As a candidate Barack Obama declared that commercial whaling was “unacceptable.” Now as President, his International Whaling Commission (IWC) delegates are currently backing a plan that would legitimize commercial whaling for the first time in over 20 years.

Androcles wrote Obama: "As a candidate you said commercial whaling was 'unacceptable." Changing your policy on whaling is more than 'unacceptable' -- it's horrifying. The world has moved beyond promoting mass murder of species. I do not want my America to join the nations who pursue such ignorant practices. All of knowledge and all of history stand against mass killings as an acceptable answer to anything in life itself. Stewardship of the earth has to replace 'anything for business.' I plead that you do not go backward. Stand with life, not death. Please."
