Dolphin Slaughter In Japan (EDM2025)

Dolphin Slaughter In Japan

EDM number 2025 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 13/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Nature conservation.

That this House condemns the annual Japanese dolphin hunt that takes place between September and March; questions the Japanese government's claim that the slaughtering of dolphins is necessary pest control; finds no reason to slaughter on average thousands of dolphins in Japanese waters; is concerned that the majority of Japanese people are not aware of the practice and are buying chemically enhanced dolphin meat disguised as whale meat; notes the work of the British group Campaign Whale and its work in collaboration with the international Save Japan Dolphins coalition; and calls on the Government to support these groups in raising awareness of the issue.

This motion has been signed by a total of 80 MPs.
