No more shark producs in Tesco Lotus Phuket!

To all shark friends….

A very good start of 2009…

it has been confirmed that Tesco Lotus Phuket/Thailand has finally removed all shark producs from there shelves!!! This sure does not take Sharks of the endangered list yet, but it is a rare step in the right direction!!!

Thanks to all who participated and a very big cheer for Michael Jennings (aka Mik) who started it all!

Happy diving in 2009!

    Good on ya!
    Way to go, but wished there would be a way to educate people, who buy sh… like that! Unfortunately there are too many thickheaded, ignorant people in this world, who still believe consuming such products might improve their (sex) life – very sad and silly creatures. :???:

    Unfortunately this was due to lack of demand, (encouraging), rather than Tesco’s ethical policy (disappointing).
