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.

As you don't even eat the whale meat you salughter it is clear that you have no viable use for the carcasses. Just remember Hiroshima laddie. It will happen again, so back off quickly.

I will no longer use or buy products from Japan. I love the Japanese and their culture, but they need to wake up and realize that we cannot continue to rape this planet.

Stop the slaughter. You are disrupting the entire ecosystem by killing all the whales. They are a gentle animal that is definitely needed. Please, please, please, stop the killing.

I'm tired of these countries destroying our environment, sealife, waters, jungles, animals, the list goes on. Everywhere one goes, someone is destroying something or anothers life simply to make a dollar. As far as Japan goes, find another way to make as you say, "Only one dollar" Leave the whales alone!
