Do you buy books or other merchandise through Amazon? If so, please consider helping the Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinc of Concord, NC. All you have to do is access Amazon through their website- www.cabarrusspayneuter.org With your pruchase, up to 5% of the proceeds will be donated to the clinic in the hopes of ending overpopulation and euthenasia of homeless animals.

**Please note, in order for the clinic to get the funds, you must go through the clinic's site to get to Amazon.

Thank you for all your help!!

While I'm all for fund raising and anything that helps shelters, I'm opposed to supporting Amazon.com until it stops selling materials that promote animal cruelty.
Don't mean to hamper any fund raising efforts, I'm guessing you weren't aware of this issue - I just found out today.
Best of luck

Tell Amazon.com To Stop Profiting from Animal Fighting

Did you know that Amazon.com is peddling materials that are both illegal and cruel to animals? It's true: Amazon.com is selling materials that promote cockfighting and dogfighting, and The Humane Society of the United States has been pressuring the company to remove these materials for many months.

Yesterday, the online retail giant told us that two dogfighting DVDs would be pulled from the site. This is a win for the dogs abused and killed in dogfights, but in the past Amazon.com has removed similar videos only to offer them for sale again later.

Amazon.com must make a clear commitment to keeping all promotions of illegal animal fighting off their virtual shelves.

Now, Amazon.com must also cease its unsavory profiteering from The Gamecock and The Feathered Warrior, magazines that sell illegal animal-fighting paraphernalia and call attention to cockfighting venues. These magazines are the glue that holds together the criminal cockfighting industry in this country, and Amazon.com is their main internet subscription tool.

Today, please join us in telling Amazon.com that it's time for a zero-tolerance policy against the violent spectacle of animal fighting for human amusement. Call Amazon.com right now at 206-266-1000 and demand that they stop collecting blood money from this exploitation of animals.

This is not an issue of freedom of speech or materials that are merely offensive, although they are that. The facts are clear: Interstate distribution of materials that promote animal fighting is a violation of federal law. This week, The HSUS filed suit against Amazon.com and its suppliers to uphold that law.

Tell Amazon that honorable retailers must refrain from profiting from criminal activities.

You can also use Amazon.com's web form to make your point. Then, please let us know you called and ask your friends and family to make the call against animal fighting, too.

Thank you for taking action and for all you do for animals.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States
