STOP the Whale Hunt!

1. Whales should not be commercially hunted.
2. The killing of whales in the South Ocean Whale Sanctuary should be banned.

Environment - Conservation and Environmental Education

The fate of the whales hangs in balance. Greenpeace's ship, the Esperanza, has successfully stopped the Japanese whale hunt for over two weeks, saving more than 100 whales. But each year the Japanese whaling fleet exploit a loophole in the moratorium on commercial whaling, killing almost 1,000 whales annually.

We need YOUR help to support Greenpeace’s efforts to end all whaling. With the Facebook Giving Challenge, NOW is the best time to get involved.

With your support of just $10, we can win more than $10,000 to wage our campaign. We're so close - we just need a few more donations to secure our spot!

From sending our ship to the Southern Oceans, to pressuring politicians - the real hands behind the harpoons, we can save whales – now, and forever. Join this cause and give $10 to help stop commercial whaling once and for all.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

1) Join this cause.

2) Donate $10.
If you want to give more, please consider spacing it out over several days, as there are daily awards of $1,000 for the Cause with the most people donating per day. (The minimum donation is $10).

3) Tell all your friends!
* Click on “invite” or even better "Ask Friends to Donate" in the menu on the right. Select all your friends (you are limited to invite 20 friends a day). Use the “add a personal message” option when you send invites to personalize your appeal to help stop the whale hunt.

* Use Facebook’s “Share” feature on this page to share a link to our Cause with others in your network. Include a message for them to join and donate.

* If you have a Facebook Group, post an announcement on your Discussion Board with a link to this Cause and info about the Giving Challenge Contest.

With your support, Greenpeace can continue to fund this effort and bring whaling to an end.

The Facebook Cause Giving Challenge ends on February 1. Please donate, and help spread the word today!
