Urgent: Help seals before the slaughter begins!

Take Action

Dear One, In a matter of weeks, Canada’s annual seal slaughter will begin. Many of the seals killed won’t have eaten their first solid meal or learned how to swim—yet they’ll be shot or viciously clubbed as their mothers watch in despair. Will you please help seals before the massacre begins by signing our petition urging the Canadian prime minister to end the slaughter? PETA, our international affiliates, and compassionate people like you have helped promote seal-fur bans around the world and successfully squashed the Canadian government’s attempts to create a market in China for seal „products.“ But even though most Canadians oppose the annual slaughter, their tax dollars are the only thing propping up this violent industry. We must keep the pressure on the Canadian government to end the slaughter, and we need caring people like you with us to do so. Thank you for acting today to protect seals and other animals in need. Kind regards, Ingrid E. Newkirk Founder P.S. You can do even more to help seals by making a gift that supports PETA’s work for seals and other animals.

Japan: Stop the Slaughter & Captivity of Dolphins

Target: Taiji Mayor Kazutaka Sangen & Prime Minister Abe

In 2020, Tokyo will be hosting the summer Olympics, which are all about cooperation and celebration.  The slaughter of whales and dolphins practiced by Japan are anything but.  Does Japan really need such black marks on their national reputation?

When you sign this petition, you are pledging NOT to ever buy a ticket to a captive dolphin show; you are telling the Mayor of Taiji and Japanese Prime Minister Abe that the slaughters and trade in live dolphins is unacceptable. You are demanding the release of the albino dolphin Angel, and refuting the idea that the Taiji dolphin hunts are traditional, as this has been proven false.

The Save Japan Dolphins campaign will be presenting these petitions to representatives to the Japanese government at future events. Help us spread the word, sign and share.

From: [Your Name]

Japan will be hosting the 2020 Olympics. Will they still be slaughtering dolphins and whales by then?

Now that WAZA and JAZA agree that the code of ethics prohibits capture of live dolphins for captivity during the cruel Taiji hunts, we call on the Taiji Mayor and the Japanese Prime Minister to permanently halt both the slaughter and trade in live dolphins, release the dolphin Angel into a seapen, and stop insisting that the hunts are a cultural tradition, as this has been proven false.
