Amazon Sleeps with Dog and Cockfighters

    I only discovered this today. Call me naive, but I had no idea Amazon actively sells dog and cockfighting materials on its website. The Humane Society is in a struggle to enforce the law - namely, making it a felony to ship publications containing "commercial speech" for the purpose of promoting or encouragiong animal fighting.

    I am a long time Amazon buyer and seller, and I am disgusted. My over $1000 cart has been cleared until this crap leaves the site. Apparently Amazon is fighting it out with the Humane Society in federal court to avoid the already-passed law against such business activity. If you want to take part in the Humane Society's campaign, go to Humane Society - tell Amazon to end its support of animal fighting.

    I have two labs, two loyal pals, asleep in peace. If you feel as I do, thought you should know.

    Best,

    Paul
