Japanese Hunting License header
“This is a callout. I hope it looks like a callout.”

Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, a variety of groups began to create and distribute Japanese “hunting licenses.” The licenses declared it “open season” on hunting the Japanese in the United States and abroad. Many of them reminded holders that there was “no limit” on the number of “Japs” they could “hunt or trap.”

Often, the licenses would include a derragotory description of the Japanese. The second license on the right, for example, declared “open season” on the “vile stinking viper known as the Jap Snake.” The license warned that the “Jap Snake” was “known for back-stabbing.”

The third license on the right told holders to hunt “yellow Japanese slant-eyed rat [or other oderiferous varmint] found in the United States or its posessions.” It also assured holders that the “bounty on Pelts” would “not be governed by length or width of stripes.” 2
