On Tuesday, in another blow to animal fighters, we reached a settlement with one of the defendants in our federal lawsuit challenging the sale of two criminal animal fighting magazines on Amazon.com in violation of the federal Animal Welfare Act. The publishers of “The Gamecock” magazine agreed to permanently change the magazine’s format to exclude all ads for fighting animals, knives, and other illegal paraphernalia, and to stop selling the magazine on Amazon.com until it has demonstrated full compliance with federal law for one year.

Sadly, Amazon.com has vowed to fight on in the case, arguing that the First Amendment gives it the right to sell illegal animal fighting contraband. It wants to remain the only online retailer selling “The Feathered Warrior,” soon to be the sole remaining cockfighting trade publication sold on Amazon.com in violation of federal law. Tell Amazon.com what you think of its decision to continue profiting from illegal animal fighting. They cannot sell child pornography because it is against the law so why should they sell this crap!

Please boycott Amazon and pass along to your friends!

I have not bought anything from Amazon since last year when they refused to pull those 2 magazines after the Michael Vick incident.
Bunch of idiots!

Where can we go to learn about this and let Amazon.com know that we do not support them.

I received this in the HSUS email so I think you can find it on their website.
