Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Humane Society International United States: Whale Victim of Illegal Killing On Saturday, September 8, a Pacific gray whale was killed off the coast of Washington State. Pierced by both steel harpoons and bullets from a high-powered rifle, the whale suffered a prolonged and painful death over an estimated nine hours. The perpetrators of this crime were five members of the Makah Indian tribe, acting in violation of U.S. laws and international agreements. The U.S. needs to enforce its own whaling laws if it's going to be able to call on other nations to comply with international treaties and laws. Take action! Contact the U.S. government and the U.S. Embassy in your country. https://community.hsus.org/campaign/hsi_makah/wkngdn32p876td6? Japan: Protest the Mass Slaughter of Dolphins Each year in a coastal town in Japan, thousands of dolphins are rounded up and brutally killed for their meat or sold into the entertainment industry. Join thousands of activists around the globe to protest this annual slaughter as part of Japan Dolphin Day on September 25. Take action!

The poison used causes excruciating, prolonged suffering. HSI actively opposes the use of poisoning as a means of population control for any species of animal as the method is inhumane and ineffective. Take action! Ask Addis Ababa's mayor to stop this cruel campaign and use humane alternatives instead. https://community.hsus.org/campaign/ethiopia_dogs/wkngdn32p876td6?
