Ambassador, please stop the practice of "Live Sushi" in Japan.

Today I learned of the barbaric practice taking place in restaurants in Japan. A practice called "Live Sushi," a 'delicacy' that involves eating frogs while they are still alive and fully conscious.

The lower half of their body is severed, skinned and they are served on a plate, with eyes blinking and body twitching and twisting, while they are slowly eaten alive. This barbaric, vulgar and unnecessarily cruel practice is truly a shame on the Japanese people. So we, signers of this petition from around the world ask respectfully that you ban this practice in Japan.
