I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to stop Amazon.com's
sales of illegal animal fighting materials. Amazon sells both cockfighting
magazines and bloody, graphic dogfighting DVDs. The company is so determined
to continue selling these materials that it filed a motion against The HSUS
in federal court, essentially asking that federal and state laws to protect
animals be gutted to accommodate Amazon's sales of animal fighting
paraphernalia!

Please ask Amazon to remove these materials from its website. Here is a link
for more information:

Done. You beat me posting the link here. :)

Done.
And Amazon is on permanent boycott now.  That makes me sick.

Holy !@#!!  I just placed an order with Amazon this morning!  Thanks
for telling me, I'm right on it.

Done.

In the message I sent, I mentioned that I have spent over $200 in books
from Amazon in the last 6 weeks, and will buy nothing further through them
as long as they sell this crap.

The sad thing is, the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, donates heavily to
charities and doesn't seem at all the type who would condone animal fights.
But are these books and DVD's *from* Amazon or are they offered by some of
the independent resellers who list items for sale there?  I do agree it's
horrific to promote these activities in any way, shape or form and I
definitely sent a letter using the link.  But I'm not sure Mr. Bezos has his
finger on the pulse the way he did when he started out with a computer in
his garage those many years ago.

Filing a motion against HSUS to prevent implementation of laws aimed at this
practice goes beyond the actions of resellers.  Amazon.com might see it as a
freedom of press issue, but that seems dubious in this instance.

I've signed it, too. What a bunch of lowlifes--both those who derive
entertainment from watching animals destroy one another, and those who
sell literature in support of it!

I have been a "regular customer" at Amazon.com.  I am going to send a letter
informing them that I will no longer purchase *anything* from them as long
as this policy is in force.  The loss of one customer would not hurt them at
all, but the loss of *many* sources of revenue (if we all did the same
thing) might have an effect.
