Alibaba.com - not just sharks

So it turns out that Alibaba.com not only facilitates the trade of shark fins, but also Northern leopard cat skin, ivory, and turtle eggs. See the article by Wildlife Extra. Also, Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Foundation wrote a letter to Yahoo asking for an explanation as to why they would invest in a company that supports the trade of shark fins. To-date he has not received any response from Yahoo.
