31 countries issued a protest to the Japanese Government, calling on the country to end it's scientific whaling program. But the United States of Amercia was a no show. Ask USA for their support:

We will contact: The Honorable Carlos M. Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave, NW Washington, DC 20230 and/or cgutierrez@doc.gov
and
Makoto Ishihara - Mr, Kunihiko Koike, and Yuji Igarashi
with your vote on this petition.

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%u2019t need to kill whales in the twenty-first century to study them.

My answer:
i feel horrible seeing you killing those whales, please stop. They belong to all of us. Tourist is the way to go not killing. Grow up, stop your lies of scientific experiments, your people don't even want to eat it, that is why it is stock piling. Give it up, NOW or deal with boycotting your products. I am from Australia, we don't bow to animal abusers, keep your products we don't need them. Oh, your economy is in a down turn, well the boycott must be working! So think again, how many whales do you want to kill this year? Assholes!

This what I wrote when I signed.......I forwarded this also...

WHALES are very intelligent social creatures that should not be killed for eating. The pollution in the ocean makes whale and dolphin meat to toxic to eat anyways. Japan has around 5000 tons of whale meat already stock piled that no body wants to eat....STOP KILLING WHALES!!!!!
