End Whaling NOW!
Target: U.S. GovernmentSponsored by: Greenpeace USA
This year, the Japanese whaling fleet plans to kill more than 1,000 whales, including 50 endangered fin whales. This is the biggest hunt since the moratorium on commercial whaling began over twenty years ago.
This is both a tragedy and a sham. Japan's annual Southern Ocean whale hunt is conducted under the guise of science, even though killing whales is completely unnecessary for research purposes and the whale meat is sold in Japanese groceries across the country.
New Zealand, Australia, and Europe have all called on Japan to stop the killing. But instead of standing up to Japan's illegal and unnecessary whaling, the U.S. State Department made a weak statement conceding that Japan has a legal right to whaling.
Take action! Tell the United States to do all it can to put pressure on Japan to stop whaling and save the whales!
UPDATE: As of Dec. 21, the Japanese government has taken beloved humpback whales off of their list of whales to hunt. This is a great success, but we need to keep fighting to protect all whales!

Japan's whaling is senseless, and I have a lot of hope in the new American government which seems to be led by a reasonable President, to be able to do something about it.

No animal should not have to die because we need food or clothes. They are mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters - just like us. There are many plants and grains and fruits to eat. Stop animal suffering.

It's clearly a barbaric, outdated practice and should be outlawed by international standards. We're now entering the space age 21st century. Please tell Japan to behave civilly, inside and out.

Letting Japan to continue to KILL in the name of RESEARCH is just STUPID! The only research that these killers are doing is to see how much money they can make! Why is our government NOT doing what it should be doing? Who is getting paid off? Death comes to every living creature on this earth. Just some "human animals" will have to face Judgement! What will YOU say at this time?

This is absolutely despicable! I am tired of seeing Japan using animals, especially animals which are becoming endangered, for piles and piles of food. The way in which these whales are killed is horrible and they are slaughtered. The fact that they "claim" they are performing research is the biggest garbage I have ever seen in my life. Please take a stand to stop the destruction humans are taking on our world and the murder of innocent animals.

Obviously a charade, obviously illegal. Why don't other countries need to kill 900 whales a year to "study" them?
