    Potentially illegal import/export/sale of IUCN Red List Endangered Sharks species

    How distasteful....

    Real Stuffed Sharks - Shark Mounts

    Illegal export of IUCN 'Red List' endangered shark corpses to the USA. A Florida-based company selling stuffed sharks exported from the Philippines.

    Please spread this link.

    If based in the USA, please investigate the legality of this. Here in the Philippines the government has been trying to end this trade.

    If really incensed, why not send an email to the company concerned...

    Thanks!
