Having problems with message search?
I have been an avid customer of Amazon.com for years, but recently chose to withhold my business from them when I learned about several ongoing boycotts against them based on different aspects of promotion of cruelty to animals. I thought some folks on this list might want to know about these initiatives. I don't really want to get into a discussion about 'censorship' here - I am all for free speech, but I also believe in balance and moderation in all things.
Let your conscience be your guide.

This is the first boycott I came across:
Note – the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine looks like a great organization –
Doctors and laypersons working together for compassionate and effective medical practice, research, and health promotion.
LOTS of good resources, vegan recipes, cookbooks, other books at their website at www.pcrm.org
the Humane Society has filed a lawsuit against Amazon:
Farm Sanctuary, the nation's leading farm animal protection organization, is calling
on the public to boycott Amazon.com for carrying and distributing foie gras products
originating from the notorious Elevages Perigord, a production facility currently under
investigation for extreme acts of animal cruelty.http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/07-17-2007/0004627061&EDATE online pledge to boycott Amazon:http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/951235109
