Iceland has begun killing whales again. Already Icelandic whalers have set sail to begin the cruel slaughter of 100 minke and 150 endangered fin whales this summer. Fifteen minke and six endangered fin whales have already been cruelly harpooned. Campaign Whale is launching our ‘Stop Iceland’s Whale Killers’ campaign to convince the Icelandic Government that whaling is bad for business.

You can help stop Iceland’s whale killers simply avoiding buying Icelandic fish and prawns in protest at the renewed slaughter of whales. We are also calling on leading retailers in the UK, US and Europe – Iceland’s most important export markets – to stop purchasing seafood products from Iceland’s cruel whale killers.

Take Action

The biggest markets for Icelandic seafood are the UK, EU and US. Do you want to buy your fish and prawns from whale killers? If these countries cannot sell their seafood then there is no point in killing whales. So let’s show Iceland that whaling really is bad for business!

Listed below are actions you can take to help our campaign:

1) Pledge to avoid Icelandic seafood

Iceland depends on selling seafood to countries that are strongly opposed to whaling. We can stop the whale killers simply by refusing to buy Icelandic fish and prawns. If you agree, please click here to sign our pledge to avoid ALL Icelandic seafood products until the Country stops killing whales.

2) Contact retailers

Please contact the leading UK retailers below and tell them that you do not want to buy Icelandic seafood until Iceland stops killing whales. Please also ask them to stop buying Icelandic fish and prawns from fishing boats and companies involved in whaling.
