Sample letter of protest and addresses to the Japanese Prime Minister regarding the Dolphin Slaughter!<\/p>\n

If you would like to make a more direct protest, you can send the following sample letter to the addresses listed below.<\/p>\n

SAMPLE LETTER<\/p>\n

I am outraged by the annual brutal slaughter of whales and dolphins that
\ntakes place in Japan. The images of bloody red water clearly show the
\nworld that Japan has little respect for the state of the world’s oceans
\nand for the conservation of the marine resources it claims to support.<\/p>\n

Many scientific studies show that the oceans are in decline. We must
\ntake whatever actions are necessary to stop their over-exploitation and
\nto protect the creatures that live in them. These whales and dolphins do
\nnot belong to Japan. The status of the species of whales and dolphins
\nthat you kill are either endangered, threatened, or unknown. It is an
\nunthinkable waste that they will likely end up as a meat product or
\ndeceptively sold as whale meat, polluted with toxic levels of mercury
\nand cadmium, killing people that eat it. It is tragic and unacceptable
\nthat the remaining dolphins that are not killed will end up destined for
\ndeath in an aquarium, water park, or captive dolphin program.<\/p>\n

In addition, the methods used to kill these animals are cruel.
\nCorralling the whales and dolphins into bays, then making them suffer a
\nlong and painful death by spears, hooks, and drowning is an inhumane way
\nof fishing. This action is disgraceful and has caused much
\ndisappointment in the international community.<\/p>\n

We demand that Japan permanently and immediately renounce and stop this
\nslaughter. We will work diligently to bring this issue to international
\nlight until you have ceased your reprehensible violence.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Letters can be sent to the following:<\/p>\n
