am writing today to strongly urge you to end whaling in Japan. As you are well aware, Many people frown on the whaling situation and whale meat is not necessary anymore. Whaling is both cruel and inhumane and I am one of the millions of people throughout the world that is calling for its abolition.
Whaling is an outmoded and barbaric form of hunting that has no place in our modern society and needs to be stopped. .

The current animal protection laws ban the killing and mistreating of animals in shows . This antiquated law needs to be updated and revised so that we can effectively end the killing of hundreds of thousands of gentile giants.
Whaling is a merciless and torturous way of life, and I strongly urge you to take a stance in ending animal cruelty by supporting the ban on whaling today.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my comments. I eagerly await your response.
