Japan, Stop Whaling!

The Japanese whaling fleet has left port for its biggest hunt since the moratorium on commercial whaling began over twenty years ago. Japan's annual Southern Ocean whale hunt is conducted under the guise of science but has been condemned internationally. This season, Japan aims to kill more than 1,000 whales, including 50 endangered fin whales. Take Action >> Tell the United States to do all it can to put pressure on Japan to stop whaling and save the whales.

Dear Secretary Gutierrez, Condoleezza Rice,

On behalf of whales everywhere, I am writing to urge the United States to do all it can to put pressure on Japan to stop whaling and to save the whales. Specifically, I am urging you to: 1. Make no deals with Japan on their whaling, and advocate that other countries do the same; 2. Ensure a strong presence of anti-whaling countries at the International Whaling Commission meetings; 3. Enforce existing whale protections, most urgently, and put an end to all whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary; and, 4. Expand whale protections by building support for the creation of a South Atlantic Whale Sanctuary.

"Sincerely," and your name and contact information will be added to the end of the letter.
