Overexploit, cheat, deplete. The cycle of greed behind the global whaling industry has driven one whale population after another toward oblivion. Even after decades of protection, it is still unknown whether or not some species will recover.
Under the disguise of "scientific whaling," more than 30,000 whales have been killed since the International Whaling Ban was put in place in 1982. Whales can be researched without being killed!
Help put and end to this unjust and cruel slaughter of this majestic species! Tell the Japanese government what you think of their views regarding whaling for food and scientific reasons. Get your voice heard!

Dear Yasuo Fukuda, I am deeply opposed to the commercial and scientific whale hunts being conducted by Japan. Many species of whales are endangered and very close to becomming extinct. Selling whale meat for consumption is as unsafe as it is cruel. Whale blubber is found to be contaminated with various halogenated-organic contaminants such as PCBs, DDT and brominated flame retardants. If someone ate a piece of whale blubber the size of a thumb, they would be dosing themselves many times over the advisory limits of some of the most toxic compounds known to humans! Whaling for scientific reasons is also unjust. The research being collected can easily be found without killing the whale!
I understand that this letter won't change your mind immediately, but give it some thought and take time to realize the impact that you are having on the ocean. Not to mention present and future generations.
We signed the "Stop Illegal Whaling in Japan" petition!

Whales are intelligent, beautiful mammals who are like us(in a way) They do nothing to harm us and they only love us. Whaling is cruel and unnecessary, and those poor whales can take up to a half an hour to die after being struck by the harpoon! And when being cut up there is still no way to tell if they are dead or alive! You wouldn't want to be in that sort of pain would you?!? So please stop whaling!

Whaling is cruel and should be abolished. Their meat is tainted and should NEVER be consumed by humans and they are intelligent mammals that should be respected not hunted to extinction.

Please stop killing the whales. It is unjust and unnessasary. There is no need to kill the whales for research. Study them alive and unharmed, you'll learn more that way.
