http://www.eia-international.org/files/reports19-1.pdf (copy and paste to your address bar to read this special report).Take a look at the tragic report listed above and you'll see why I've stopped buying Japanese products. That's correct: Until Japan's government stops the barbaric, heartless slaughter of our fellow mammals, creatures that are every bit as intelligent as humans, I won't be buying another Toyota (NYSE:TM) or an electronic product or watching a Columbia Pictures movies, all made by the Japanese company Sony (NYSE:SNE).
Check out the stories below, thanks to BlueVoice.org, and see if your conscience might not feel the same way mine does. Read the articles below and please educate yourself about the atrocities that the Japanese people and their government believe they have the "right" to continue.
Rent the movie "WHALEDREAMERS" (http://www.whaledreamers.com/html/) and see the movie "THE COVE" (http://thecovemovie.com/) to understand how horrific this situation really is. Please have the courage to open your eyes and heart, before it is too late. Honda Motor Company (NYSE:HMC) might intervene and tell the truth to the Japanese people if we stop buying their products until Japans stops slaughtering whales and dolphins.
