what this "cove" in taiji, japan looks like after each slaughter of dolphins.
the intrepid espionage teamthis is the petition i signed after watching "the cove", a real life horror story about yet another example of humankind's inhumanity. don't know if this will make any difference, but hey, i spend hours of precious time doing things that are a lot less meaningful! so there. good luck to these brave people! and good luck to the dolphins! swim far far away!
Dear [Decision Maker],
I recently heard about the documentary film The Cove and was alarmed to find out that more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are brutally killed each year off the coast of Japan. In addition, Japanese consumers are being sold dolphin meat, containing dangerously high levels of mercury, often labeled as whale meat.
I ask that you urge the Japanese government to revoke permits that allow Japan's Fisheries Agency to continue this heinous, dangerous and illegal practice.
I also urge American leadership to ensure that the International Whaling Commission includes the proper management of dolphins and porpoises and a comprehensive plan to stop the slaughter of dolphins in Japan.
I thank the filmmakers for this courageous act, and I thank you in advance for the courage and humanity you will demonstrate in taking steps towards ending this atrocity. Dolphins have no place in our food industries so please help to keep them in the wild, where they belong.
Your immediate action is needed.
