PAOV — When 5th and 6th graders in an Ontario elementary school learned Japanese research vessels killed 333 Antarctic minke whales, and that 122 of those whales were pregnant, they decided to act. The International Court of Justice ruled Japan's Antarctic whaling program illegal in 2014 — will you sign and share to help protect the whales?

Japanese research vessels harpooned, killed and necropsied 333 Antarctic minke whales during an annual hunt last summer — and 122 of those whales were pregnant. Despite Japan's claims that continued whale hunts like these are purely scientific, the country also allows whale flesh to be sold in markets and restaurants and ultimately plans to revive its commercial whaling industry.
The International Court of Justice ruled Japan's Antarctic whaling program illegal in 2014.
