Japan's Dolphin Slaughter Continues

The Issue

The 2009 documentary film, The Cove, exposed the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year. Their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. Yet, the majority of the world is not aware this is happening. Be a part of the solution by signing and sharing this petition.

Over 5 years since The Cove film debut, dolphins are still being slaughtered in the Taiji, Japan cove. With dolphin drive-hunt season at its peak right now, we need your help in the fight for dolphins more than ever.
