International Protest
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
Help Stop the Largest and Cruelest
Slaughter of Dolphins in the World!
PLEASE PROTEST WITH LCA AND
WRITE TO THE CONTACTS BELOW
TO EXPRESS YOUR OUTRAGE!
Each year from October through March, in small towns across
Japan, thousands of dolphins and small whales are confined and
brutally killed. These slaughters take place in fishing towns
including Taiji, Iki, Ito, Futo and Izu.
During those months, Japanese fishermen
herd whole families and pods of dolphins, porpoises and small
whales into shallow bays and mercilessly hack them to death.
This killing must stop!
Take a stand this year against the Japan
Dolphin Slaughter!

SAMPLE TEXT
I am 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 world's oceans and for the conservation of the
marine resources it claims to support.
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.
I demand that Japan permanently and immediately renounce and
stop this slaughter.
Sincerely,
Your contact information
