Dear Mr. Koizumi,

I am outraged at the dolphin massacre happening at Taiji. The drive fishery must be stopped immediately. I strongly urge you to revoke the permits allowing the dolphin drives to continue.

The dolphin meat is known to be highly contaminated with mercury and is a health hazard to your own people.  I strongly urge you to prohibit the sale of contaminated dolphin meat immediately.

The slaughter is cruel and unnecessary and is harmful to Japan's reputation in the world community.

Sincerely,
