Whales suffer long, painful deaths from whaling — let’s put an end to their misery. Support ocean conservation with VAKOVAKO.
The current state of whaling in 2024
Despite the 1986 ban by the International Whaling Commission, Japan has continued to practice whaling. The UN Court of Justice determined Japan’s whaling practices illegal — but that has not stopped the industry. To get around regulations, whaling occurs in places like Taiji island; where the sea actually turns red from the blood of small whales and dolphins that are slaughtered.
Norway is responsible for killing the most whales annually. In 1993, Norway rejected the International Whaling Commission’s ban on commercial whaling. To this day, they continue to conduct whaling, allowing up to 917 whales to be killed each year.
Stop the slaughter
Whaling has been criticized not just for decreasing whale populations, but for the inhumane nature of the practice itself. No regulations exist for whaling humanely. The majority of whales that are slaughtered experience long, painful deaths from harpoon grenades, suffering for as long as 25 minutes.
It's time to support organizations fighting to finally end whaling once and for all. With VAKOVAKO, you can support organizations who are advocating for a future with peaceful OCEANS.
