The Ocean Realm Society will lead an email campaign opposing the business practice of the online trader Alibaba.com allowing the posting of shark parts wanted for purchase.
Alibaba.com, a China based company, lists 335 companies selling 169 shark related products online globally. This adds to the already very stressed shark population as demand rises.
Please help by lending your support to the cause. You can find out more here.
Need help with what to say? Copy this text into the body of the email:
Sharks are an integral part of the ocean, and vital to the overall balance of the undersea world. Allowing users to solicit shark parts on your site helps to fuel the senseless slaughter of sharks, which will soon have disastrous effects on the world’s ecology. STOP ALLOWING USERS TO SOLICIT SHARK PARTS ON YOUR SITE. IT IS RIDICULOUSLY IRRESPONSIBLE.
