Amazon bans the sale of whale and dolphin meat

Thanks to the work of several organizations such as Sea Shepherd, the EIA and the pressure of many thousands of people, Amazon finally banned the cruel business of whale and dolphin meat sale.

Your report is incorrect. This was not the work of Sea Shepherd and they are not claiming that it was either. It was the work of Clare Perry and the EIA. Amazon removed these 'products' within 24 hours of EIA revealing the truth.

Then, after thousands of e-mails and keeping the pressure on with things like Melissa's petition which got over 200,000 signatures, Amazon committed to banning the 'products' permanently.

Here is the EIA's report from 8th March:~ http://www.eia-international.org/amazon-com-confirms-new-policy-to-ban-whale-and-dolphin-products

I'd be grateful if you'd correct this error.

Thank you.
