La compañía Canine Caviar vende un producto
elaborado con cartílago de tiburón triturado en forma de huesos.
Esto significa que no solo esta contribuyendo a
la extinción de los tiburones ya en peligro , si no también esta
envenenando a las mascotas de las personas que compran este producto
ya que los tiburones acumulan elementos tóxicos en sus cartílagos
como es el mercurio.
La empresa ha recibido ya numerosos emails de
organizaciones relacionadas con el medio ambiente y con la
protección de especies en peligro de extinción instándola al cese de
la fabricación y venta de este producto.

Las tres especies de tiburón utilizadas en este
producto han sido declaradas por la ( IUCN ) como vulnerables a la
extinción. Dichos tiburones son de crecimiento lento, los machos
tardan entre 7 y 13 años para llegar a su edad de madurez y las
hembras entre 8 y 14 años, lo que los hace extremadamente
vulnerables a una pesca excesiva.
La empresa alega la inclusión del cartílago de
tiburón en su comida para animales por sus cualidades anti-inflamatorias
y anti-cancerigenas, cuando nunca se ha podido comprobar dichas
cosas y desestimando la realidad comprobada de que el tiburón
acumula unos niveles de contaminación de metales en sus zonas
cartilaginosas y en especial sus aletas. De todos es conocido el
hecho de que la sopa de tiburón mata todos los años a mas personas
que el mismo tiburón.

Dear Canine
Caviar,
I am writing to urge you to remove Great White Chews from
your product line.
As a nature and animal lover, I care about the environment
and always make my purchasing decisions accordingly.
I am disturbed and alarmed that you advertise thresher shark
cartilage as dog bones on your website. Thresher sharks like
most species of shark, are being over fished and face
extinction. The biggest enemy to sharks is man. That's why
we must now do all we can to preserve them.
With a simple google search, immediately this information
pops up: “All three thresher shark species have been listed
as vulnerable to extinction by the World Conservation Union
(IUCN). Thresher sharks are very slow to mature, males
reaching sexual maturity between 7 and 13 years of age and
females only between 8 and 14 years, which makes them highly
vulnerable to overfishing.”
Another extremely important issue is that shark products
contain high levels of mercury. So the dog bones you are
selling are unhealthy for any dogs. When browsing your
website, I see statements, “Our true Holistic diets consider
all aspects of your pet’s health and nutrition”, “Our pet
foods are on the list of veterinary alternatives” and
“Nutrition is and always will be our number one priority.”
If you are serious about these statements, then you will not
sell a product that you know is unhealthy for your
customer’s pets.
Finally, the page where the Great White Chews are advertised
contains several lies. Shark cartilage is not an anti-cancer
supplement. Sharks get cancer as humans do, and there is no
scientific proof that shark cartilage has anti-inflammatory
properties or would improve joint health.
I find that with these facts, I have no choice but to warn
my family and friends (including those on MySpace, Facebook
and Twitter), not to buy from your company or the companies
you supply. Since there are so many lies on that one page,
you cannot expect people to trust any of your other products.
Only when you take responsibility and prove to be
environmentally engaged and thus remove this unethical,
unhealthy and misleading product from your product line,
would I be willing to promote your company and products to
other people again.
Regards,
( Tu nombre y pais ) |
