more on that Amazon.com-selling-whale-meat story
It turns out the early reporting on Amazon selling whale meat (including some sourced from Japan’s Antarctic “research” expeditions) had real legs. The Guardian reports:
Environmental groups are claiming a major victory after the online retailer Amazon removed whale meat products from its site in Japan.
Amazon was accused of hypocrisy by the UK-based environmental investigation agency (EIA) after investigators found 147 whale products for sale on the site, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seattle-based company.
The products contravened the firm’s policy of refusing to advertise unlicensed or illegal wildlife products, including endangered species.
