    Sure looks for real, its disgusting that Amazon would support this. Im going to write to them and enquire. If it is for real and they dont remove the item I will stop using my Kindle.

    I have posted a review on Amazon re this product and would ask all those who agree to do the same.

    Looks like it isn't available. I hope Amazon keeps it that way.

    It's disgusting. I hope that it was Amazon that took it down. Will publicise this and keep my eye on whether it does subsequently become available.

    Amazon got quite a bit of feedback over the recent 'thresher shark' meat sales - and the seller got lots of bad reviews/feedback. Keep up the pressure and things will change.

    I've said it before anybody that wants shark should catch it themselves with a knife (and as someone else added) while snorkeling. I've never done business with Amazon. I guess I never will now. Maybe this Obama character should consider getting the Fish and Wildlife dept to issue regulations making shark product importation into the US illegal.

    Added: Isn't it ironic that the US Fish and Wildlife just raided the Gibson guitar plant with armed agent; drop the guitar and backaway, over some wood exported from India, and here's Amazon selling shark fillets 3lb and yummy shark cakes. I still maintain that somehow the polarity of the universe got switched while we were sleeping.

    I've seen several questionable products on Amazon and protested many. That, combined with LONG delays (well past the "promised" delivery times) have me questioning whether I'll continue to use Amazon in the future. Why wait three weeks for a product I could have had the next day for a few dollars more?

    I'm wondering if this "not product available" stuff is Amazon's way of running "? ? products" up the flagpole without actually selling any to get a reaction in which case telling them what you think and spreading the word is something worth doing even more, especially in case.

    I sent in a complaint direct to Amazon as I am unsure if they look at customer reviews. I would urge others to do the same. Many thanks.
