To petition the government of Japan to end the dolphin drive hunt atTaiji.

Created by E.R. on September 16, 2014

Every year starting in the month of September the village of Taiji in Japan begin an annual event where they send boats out and using sound drive pods of wild dolphins into a cove a trap them using nets. The dolphins are then slaughtered using inhumane techniques and or are taken from their families and sold to aquariums and theme parks all over Asia and the middle east even. Dolphin meat is eaten by a very miniscule portion of the Japanese population and the meat is so high in levels of mercury its unsafe to eat. The United States knows how terribly inhumane it is to take dolphins from the wild that's why we passed laws to not allow it. We should encourage our friends Japan to do the right thing and end this terrible slaughter forever.
