Update May, 2008

Take A Brief Moment to Help!

Japan recently took to the waters to kill 50 humpback whales, 50 fin whales and minke whales for "scientific research" in the protected waters off Australia in defiance of the International Whaling Commission's continued ban on whaling.

This comes on the heels of Japan's largest dolphin slaughter. This annual slaughter includes dolphins, pilot whales, and porpoises with no research or regard to the depletion of their numbers. Tactics are inhumane and brutal.

The urgency to address this issue is ongoing.
