If everyone can do something little to stop this slaughter it would be greatly appreciated.There is a petition here to sign and send to the Japanese Prime minister.

How's it spam?If you don't have interest than don't read.Think about what you mean is spam mate!

I had lived more than ten years in Japan and know they would be shocked to find out what is happening.It's something that isn't reported by news so informing people is spam?

It's not what people in Australia are feeling now.Many of my Japanese friends are telling us they don't know this.So telling the truth to this forum is spam?

unfortunatly this is not spam; this issue is one of the few things that i do now like about japan

i've signed the petition before; although i do not like the way it is worded.

How do you feel about this?

If all you can do is yell, dont expect me to listen.

Don't get me wrong, but what is the difference between eating dolphins or any other animal? Is the dolphin endangered? Is it because dolphins are kind of cute and fairly intelligent? Pigs happen to be quite intelligent too, and we slaughter thousands more every day than dolphins. I'm not trying to be a jerk here. Most people eat animals.

If you REALLY care about dolphins from an animal rights perspective, you should protect all sea creatures and all mammals the same way. How "evolved" or how "intelligent" they are is subjective - at what point are you not evolved enough and therefore to deserve to die? Also, other sea creatures are "bred outside of captivity", so that's not an excuse either.

The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. Please either object to industries related to fish and meat entirely, or support them. You don't get to "pick and choose" morality based on convenience and conjecture.

I'll sign that petition when no one in the world has no reason to eat meat anymore.

So, never.

Sure, it seems inhumane, but it's tradition and a way of life.

Sometimes we forget our own people commited atrocities without a second thought to animal life as well, but it's our nature.

Sorry, but no.
