World Against Whaling

SUPPORT - EDUCATE - INFORM

World Against Whaling was created in 2007 by a user of YouTube - fred100446 - as a mean to create a central petition website that would link all the anti-whaling organisations and campaigns on one site, rather then searching each one seperately. Today Fred is still the founder and owner of WAW.

WAW history started on YouTube after Fred labelled one of his many videos - "World Against Whaling". After the creation of several videos, hundreds of users subscribed and YouTube was no longer viable to expand and was to restrictive for the listing all the nesserary information about whaling. Therefore a 'freewebs' website was created with the title of WAW under the banner of "TOGETHER WE CAN STOP WHALING".

WAW 'freewebs' sites main purpose was just to list petitions, but it became more when people requested to join the WAW team. Since the creation of the free hosted site WAW expanded to multiple scoial networking sites such as Facebook, Muspace, Vimeo and Care2. WAW also partnered up with several other groups to work together and stop whaling.

WAW membership quickly grew with hundreds of supporters over all WAW web platforms. Due to increasing activity on the 'freewebs' site a larger bandwidth site was needed. Although since we are only a online group with no donation system we could not afford a domain and hosting. Therefore WAW 'freewebs' site had to be compacted to fit in the requirments of the maximum pages and had to shut down at times to be able to stretch out the bandwidth so we could at least stay open for the whole month.

However during 2009 the owner of the Sea Shepherd Forums donated the domain 'worldagainstwhaling.org' and also provided server space to host our site. This allowed us to have morie exposure, more traffic and more pages for WAW.... and ultimately to help stop whaling!

(Para)Military action (with the silent content of some goverments) must be taken against them bastards whalers...This could end up whaling in a matter of some weeks..Man I would love to be part of such action..Fighting for something THAT meaningful..! And giving whalers a taste of their poison..

I'm afraid that peaceful contests or even a little more agressive actions, can't give the results needed..but they 're always welcome.

For those who do not know yet:

''During the evening of the 23rd of April, conservation commandos from Agenda 21 slipped onboard the Norwegian whaling ship Skarbakk in Henningsvaer in the Norwegian Lofoten Islands.''

We came to Henningsvaer. We saw the Skarbakk. We sank the bastard Agenda 21

Agenda 21: RESPECT!
