The Internet retail giant Amazon.com has responded to a public outcry against whale meat sales on its Japanese website by removing more than 145 food products from the site overnight.
The products made from the meat of whales, dolphins and porpoises were removed within 24 hours after a campaign launched yesterday by the Environmental Investigation Agency and Humane Society International quickly gathered worldwide momentum.
Tens of thousands of people took action via Twitter, Facebook and HSI's online petition and thousands more sent protest emails to Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of the Seattle-based business. (ens-newswire.com)
