In 1982 nearly the entire world banned the killing of whales and the sale of whale products. Yet the EIA and the Humane Society International uncovered 147 illegal items being sold on Amazon’s Marketplace including whale bacon, whale stew, whale curry and whale hamburger. The groups are now calling on the public to petition Amazon to stop the sales of whale products.

A short video was produced and released by The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) showing the atrocities of whaling and the sales of whale meat on Amazon. The EIA is an international campaigning organization committed to investigating and exposing environmental crime.
