Soapbox time.

Amazon.com is currently in a legal battle with the Humane Society of the United States over their decision to sell magazines and videos depicting and glorifying both cockfighting and dogfighting. I personally believe that dogfighting is one of the most hideous, deplorable things humanity is currently doing to another species. Encouraging it in ANY way is just not acceptable.

Amazon is a big corporation, all about the money.

So, the only way to get them to listen is if they realize that selling these items will cost them money.


---hang on, all my links are just going to the homepage. WTF? Broken-ass SG...I'll just insert the actual URLS, then.---

Take a second to send them an email telling them they're assholes, and they are pissing off their customer base. :

Personally, I'm also changing my SG wishlist from Amazon.com to https://secure.stockroom.com/wishlist/wishlistShared.aspx?sharedWishlistCode=2583753 " target="_blank">something more fun anyway:

When I had heard about this, I contacted Amazon and got some bullshit excuse about how "they don't believe in censorship, and by not selling these materials they would be censoring them...which could lead to the removal of other titles/subjects from Amazon." Then insert more babble about free speech....then insert we're sorry if you feel that you no longer want to conduct business with us....
Yadda yadda.

They really don't seem to be too worried...

I'm hoping that after all the publicity with Michael Vick's case..it will put more pressure on them.
