Tell Japanese Company to Stop Selling Elephant and Whale Products
Остановим продажу продуктов из слонов и китов!
action alert!
A Japanese retail giant called Rakuten is the world's largest online seller of elephant ivory and whale meat. It must stop trafficking in the suffering of these magnificent animals!
Dear Friends,
Остановим продажу продуктов из слонов и китов! Elephants and whales are some of the most intelligent, sensitive animals on the planet. They're also some of the most endangered -- every year, more elephants and whales are brutally hunted, their corpses stripped down to be sold piece-by-piece on the black market. Many of these sales happen in secret. But one Japanese e-retailer, Rakuten, sells elephant ivory and whale meat out in the open, making no attempt to hide the fact that it's indirectly encouraging the slaughter of these gorgeous, rare animals. A recent investigation found that Rakuten is by far the biggest online retailer of elephant and whale products. In February, more than 700 types of whale meat were available on the site; buyers could also purchase one of more than 28,000 items made of ivory. Many of these items come from protected species, though it is very difficult to tell which inventory exactly is illegal under international trade law. Regardless, on an ethical level, it is absolutely unacceptable for Rakuten to profit off the suffering of these creatures. Many international companies, such as Amazon and Google, have stopped selling whale, dolphin and ivory through all their online retailers. Urge Rakuten to do the same -- tell the company to stop selling elephant and whale products immediately.
Thank you for taking action, Kathleen Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team
