SHUT ILLEGAL WHALING DOWN

                                                     Slaughter House

31 countries issued a protest to the Japanese Government, calling on the country to end it's scientific whaling program. But the United States of Amercia was a NO SHOW. Ask USA for their support:

We will contact: The Honorable Carlos M. Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave, NW Washington, DC 20230 and/or cgutierrez@doc.gov 
and
Makoto Ishihara - Mr, Kunihiko Koike, and Yuji Igarashi
with your vote on this petition.

Nippon Suisan, Maruha and Kyokuyo are the Japanese seafood conglomerates who for the past 20 years, even after a global moratorium on the killing of whales, wholeheartedly supported the government of Japan's "scientific" whale hunt by purchasing, canning and selling whale products.

18 months ago, after letter writing efforts from supporters like you, these companies quietly divested their ownership in the Japanese whaling fleet. They now claim they are no longer responsible.

These three companies owned and operated the whaling fleet when the Government of Japan announced plans to kill almost 1000 whales including 50 fin whales in an internationally recognized sanctuary, yet they now claim their hands are clean.

Please urge the CEOs of these companies and their wholly-owned subsidiaries to tell the Government of Japan the world doesn't need to kill whales in the twenty-first century to study them.
Dear Honorable Carlos M. Gutierrez, Makoto Ishihara - Mr, Kunihiko Koike, and Yuji Igarashi

I write to express my grave concern at your company's longstanding involvement in Japanese whaling and to respectfully request you take all possible steps to end Japan's ongoing whaling activities.

For more than 20 years, your company owned and operated the Japanese whaling fleet, working closely with the Government of Japan to defy an international ban on commercial whaling.  Your company quietly transferred its shares last year, but under a plan designed and announced while you still owned the fleet, the Government of Japan now intends to kill almost 1,000 whales including 50 fin whales over the next several months.

Japan conducts this whaling in the name of science.  But scientists and legal experts around the world have condemned Japan's whaling as unnecessary and unlawful.  And responsible whale watching now provides important economic benefits to coastal communities in more than 90 countries and territories worldwide.

I urge you to publicly declare your company's opposition to Japan's ongoing whaling and respectfully request you take immediate action to encourage the Government of Japan to cease its whaling activities.
