Tokyo Vegetarian Guide: What's New? Last update: 5/7/2006 update history
Animal rights group SASA Japan now call for sign on the petition regarding animal protection for the Japanese government. They say that companion animals are often abused, neglected and killed in Japan and there are no laws that sufficiently protect the lives of companion animals. We strongly hope that companion animals no longer become the victims of such conducts. http://www.sasajapan.org/Probe.pdf(pdf file) http://www.sasajapan.org/Probe.html(html file) (5/7/06)

Japanese language teacher Sari Kondo has created a guide that introduces useful Japanese phrases for vegetarians/vegans. If you are not sure how to say "I don't eat meat" or "I'm vegan" in Japanese, this page will be a great help. Also, you could ask Ms. Kondo, an expert of teaching Japanese, if she is available for your Japanese lesson. Japanese Lessons "IPPOIPPO" (English/Japanese) (05/07/06)

With the flood of everyday reports on Palestine/Israeli conflicts, we can't stop saying, "That's really the limit." Yesh Gvul, a support group for soldiers who refuse assignments of a repressive or aggressive nature, is saying the same thing. (The group's name stands for "There is a limit !") As a believer of non-violence, a vegetarian/vegan or all who alike could do something to end this circle of violence. For example, you can start from http://web.amnesty.org/web/web.nsf/pages/IOT_action or visit Yesh Gvul, http://www.yeshgvul.org/english/ (3/26/03)

JAPANZINE, a fertile source of life in Japan, has listed vegietokyo.com in the best Japan-related website 2005.
