End Dolphin Slaughtering in Japan
Target: Junichiro Koizumi, Prime Minister of Japan, Government of JapanSponsored by: Blue Voice
Every year, Japanese fishermen, with the support of the Japanese government, slaughter thousands of dolphins in a brutal manner. And now Japan plans to extend the hunt to include humpback whales!
This practice is killing magnificent, feeling animals, and endangering dolphin and whale populations. Furthermore, this hunt is also hurting the people of Japan. Dolphin and whale dolphin meat sold to the Japanese public contains high levels of toxic heavy metals and organochlorines.
Demand that Japanese law end this brutal slaughter of intelligent marine mammals and protect the health of the people of Japan.

I will never buy Japanese goods when there is an alternative. I would love to own a Toyota RAV4, but will not consider this until Japan ends the cruel slaughter of whales and dophins.

It is very saddening to know how we humans treat so many things on this planet with so little respect. When you hear the cases of dolphins showing enough caring to save other species including humans from shark attack it just proves that maybe humans are the least civilized creature to ever exist. Why can't we show that kind of compassion?

Ofcourse. It's absolutely disgusting how a technologicaly advanced and sophisticated nation like Japan is allowing these barbaric acts to continue. Also lets not forget about the millions of sharks being butchered each year. They may not be as cute as the dolphins, but as equally important.

I do. I think this is absolutely sickening and barbaric. Dolphins are amazing animals, and so bright! They are the smartest and gentlest mammals I've ever encountered.
