The Japanese have begun their annual whale hunt which will last thru April 2008. They plan to kill over 400 protected humpback whales and thousands more minke whales during this time period under the guise of scientific research which is total bullshit. Earlier this year they killed over 20,000 dolphins by rounding them up into a cove, then sending divers to stab them to death. They harpoon the whales then drag them for hours until they bleed to death.
This tragedy has got to stop!!! Dolphins are the second most intelligent creature on earth besides humans and are known to protect humans from sharks by surrounding them. Whales are also wonderful, peaceful mammals with high intelligence and should not be killed for any reason. It's time for all of us to band together and BOYCOTT JAPANESE PRODUCTS until they stop killing our beloved creatures.
