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.

We're in a position to buy a new car... and it certainly won't be a Japanese car unless your country stops this senseless killing! In fact, we'll be very careful about buying anything from Japan until whales are protected. And this from a man who holds an advanced belt in Shotokan Karate-do, and who usually appreciates Japanese culture more than most.

I will boycott Japanese goods until such time as your government assures the world that it will stop killing whales.

THEY MUST PROTECT THOSE THAT ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. THERE IS NO HONOUR IN ATTACKING THE DEFENCELESS.

Japanese should have pride in themselves because they do many things properly- but those Japanese who kill dolphins and whales betray the country's quest for respect as a civilized nation.

I regret I've to sign another petition for this which I had done years ago. I regard Japan as a sensible nation, so I was surprised that no action has been taken so far to eliminate or at least reduce drastically the killing of whales.

Putting a whale to death necessarily involves unthinkable torture, since there is no quick way to kill such an immense animal.
# 125:
# 124:
Isn't it time Japan joined the civilized world in recognizing these mammals as intelligent beings?
# 123:
Stop killing whales. They are a legancy for the entire planet, and have lived here for thousands of years before us.
# 122:
I'm very concerned about the depletion of all population on the planet, due to pollution, but am devastated to think that people are killing the whales besides. Please help change this.

This is a shameful and needless killing!

Dear Ambassador, Japan's continuing whale hunt only brings your country into greater international disrepute. This is a new century where all countries need to accept global responsibility. Please prohibit the hunt.
