Is there anything I can do to help stop the dolphin slaughter in Japan?

Question

I was appalled at what I saw on tv tonight and want to do something to help.

Answer 1

Hayden Panettiere's involvement in exposing the thousands of dolphins killed each year at the notorious killing cove in Taiji Japan has sparked an online petition that had a goal of delivereing 2,000,000 signatures to the Japanese Embassy in the US, Congress, the United Nations, among other high profile government and environmental organizations.

An estimated 25,000 dolphins and porpoises each year are slaughtered by Japanese fishermen, either harvested for their meat in annual drives or captured for sale to marine and captive swim parks.

Answer 2

For a start, you could try and convince your family and friends to sign the online petition. Follow the link which is kindly given by the first poster, Oncamera. The more the signatures the better. Hopefully, the authorities that be will take cognisance of this tragic situation and do something to abolish these practices

Answer 3

Do you believe in reincarnation? Then you can jump from a real high place, and if you're lucky, you'll come back as a dolphin.

Then I might care about this non-issue a *little* bit more.

Answer 4

Open a 'dolphin park' in japan, or start taking the japanese on 'swimming with the dolphins' boat trips.

Answer 5

For starters don't bother signing celeberty online petetions.
