The massive e-Commerce retailer Amazon.com seems to be carrying Shark Fin Soup via a third-party vendor.

Shark Fin Soup is a product of the horrible practices used to harvest fins and is subject to a lot of controversy at the moment.

Whilst it is unlikely Amazon.com know that they are directly selling the product, there are a number of actions that people can do to help stop Amazon.com selling this product if you believe that the practice is wrong.

What you can do:

1. Leave feedback at Amazon’s product page for Dragonfly Shark Fin Soup
2. Send e-mail to Pacific Rim Gourmet at customerservice@pacificrim-gourmet.com and write a letter of protest to:
   Pacific Rim Gourmet
   75-5660 Kopiko Street, Suite C7-210
   Kailua-Kona, HI 96740
3. Write to Amazon.com at Advantage Customer Service (advantage@amazon.com) and Investor Relations (ir@amazon.com) complaining about them carrying the product.
4. Spread the word through email, forum posts and blogs
5. Boycott Amazon.com until they comply
