Protect Humpbacks from Whaling
Target: Ryozo Kato, Ambassador of JapanSponsored by: International Fund for Animal Welfare
The Japanese Government is sending its whaling fleet into the protected waters of the Southern Ocean Sanctuary around Antarctica. And this year, Japan is threatening to add endangered humpback and fin whales to its target list!
The Japanese government attempts to defend its whaling program by calling it "scientific" whaling. In reality, this deadly program is nothing more than unlawful commercial whaling in disguise. We don't need to kill whales to study them in the 21st century.
More than 30,000 whales have been killed since a global ban on commercial whaling came into effect in 1986. Japan must not expand its whaling program!
Tell Japanese Ambassador Ryozo Kato to immediately stop the senseless annual killing of whales, including the endangered Humpback.

There is no need to kill whales in this day and age! A world wide boycott of your industries might get your attention. Whales are a vanishing species.leave them alone!

The Japanese are still kind of primitive I guess needing to hunt whales in the 21st century.

Whales are sentient and intelligent creatures just like us, and killing them should be BANNED WORLDWIDE! If you would like to study them you should send scientists to interact with the whales in friendly and non-violent ways, and due to their intelligence and curiosity the whales are likely to comply. From a dead whale you cannot learn anything worthwhile!

This is an embarassment to the country of Japan, and they need to stop slaughtering whales under the false pretense of "scientific study". These sentient beings are endangered as it is...stop now.

A country does not need to show how undveloped and cruel it is by killing intelligent and sensitive beings.
