So I am trying to make this petition a big success so the Company can consider making another season.

They reunited in 2008 and took on a new style, released a new album, and toured the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. And they just announced Australia dates for summer 2009.

NOW WE REALLY WANT THEM BACK TO JAPAN!!!

Fans feel that Kyosuke's journey in Holland, his return, and maybe playing alonside his brother could be made into a second season.

I created this petition to gain the many signatures of people so the creator, Youichi Takahashi, as well as Animax and Nippon Animation will consider making a second season or at least OVA's.

As animal testing for cosmetics has been banned in EU since March 11, 2009, we took this opportunity to launch a campaign to seek the abolition of animal testing for cosmetics, targeting SHISEIDO, the largest cosmetic company in Japan. However, the company still refuses to stop animal testing despite our repeated cry against animal experiments.

In cosmetics and household products research, painful experiments are carried out on animals, including rabbits, mice, rats and guinea pigs. Animal testing is not legally required in Japan. Only when an additional ingredient is included in “the limitation on combinations of preservatives, ultraviolet absorbers and tar dyes (positive list)” or where the maximum acceptable quantity is changed, and in manufacturing the products, such as permanent wave solutions, hair dyes, or skin lightening/whitening cosmetics, classified as “quasi-drugs” containing new ingredients (the “quasi-drugs” is the classification used only in Japan and Republic of Korea and such products are regarded as “cosmetics” in the United States and EU), animal testing data is required. So it is possible for companies to manufacture ingredients, combination of ingredients and final formulations of cosmetics without animal testing. There are about 100 cruelty-free cosmetic companies listed in JAVA’s shopping guidebook for consumers “JAVA Cosmetic Guide”, but unfortunately SHISEIDO and other major companies keep conducting animal testing simply because they want to make excessive profits by patented medicinal properties.

In spite of the fact that since March 2009 the EU has banned animal experiments for cosmetics in EU countries and the sale of cosmetic products in EU countries for which animal experiments were performed outside the EU, SHISEIDO has been keeping making products for EU consumers from ingredients that are not tested on animals, despite the continuation of animal testing in Japan and other countries.

So EU consumers are still be in danger of buying products made by the company which keeps conducting animal testing in other countries It means that EU ban cannot protect EU consumers from cruel cosmetics.

A survey conducted by JAVA has revealed that approximately 90 percent of people say they would choose a brand that has not been animal-tested. Japanese consumers also want cruelty-free cosmetics. Japanese major companies should not ignore the global trend and should stop animal testing voluntarily. If they want to develop new ingredients, they should wait until alternative non-animal testing methods have been fully established.

But now, we cannot read/watch the manga/anime because of Igarashi's infringement of copyright.

This petition aims to bring back to fans the great manga/anime "Candy Candy."

The Taiji fishermen have worked out a way to make sure these figures are efficient. They round up a pod of dolphins by using a wall of sound. The terrified family are then herded into the cove. The babies are picked out and kept aside while they watch their entire family slaughtered by sticking sharp rods into their blowholes and then pegging the blow hole up.

This means the dolphin drowns in it's own blood (this is done to try and keep the waters clean to hide what they are doing from the public eye) Then it gets even more unbelievable. They put the babies in sea slings on the side of the boat and drive them back out to sea.

On December 15th 2014 the cove guardians witnessed an entire family of Risso dolphins killed except one baby who was dumped at sea. The reason is there is only 67 Risso dolphins left on the quota as they have been killing Risso's all season.

We demand that baby dolphins are released with their mothers and family members to ensure the baby's survival. If they are killing the whole family and dumping the babies out in the ocean they should still include these babies in the record of numbers killed. The babies will have no chance of survival and will die, yet the fishermen don't count these as kills. This means they can keep hunting more dolphins until they reach that quota.

Within a few days, 5 members of the family had been shipped to captive tanks, and the other 5 members released (they had to be chased away). Three of the captives were taken to Shirahama Adventure World, one to Izu Mito Sea Paradise, and one to the Taiji Whale Museum. Collectively, they became known as "The Taiji Five". A great cry arose from around the world. Literally thousands of people made impassioned appeals to Japan to return the orcas to the ocean, and dozens of rallies and demonstrations were held, all to no avail.

Within a few short months, two of the Shirahama captives were dead, a young male, and a female who was pregnant when captured and soon aborted her baby.

Some years later, in 2003, the Taiji Whale Museum sold their female, then 10 years old, to the Nagoya Aquarium.

The following year (2004) Shirahama's last captive died, and only a few months ago, "Asuka", the captive orca at Izu Mito Sea Paradise died too.

Today, there is just 1 survivor; female "Ku" at the Nagoya Aquarium.

The fate of the 5 members of the pod who survived the capture remains unknown.

------------------------------------

PETITION UPDATE, Oct 8, 08:

The orca "Ku", the last survivor of the Taiji 5 capture, has passed away, due to severe health issues. She died on the 19th of September, from Herpies. RIP girl, you will be missed.

(Unfortunately, this death may be an incentive to capture more whales.)

In conclusion...we (strawberry panic! fans) have decided to make a petition to the direactor on consideration to make a second season of Strawberry Panic!!!

*the show was the best yuri I ever seen and it was totally awasome!!!!*

I feel that in the 100 chapters we have left there is enough for another season and possibly a few OVAs (because i think the manga ends way too suddenly).
