...so, why do the UK and the rest of the EU
allow ships carrying whale meat and products to dock at their
ports?
Icelandic and Norwegian whalers
have transferred whale products through Southampton, Rotterdam and Hamburg among
others.
By allowing ships containing whale
products to pass through its ports - the EU is helping the trade in whale
products and supporting commercial whaling. And by accepting port fees from
shippers, EU countries are profiting from whaling!
Shipping whale meat across the
globe without stopping at EU ports is very expensive. Transporting it by air is
even more costly. If we can close off EU ports to whale cargo we can hit the
whalers in the pocket and will be another step closer to stopping whaling
forever.

DONATE TO OUR CAMPAIGN
Your support is greatly
appreciated. It's people like you that will help us to stop whaling once and for
all.
Whaling is cruel and completely
unnecessary. Together we will consign the slaughter to history.
With best wishes
