KIP4D Qtusade to Save Porpoises 



WHEREAS, each year porpoises die by the hundreds of thousands in 

 the nets of the tuna industry; and 



WHEREAS , efforts by the Congress of the United States to protect 

 these and other marine mammals by the enactment of the 

 Marine Mammal Protection Act have been nullified by the 

 issuance of special exemptions to the tuna industry, 

 and by other actions in disregard of Congressional 

 intent; and 



WHEREAS, it appears that a massive expression of public opinion 

 in the form of a boycott of all tuna and tuna products 

 may be the only recourse if porpoises are to be saved 

 from becoming extinct; 



THEREFORE, we respectfully request that owners and operators of 

 restaurants, cafeterias, hospitals, rest homes, nursing 

 y homes, day care centers, and schools adopt a policy that 



no tuna shall be served henceforth, until the problem 

 has been satisfactorily resolved so that porpoises are 

 no longer killed incidentally in the harvesting of tuna.
