Countries are now deciding their first responses &#8212; and they&#8217;re watching public reaction closely.

They need to hear from us now. Avaaz has launched an urgent petition to show our leaders their people want to protect whales, not hunt, kill, and sell them. Already, 400,000 people have signed &#8212; and the petition is being sent to the International Whaling Commission each time it reaches another 100,000 signatures.
