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 saw a documentary the other day about this horrific event. It is mass slaughter. Knowing that Dolphins are highly social, highly intelligent beings, who value other individuals... makes this event absolutely revolting and completely immoral. These animals are not only suffering their own horrifying deaths, but are forced, by circumstance, to also watch their pod members be "murdered" in front of their eyes. THEY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING!!! They are highly aware of themselves and their surroundings. Heart wrenching to say the very least. Some traditions really don't need to continue. This absolutely is one that should stop immediately!

Yes, I think that countries who support serious environmental issues should totally ban Japanese imports.
