It wasn’t all that long ago that online retail giant Amazon was in hot water for its sale of whale products from Japan. Now, Yahoo! is under fire for doing the exact same thing.
Yahoo! Japan features products like whale jerky, bacon, and canned whale meat from endangered whale species. Yahoo! has banned the sale of endangered animal products from its other sites, but continues to profit from the sale of whale commodities on its Japanese site. Many of the products come from species of whales that are protected by the International Whaling Commission — regulations that Yahoo! is blatantly shirking.
As one of the Internet’s most prominent corporations, Yahoo! should know better than to sell products that are harmful to any animal species. Tell Yahoo!’s CEO Ross Levinsohn to obey the international moratorium and to stop selling endangered animal products immediately.
Exposing the Big Game 
Thanks, Jim for posting this important issue. Many people erroneously believe whaling is over (wonder where they’ve been!) I signed & sent it out to others, too. This country does not set a very good example on whaling either. I cannot believe whaling still continues….in the 21st century, but then we also slaughter most other non-humans, don’t we?
Signed and shared. I just thought I’d let you know that the URL is a bit weird. I couldn’t use the whole URL. The first part is enough. http://theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/clickToGive/ars/petition/YahooWhaleProducts
Thanks for the entire link, I got the original link off an email; sorry it wasn’t complete.
No problem. I was able to figure it out, I’m sure most people will. 🙂
Done. Guess Rod didn’t sink enough boats.
