September 3 – Japan Dolphin Day

On Sept. 3, 2008, join the world in protest against Japan’s annual cruel eradication of more than 23,000 dolphins and small whales. Permitted by their government, this is legal. 46 animal advocacy groups in 20 cities will be holding rallies at the Japanese Consulates including San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, to name a few. One thing they are trying to do is to convince the Japanese government to mandatorially label foods that include Dolphin meat, among other efforts to spread the word to consumers. This is a first step in an attempt to end dolphin slaughter and keep the pressure on Japan. To learn more about how you can help, visit this link.
