Rejected

What the petition asks
Dolphins that are caught by Japanese fishermen have their fins and tails cut off and then released back into the sea alive and allowed to die a slow and agonising death
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because it's about something the UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for.
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to urge the Japanese Government to outlaw this practice if that is something you would like to see happen.
