Tell the Japanese Corporations Who Planned This Slaughter to Speak Out

Nippon Suisan, Maruha and Kyokuyo are the Japanese seafood conglomerates who for the past 20 years, even after a global moratorium on the killing of whales, wholeheartedly supported the government of Japan's "scientific" whale hunt by purchasing, canning and selling whale products.

18 months ago, after letter writing efforts from supporters like you, these companies quietly divested their ownership in the Japanese whaling fleet. They now claim they are no longer responsible.

These three companies owned and operated the whaling fleet when the Government of Japan announced plans to kill almost 1000 whales including 50 fin whales in an internationally recognized sanctuary, yet they now claim their hands are clean.

Please urge the CEOs of these companies and their wholly-owned subsidiaries to tell the Government of Japan the world doesn’t need to kill whales in the twenty-first century to study them. Thank you.
