I just received this e-mail . I thought some of the members might be interested in it.
Fishing boats in Japan are now putting to sea to herd pods of dolphins, pilot whales and other whale species into bays where they will be brutally slaughtered for meat or taken into a lifetime of captivity.
Every year, Japanese fishermen, with the support of the Japanese government, slaughter more than twenty thousand dolphins. And now Japan plans to extend the hunt to include humpback whales!
Take Action to Stop this Hunt!
This practice is killing magnificent, feeling animals, and endangering dolphin and whale populations. Furthermore, this hunt is also hurting the people of Japan. Dolphin and whale meat sold to the Japanese public contains high levels of toxic heavy metals and organochlorines, making it dangerous for human consumption.
Demand that Japanese law end this brutal slaughter of intelligent marine mammals and protect the health of the people of Japan.
Thank you for making a difference,
