Stop the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, Japan: now!
Why is the annual dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan not mentioned on the WWF Japan website? See THE COVE movie. WWF must take action to stop the killing, immediately!
I’m extremely upset that dolphins are being slaughtered in Taiji, Japan.

Our response: Dear Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your reactions to
“The Cove”. This hunt in Japan is not something that WWF is actively
working on at present, but we do greatly encourage the government of
Japan and the people of Taiji to reconsider it. WWF believes that,
as the hunt is not necessary for subsistence or cultural reasons, and
as management of the hunt has not been effective and transparent, and
as contaminant levels in the dolphin meat pose a human health concern,
a switch in Taiji from dolphin hunting to dolphin and whale watching
would be extremely positive.
We encourage people to visit www.takepart.com/thecove for information
on many different ways to get involved.
WWF has a long and active history in whale, dolphin and porpoise
conservation. WWF is the only NGO working to conserve all 5
populations of river dolphins, and has many active programmes to
conserve coastal and marine whales, dolphins and porpoises. In fact,
WWF works on all 8 species of small cetacean which are listed as
threatened (critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable) by IUCN.
