Take Action for Dolphin-Safe Tuna
Write letters to your local grocery store, restaurant, or supermarket.
Urge your favorite store to commit in writing to only selling tuna that is safe for dolphins and that is not caught in association with the encirclement of dolphins. Concerned Americans like you have already convinced Safeway, Long John Silver's, Red Lobster, The Olive Garden, Food Lion, Walt Disney, Wal-Mart, Subway, IGA Stores, Garden Fresh Restaurants and Disco Stores to remain dolphin-safe! The rest need to hear from you!
Urge U.S. Tuna Companies to Be "Dolphin-safe!"
Write letters to the three biggest tuna companies in the US to urge them to STAY dolphin safe. Defenders and a coalition of groups have already convinced Star-Kist, Chicken of the Sea and Bumblebee Tuna to commit to only trading in dolphin-safe tuna but they are under tremendous pressure by foreign governments, and sadly, our own government, to change this policy. They need to hear from you! Please urge them to stay "dolphin-safe."
You may also contact the companies directly via online feedback forms:
Track Down Dolphin-Deadly Tuna
Canned tuna from Mexico's largest cannery, which purchases tuna caught with dolphin-harming nets, has slipped into the United States with an "Amigo del Delfin" (dolphin friendly) label. That's illegal in the U.S., and we need your help to stop it.
The tuna is sold under the "Dolores" brand in supermarkets from California to Chicago to Washington, D.C. -- see photo below.
Send Defenders of Wildlife a copy of your letters.
This way we can keep track of the pressure you and others are placing on our government and the tuna industry to maintain our current, hard-fought protections for dolphins. Thanks for your help!
