Target: Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan
Goal: Put an end to the killing of whales for their meat in Japan to protect these majestic creatures and promote sustainable marine conservation.
Whaling has been a controversial practice in Japan for many years. Despite the international ban on commercial whaling, Japan continues to engage in whaling activities under the guise of “scientific research” and allows the sale of whale meat in local markets.
The killing of whales for their meat not only causes immense suffering to these intelligent and majestic creatures but also threatens the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Whales play a critical role in maintaining the health of our oceans and their removal from the ecosystem can have catastrophic effects.
In addition, the hunting of whales is no longer necessary for subsistence, as there are alternative sources of protein available. The practice is outdated and unnecessary in modern times.
The continued hunting of whales for their meat is not only cruel but also unsustainable. Immediate action must be taken to put an end to this practice and promote sustainable marine conservation efforts.
Sign below and demand the Japanese government take a proactive stance in protecting these magnificent creatures by putting an end to the killing of whales for their meat to both promote sustainable marine conservation and position Japan as a leader in environmental protection.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prime Minister Kishida,
We are writing to urge you to put an end to the killing of whales for their meat in Japan. Despite the international ban on commercial whaling, Japan continues to engage in whaling activities under the guise of “scientific research” and allows the sale of whale meat in local markets.
This practice is not only cruel and inhumane but also poses a serious threat to the survival of whale populations. Whales play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our oceans, and their continued slaughter undermines the health and well-being of marine ecosystems worldwide.
Furthermore, the consumption of whale meat is no longer a cultural necessity and is considered a luxury item in Japan. The vast majority of Japanese citizens do not consume whale meat, and the demand for it continues to decline. In light of this, there is no justification for the continued killing of these majestic creatures.
Ending the sale and consumption of whale meat will not only protect the welfare of whales, but also contribute to the health and sustainability of our oceans and marine life. We believe that by demonstrating leadership in this area, Japan can become a champion for marine conservation and set an example for the rest of the world to follow.
We call on you to take immediate action to put an end to the killing of whales for their meat in Japan.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Everyone everywhere knows this is not for research, it’s for exotic food and it’s disgustingly cruel and disturbing. Give up the ruse, stop killing whales.
