Japan is fighting to keep its booming ivory market open.
Please sign petition to stop the ivory market and this horrible slaughter.
https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/japan_ivory_cites_loc/
Thank you!
To Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Governor Yuriko Koike, and the Japanese government:
We call on you to close Japans domestic trade in ivory, end all ivory exports, and support efforts to ban the global ivory trade. As you prepare to welcome the world for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Japan must do all it can to create a lasting legacy and prevent elephants being driven to extinction.

FU Shinzo Abe. Fuck you.
I had been planning to go there next spring, but no friggin way now. I'll be going to Greece or Spain instead.
Imagine such smart studious people believing the bullshit claim ivory helps them in any way. Duh.

Boycotting is what I recommended for Bali too. They're slaughtering 17,000 dogs a year to sell as sate to tourists.
