The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) have produced a report that alleges that endagered species are slipping through online auction sites, thus bring those spiecies closer to extiction by accelerating the trade. The international group has started a campaign to get Ebay to better regulate their auctions here.

(Thanks to fellow Web Jounalist, Wendy Miller of the Sex Worker Resource and Activism Journal WHORE, for pointing out an error in presintation I made in reporting this report this report.)

No offence to you, but this group your writing about is Bull shit.

Don't take Ms Miller's comments as gospel, she loathes animal rights groups.

Whether the group is bullshit or not does not matter. The trade is probably still happening. I just hope that the people who are involved in it understand all the responsibilities they are undertaking. When mister tiger gets pissed off at you and secides to bite your leg off, don't come bitching, it's TODF(their own damned fault).
