Fwd: Stop the sale of manta ray leather boots

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Emily Fisher, Oceana <wavemaker@oceana.org>

Dear Anne, Stop the sale of manta ray leather Tell the CEO of Alibaba.com to remove manta ray products from his site» A manta ray can live to be 40 years old—if it's not turned into a boot. These large, majestic fish are a favorite of divers lucky enough to see them, but they are also targeted by an unlikely foe: the leather industry. Tell Alibaba.com to stop selling manta ray products» Manta rays are disappearing from our oceans, in part because of fishing for their skin, gills, and cartilage. Despite the manta ray's threatened status, manta ray "leather" fetches a high price. We recently discovered that Alibaba.com, one of the world's largest commerce sites, sells boots and wallets made from rays. They should know better. Several years ago, Oceana activists joined other conservation groups to successfully petition Alibaba.com to stop selling shark products. We know they listen, so we're asking you to reach out to them again. A fancy wallet is not worth the price of an ocean without rays. Sign today to tell Alibaba.com CEO Jack Ma to stop profiting from the deaths of threatened manta rays» For the oceans, Emily Fisher Oceana     Oceana.org | Join | Contact Oceana | Privacy Policy Text JOIN to 50555 to sign up for Oceana text alerts.
