Response (Support Agent) - 02/02/2009 11:41 AM
Thank you for your interest in whale conservation. The United States is committed to advancing the global conservation and management of large whale populations through science-based policies and leadership in the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The United States continues to view the commercial whaling moratorium as a necessary conservation measure and believes that lethal scientific whaling is unnecessary in modern whale conservation management. The United States supports the IWC as the only international management body to monitor and regulate whaling and believes the IWC should be preserved as the premiere international forum for resolving current conservation issues, coordinating critical research, and developing international agreement on whale conservation.
Thank you for contacting the U.S. Department of State.

Whalers fire water at activists in Antarctic Ocean
EXCERPT
Under International Whaling Commission rules, the mammals may be killed for research but not for commercial purposes. Opponents say the Japanese research expeditions are simply a cover for commercial whaling, which was banned in 1986.
The whalers opened up on conservationists on one raft with a water cannon, knocking one man off his feet and leaving him with cuts and bruises, Watson told The Associated Press by satellite phone.

Super Bowl Commercials A Tirade of Animal Abuse
Is it just me or did I see one super bowl commercial after another with animals abuse content.
One where the football players dance round, one of them kicked a lizard off the screen
Another one I believe it was General Electric a animated tin man zapped a bird on a wire
in another one a women throws a cat in to the ceiling and it comes out of the other end letting out a cream while crashing on the floor
Another one a Koala bear gets repeatedly punched in to the face.
I guess this is supposed to be funny.
I don't think it is funny and it marks a new low of bad taste and is promoting animals abuse.
'Veggie Love': PETA's Banned Super Bowl Ad
I am disgusted! So NBC thought the PETA commercial was too explicit. Lingerie girls rubbing vegetables on their bodies is offensive but people throwing cats around or punching koalas in the face is not.
Obviously NBC thinks abusing animals is not explicit. What are we teaching our kids, nothing but violence. We should not be surprised when we hear them punching kittens, cutting up small animals and thinking it funny. We are obviously teaching it to them. NBC sucks!!!
The only uplifting animals commercial was the one with my beloved Clydesdale and one with animated lady bugs and crickets carrying off a coke bottle. Those were nice, I will remember them with positive thoughts.

Please help the Bering Sea ecosystem to survive
Fur seals, endangered Steller sea lions, and sea birds are starving in the Bering Sea because their food supplies of Alaskan pollock fish are being depleted.
Pollock is the world's largest food fishery. Used to make McDonald's fish sandwiches and frozen fish sticks, the population has decreased by a stunning 62 percent since 2003. Factory fishing trawlers take over a million tons of pollock out of the ocean each year. The fish cannot reproduce and recover as quickly as they are being fished.
Multi-national corporations are making a billion dollars a year by overfishing pollock, while local wildlife face extinction. About a million tons of pollock are dragged out of the Bering Sea every year.
For years, Greenpeace has warned that industrial fishing would destroy this fragile environment, but the fisheries managers have buckled under pressure from industry.
When Canadian policy makers ignored the warning signs about declining cod populations, the resulting collapse put 40,000 fishermen out of work and caused far-reaching changes to the ecology of the northwest Atlantic. Today, this same scenario is possible in the Bering Sea. The repercussions of this could be disastrous not only for local communities and economies, but for the many wildlife who call this area home.
Thank you for helping the Bering Sea ecosystem survive.
