Dear Prime Minister Yasuo FUKUDA,
We are outraged by the annual brutal slaughter of dolphins and whales that takes place in Japan . The images of bloody red water clearly show the world that Japan has little respect for the state of the worlds oceans and for the conservation of the marine resources it claims to support.
Many scientific studies show that the oceans are in decline. We must take whatever actions are necessary to stop their over-exploitation and to protect the creatures that live in them. These dolphins do not belong to Japan . The status of the species of dolphins and whales that you kill are either endangered, threatened, or unknown. It is an unthinkable waste that they will likely end up as a meat product or deceptively sold as whale meat, polluted with toxic levels of mercury and cadmium, killing people that eat it. It is tragic and unacceptable that the remaining dolphins that are not killed will end up destined for death in an aquarium, water park, or "swim with dolphins" program.
In addition, the methods used to kill these animals are cruel.
Corralling the dolphins into bays, then making them suffer a long and painful death by spears, hooks, and drowning is an inhumane way of fishing. This action is disgraceful and has caused much disappointment in the international community.
We demand that Japan permanently and immediately renounce and stop this slaughter. We will work diligently to bring this issue to international light until you have ceased your reprehensible violence.

- estes seres humanos nao merecem as dбdivas que a natureza lhes oferece. sao de uma insensibilidade e ignorвncia que ja nao devia ter lugar num a quem a natureza presenteou com o mais elevado estatuto na hierarquia animal. A julgar por este exemplo, deviamos estar ainda a rastejar nas profundezas de um qualquer pantano num qualquer planeta numa qualquer parte do universo, onde pudessemos apodrecer sem incomodar o curso da evoluзao. I m feeling less than nothing.

- This disgraceful slaughter must be stopped. I had no idea that your countrymen perpetrated this outrage. Mine is only a tiny voice but I will henceforth stop supporting the Japanese economy in any way possible, no Japanese cars, electronics or airlinetravel in this household until this stops.
