I got this email today and was really shocked! I had no idea they sold this kind of stuff. Please check out the link and write to Amazon to stop supporting cruelty to animals. thank you. Please post in other related tribes.
Dear Fellow Doglover,
I hope you will join me in supporting this Humane Society of the
United States (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 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 take a few moments to ask Amazon to remove these
materials from its website. Here is a link for more information:

Tue, August 21, 2007 - 9:46 AMI posted it on my blog and on myspace. I wanted to make sure that it was legit, so I went to Amazon and did a search for "dog fighting" and sure as shit there it was, tons of stuff that they sell promoting it. -
