Take Action for Whales, Dolphins, Seals, and Other Marine Animals

Get started now

Whales, dolphins, and seals are highly intelligent animals. In their ocean homes, they spend their time socialising, travelling, and foraging for food. Researchers from the University of Bristol have even suggested that just like humans, dolphins prefer to hang out with others who share a common interest.

From this page, you’ll be able to complete many PETA action alerts to help marine animals who are trapped in captivity or who may be massacred for their skin or flesh.

Stop the Bloody Whale Slaughter off the Faroe Islands

Off the Faroe Islands, metal hooks are driven into the blowholes of thousands of whales and dolphins each year, and then their spines are cut. The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members’ blood for hours.

Contact the Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands, the Faroe Islands Tourist Board, and the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs now.

Baby Seals Are Being Clubbed to Death in Namibia

Sealers in Namibia use clubs and “hakapiks” to bludgeon seals before stabbing them or cutting them open to drain their blood. The majority of the victims are just babies – still nursing and helpless to defend themselves or escape the barbaric slaughter.

Message the Namibian High Commissioner immediately.

Ask TUI to Stop Supporting Orca Abuse

At SeaWorld, orcas live in cramped concrete tanks. With no physical, mental, or emotional stimulation, they spend their days swimming in endless circles. Despite being fully aware of SeaWorld’s cruel treatment of animals, travel company TUI – formerly known as Thomson Holidays – continues to sell tickets to the abusement park.

Please let TUI UK know your views and urge the company to stop supporting orca abuse.

Stop the Exploitation of Whales and Dolphins in Tourism

ABTA, a travel trade association, is letting dolphins and whales down! The company advises against the promotion of tourist activities such as bullfighting and elephant rides, but not against promoting captive cetacean tourist destinations.

Ask ABTA to revise its Animal Welfare Guidelines and add facilities that exploit dolphins and whales to its “unacceptable practices” list.

There are multiple opportunities to help. As soon as you’ve taken one action below, another will appear automatically in its place. Please add your name to all seven of them.

Please also share this page with your friends, family, and social media followers. Encourage them to join you in helping marine animals.

Baby Seals Are Being Clubbed to Death in Namibia

Your Excellency, I was shocked to learn that Namibia continues to allow the barbaric, senseless slaughter of Cape fur seal pups and bulls. Terrified seal pups are bludgeoned with clubs and hakapiks and stabbed with knives, their blood staining the beaches of Namibia’s coastline. Still nursing from their mothers, these helpless babies have no way to defend themselves or escape the barbaric slaughter. Namibia is the only country in Africa that continues to permit this practice, as your neighbours in South Africa banned it back in 1990. The slaughter casts a dark shadow over your country and is severely damaging to its international reputation. I urge the government of Namibia to reconsider its position and outlaw the seal slaughter as soon as possible. Yours

More Ways to Help

• If you see a travel company advertising trips to SeaWorld or other marine parks, please send a letter asking that it follow in the footsteps of Thomas Cook, STA Travel, and many others by ending all promotions of these cruel parks.
• Please, never visit a marine park, an aquarium, or any other tourist attraction which exploits animals to make money. Instead, learn about majestic and fascinating marine mammals by watching documentaries about their lives spent in their native habitat.
• If you haven’t already done so, watch Blackfish and encourage your friends to do the same.
• Help keep fish in the oceans, where they belong, by refusing to eat them or to purchase them from pet shops.
