Stop The Taiji Dolphin Hunt
President Barack Obama and Congress, our country needs to do the right thing to protect these dolphins. WE pray you will use your VOICE to address this issue to the people listed below. Our country has to take the lead and be on the right side of history. This is the year for EMPATHY and COMPASSION towards all our WILDLIFE.
To: Mayor of Taiji, Prime Minister of Japan, Japanese Minister of Fisheries, Emperor of Japan
The slaughter of 20,000 dolphins, porpoises, and small whales occurs in Japan each year. Starting on September 1st and usually continuing through March of the next year, fishermen herd whole families of small cetaceans into a shallow bays and mercilessly stab and drown them to death.
The dolphin meat from Taiji is then packaged and sold and is sometimes marked as healthy whale meat from the Southern Antarctic Whale Sanctuary. Dolphin meat is heavily laced in Mercury and poses a severe threat to all those who eat it. The dolphins who are not slaughtered are bought by marine parks all over the world and forced to live inside a small concrete pool and to entertain large crowds for the rest of their lives.

Why is this important?
Sign this petition to end this brutal "tradition" in Taiji by telling the Mayor of Taiji, the Prime Minister, and the Emperor himself that the people of the world think the Dolphin Hunt is a disgusting practice that needs to end now!
