I got this from an email recently. It really upsets me by watchin' how they kill dolphins and whales. *sigh* If, you feel the need to sign up the petition by tellin' them to stop killin' dolphins and whales, please do so. Dolphins and whales need your voices. There's a video showin' how they kill them. Check the video link below. There's a petition link below to sign. Thanks !

It is thoroughly appalling that the only intelligent species on our planet is capable of such atrocious acts against other living things. We have reached unprecedented levels of technological advancement and economic progress, we continue to glorify our species and marvel at our achievements , but to what end? Modern life is marked by an endless cycle of consumerism, and in this endless pursuit of self-actualization and personal ambition it is easy for Mankind to forget about humility. We are but one species amongst numerous others on Earth. The fact that we are the only intelligent species does not even begin to give us the right to exploit other life forms and to have them suffer under our avarice and selfishness. It is incredibly ludicrous that marine life should made to suffer such an appalling fate just so a select group of humans could expand their culinary repertoire while a few others make monetary gains. Please take a few minutes to watch this video, sign the petition and forward this email to everyone you know.
Please watch this video, it is one of the most important things you can do in your life today. This is your responsibility as a moral citizen of the world to put a stop to this horrific act now.

Dear Prime Minister Abe,
We are outraged by the annual brutal slaughter of dolphins and whales that takes place in Japan . The images of bloody red water clearly show the world that Japan has little respect for the state of the world's oceans and for the conservation of the marine resources it claims to support.
Many scientific studies show that the oceans are in decline. We must take whatever actions are necessary to stop their over-exploitation and to protect the creatures that live in them. These dolphins do not belong to Japan . The status of the species of dolphins and whales that you kill are either endangered, threatened, or unknown. It is an unthinkable waste that they will likely end up as a meat product or deceptively sold as whale meat, polluted with toxic levels of mercury and cadmium, killing people that eat it. It is tragic and unacceptable that the remaining dolphins that are not killed will end up destined for death in an aquarium, water park, or "swim with dolphins" program.
In addition, the methods used to kill these animals are cruel.
Corralling the dolphins into bays, then making them suffer a long and painful death by spears, hooks, and drowning is an inhumane way of fishing. This action is disgraceful and has caused much disappointment in the international community.
We demand that Japan permanently and immediately renounce and stop this slaughter. We will work diligently to bring this issue to international light until you have ceased your reprehensible violence.
