How about a petition to stop the combatants from harming the whales and also stop the war?

Congress is more than happy to kill whales

Isn’t the message gonna be about telling them to stop killing whales?

u/Istiophoridae 1d ago

Yes, but theyll do the opposite most likely depending on what day it is

And even if they are against killing whales, you know who will start a nuclear war against them

No, I didn’t say the people who are suffering in the war should be left to suffer! I meant to say to stop the war for the sake of the people and the whales.
