署名活動を始めたことを、のとじま水族館へお伝えしました | We have informed Notojima Aquarium about the petition campaign.

English follows Japanese

9月24日に開始した署名は、現在100筆を超えています。ご賛同くださった皆さま、本当にありがとうございます。

まずは早い段階で、問題意識や要求事項を水族館へ直接お伝えすることが誠実だと考え、問い合わせフォームを通じて連絡しました。

今後、500筆の賛同が集まった段階を目安に、署名簿と賛同コメントを添えて第1回の正式提出を行い、文書での回答や対話を求める予定です。

すでに賛同してくださった皆さまには、次の二つにもご協力いただけるとうれしいです。

①署名ページを、身近な方やSNSで「共有」する
②賛同した理由や、水族館へ伝えたいことを「コメント」として残す

短い言葉でも構いません。

一人ひとりの言葉が加わることで、署名数だけでは伝わらない思いも可視化できます。

「なぜこの署名に賛同したのか」
「ジンベエザメにどうなってほしいのか」
「水族館にどのような判断を望むのか」

いただいた声は、署名とともに整理し、のとじま水族館の方々へ責任をもって届けます。

引き続き、ご協力をよろしくお願いいたします。

We have informed Notojima Aquarium about the petition campaign.

The petition, launched on September 24, has now received more than 100 signatures. Thank you sincerely to everyone who has supported it.

We believed that the responsible approach was to inform the aquarium of our concerns and requests at an early stage, so we contacted them through their official inquiry form.

Once the petition reaches approximately 500 signatures, we plan to make our first formal submission, including the list of signatures and comments from supporters. We will also request a written response and an opportunity for dialogue.

If you have already signed, we would be grateful if you could also help in the following two ways:

① Share the petition with someone you know or on social media.
② Leave a comment explaining why you signed or what you would like the aquarium to consider.

Even a few words are meaningful.

When each person adds their own words, the concerns and hopes behind the signature count become visible.

You might write about:

“Why did you support this petition?”
“What do you hope will happen to the whale shark?”
“What decision would you like the aquarium to make?”

We will carefully compile the comments we receive and ensure that they are delivered to Notojima Aquarium together with the petition.

Thank you for your continued support.
