, they show their own arrogance.

If you want to change the behavior of others, education can be far more effective than intimidation.

I realize this pitch is just for a petition, but I'll still tread carefully before endorsing something.

@Monavie;

Two things:

(1) Japan isn't trying to drive whales extinct. How would it benefit whalers to kill off the last of their pray? Extinction is one possible outcome of whaling policy ... but nobody in their right mind thinks Japan is trying to drive whales out of life. To say they are, is to set up straw men.

(2) The Yangtze-River dolphin is probably extinct ... in China! You can't say "Japan is trying to make whales go extinct just like their Yangtze River dolphins."

If we want to be taken seriously, we need to start by clearly speaking the truth. The #1 thing people can do to derail an effort like this, is to make the people behind it look ignorant. We all need to be careful not to provide good sound bites for anybody who has an interest in whaling.

Im not having problem with the eskimos killing whales, bears and any other animal, there every single part of the animal, and the skin they make clothes from. But brutally killing animal like tigers, etc. for chinese medicine, thats not ok.

Nice site Sara and it is very nice to see that someone is posting on Les's cause. I have always clicked with Les very well and consider him to be a life long friend I hope to meet one day, which may not happen because he has 4 girls who I am sure drive him nuts. Na I don't think they do but I like to bug him about it once and a while..lol

You guys are all so awesome! I can't believe the great response this post has received. I rarely post anything unrelated to making money online, but every once in awhile something like this really grabs hold of me and this is the biggest audience I have access to.

I am so happy to hear that so many of you are animal lovers and feel the same way I do about stuff like this. When it comes to hunting for survival like Anne mentioned, I can understand the reasoning. However, blatant brutality is never okay and I hope the power of the blogosphere can make a difference here.

Thanks again for all your great comments and support - I don't know Les, but I'd also like to thank him for bringing this to my attention.
