*[Enwl-eng] Norway is set to kill over 1, 000 minke whales this season!

[ENWL]

            Norway is encouraging the mass slaughter of minke whales, with a 
killing quota almost three times the number killed last year!

                 The 2021 whaling season in Norway is quickly approaching, 
and the whaling industry is out for blood — specifically, minke whale blood. 
This year's killing quota is a whopping 1,278 minke whales! Last year, less 
than half of that amount of whales were killed, which is in line with the 
downward trend in whale product demand in Norway, the increasing public 
distaste for the cruel practice of whaling, and decreased participation from 
fisheries. The Norwegian government should be embracing this trend; instead, 
they are trying to reverse it by keeping killing quotas high and loosening 
regulations that are meant to protect the welfare of these poor whales!

                  The slaughter of a wild minke whale is a terrible thing to 
behold. Whalers onboard their vessels aim a harpoon at a moving, fleeing, 
terrified whale, which is meant to kill the animal on the spot. But more 
often than not, it takes a long time for these whales to die. The huge 
mammals are incapacitated, left to slowly die in immense pain either from 
bleeding out or not being able to rise to the surface for the life-giving 
air they need.

                  Norway is one of only three countries that still allow the 
brutality of commercial whaling. It's time to catch up to the rest of the 
world and put an end to it! Sign the petition and demand that Norway 
drastically lower its minke whale murder quota for 2021, and use this as the 
first step to phasing out whaling entirely!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren

                  P.S. Why is Norway clinging on to the antiquated and cruel 
practice of commercial whaling? Sign the petition to demand they begin to 
phase it out.
