i enjoy doing business with you(amazon) very much.
if you continue to sell magazines, books or any other items that advocate the cruel treatment of animals you will force me to re-think my buying options.
i believe that continuing to sell these items is immoral and unethical.
i will be following the progress of this story in the news and on the internet.
sincerely,
(my full name and email was here =) when i get pissed i throw in my middle name for good measure)

here is the response:
Thank you for writing to Amazon.com with your concerns about our
product selection.
As a retailer, our goal is to provide customers with the broadest
selection possible so they can find, discover, and buy any item they
might be seeking. That selection includes some items which many
people may find objectionable. Therefore, the items offered on our
web site represent a wide spectrum of opinions on a variety of topics.
Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to sell certain titles
because we believe their message is objectionable. Therefore, we will
continue to make controversial works available in the United States
and everywhere else, except where they are prohibited by law. We also
allow readers, authors, and publishers to express their views freely
about these titles and other products we offer on our web site.
However, Amazon.com does not endorse any opinions expressed by
individual authors, musical artists, or filmmakers.
We value all feedback from our customers, and thank you again for
taking the time to send us your comments about this issue. We hope
you will allow us to continue to serve you.

they would have a point except that we are talking about the torture of living things so the censorship argument doesn't hold up.
so now how to make it illegal... |
