Center For Biological Diversity: Tell Etsy and eBay – Stop Hawking Wildlife Products

Nautilus-shell bolo ties. Taxidermized coyote paws and preserved bobcat hearts. Imperiled cacti in pots. Art and jewelry made from butterflies’ wings and threatened sharks’ teeth. The shells and skulls of turtles whose wild populations are rapidly dwindling. You can buy these things (and many others) on Etsy or eBay — and every sale helps push species closer to extinction. Despite the companies’ stated wildlife policies, sellers on Etsy and eBay rake in money on wildlife knickknacks, decor, clothing, and more. And the United States is a major consumer of these products. Call on these platforms to commit to end these sales. Act HERE.
