Dear Mr. Junichiro Koizumi,

I am outraged by the slaughter of dolphins and whales that takes place in Japan. The images of bloody red water clearly show the world that Japan has little respect for the state of the world's oceans.

Many scientific studies show that the oceans are in decline. We must take whatever actions are necessary to stop their over-exploitation and to protect the creatures that live in them. These dolphins do not belong to Japan. It is an unthinkable waste that they will likely end up as a meat product or deceptively sold as whale meat, polluted with toxic levels of mercury and cadmium, killing the people that eat it.

In addition, the methods used to kill these animals are cruel. Driving the dolphins into a cove, confusing them with loud noises, and then spearing them, leaving them to slowly die is an inhumane method of fishing. This action is disgraceful and has caused much disappointment in the international community.

We demand that Japan permanently and immediately renounce and stop this slaughter.

Sincerely,

Prefectural Office of Wakayama

Wakayama-ken, 640-8269 Japan

It is madness to continue to decimate the Ocean's populations, and to expect that our human species can survive. We must transcend our "hunter" past and begin to be world citizens in a new way: sustainability and moving away from consumption of unsustainable foods. We will not survive otherwise.

I love whales and dolphins but not for food.Only to admire their majestic beauty when they are alive in their natural habitat.They are meant to be in the ocean and to stay in the ocean.I think it should stop and it will end a lot of conflicts.It really is not necessary is it?Make peace with yourself and come to know it is not a good thing.save the whales and dolphins!!!!!!!
