ALBATROSS PETITION

10,000 albatrosses are killed every year on fishing hooks. They are being killed in such vast numbers that they can't breed fast enough to keep up. This is putting them in real danger of extinction.

19 of the world's 21 species of albatross are threatened seriously now from longlining.
