Stop Atlantic Coral Enterprise from Selling "Shark in Glass Bottle"

Atlantic Coral Enterprise in St. Augustine, Florida, USA, is a wholesale distributer.  Among the many items in their online catalog is "Juvenile Shark in Glass Bottle".  The catalog claims the following:  "These wholesale real juvenile shark in a glass jar with a white styrofoam base measure approximately 6-1/2 inches tall. These shark in bottle are great teaching references for science teachers and make great gifts for collectors of weird and unusual items.THESE JUVENILE SHARKS ARE FROM THE FISHING INDUSTRY.  SHARKS ARE A WORLDWIDE FOOD SOURCE.  BOTH MALES AND FEMALES ARE HARVESTED FOR FOOD.  THESE JUVENILE SHARKS DIED IN THE HARVESTING PROCESS. THEY WERE NOT KILLED TO PUT INTO BOTTLES!"
Atlantic Coral Enterprise further claims:   "All our merchandise has been cleared for legal entry into the U.S. by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Department and U.S. Customs. We have all required governmental licenses and permits." 

At Save Misty the Dolphin (http://savemistythedolphin.blogspot.com/) we believe that sharks are essential to the ocean environment.  As apex predators, they are indicators of the balance of the eco-system.  Without sharks, our marine eco-systems will collapse.  Shark populations worldwide are decreasing at alarming rates.  It is time to stand-up for Sharks.  Tell Atlantic Coral Enterprise to STOP SELLING SHARK IN A GLASS BOTTLE!
