meat

NEW YORK & #12539;The Environmental Investigation

Agency, which has head offices in London and

Washington, on Friday urged Wal-Mart Stores Inc to

force its affiliated Japanese supermarket chain

operator Seiyu Ltd to stop selling whale and dolphin

meat.

 

Seiyu has said that whale meat is part of the

traditional Japanese diet and sales of it " have been

entirely conducted in conformity with law. " The

environmental group said it hired a Japanese

researcher to call 202 Seiyu retail outlets to ask if

they sold whale or dolphin meat, and 123 of them said

yes.

 

Wal-Mart has a 37% stake in Seiyu. (Kyodo News)
