EMERGENCY CONTACTS FOR TAIJI, JAPAN
I very strongly suggest that we contact the Fishermen's Union, the Mayor of Taiji, the Fishery Division, and the Governor of Wakayama since they're very closely associated with the drive hunts. We need to urge them to spare the lives of the trapped Bottlenoses - including the mother and her extremely young albino - and allow them to return to their home waters.
I looked into my files for my Facebook group - Advocates Against Cetacean Cruelty - and was able to put together the following contact info:
