Outside an Albertson's location in Costa Mesa Southern California. This store sells shark meat in its sea food department even through the EDF and IUCN feature it as an ECO-WORST choice

Tell Supervalu to STOP SELLING SHARKS!

Target:
Supervalu INC and all grocery chain affiliates
Sponsored by: 
For the past month Oceanic Defense has attempted to assist Supervalu (The largest grocery chain in the USA) in the removal of shark from their sea food counters. We have provided more than enough evidence to suggest that the selling of a globally depleted species does not show reasonable responsibility of a prudent environmentally conscious company.

The Environmental Defense Fund and the IUCN lists Thresher Shark as an ECO-WORST choice due to dangerous levels of mercury and the fact that all shark species are under threat of global collapse.

To this date, Supervalu has ignored all our requests. Show them what they are doing is NOT RIGHT. Sign this petition and boycott all Supervalu and affiliate stores until sharks are removed indefinitely.

We the undersigned respectfully request the removal of all shark products from any and all affiliate stores under the Supervalu brand across the USA.

Your organization has been supplied with enough information that any prudent environmentally conscious company would immediate remove such items.

We will continue to promote your lack of due care for a globally endangered species as well as promote a complete boycott of your stores until such time that all shark meat and shark related products are removed indefinitely.

We appreciate your time to address this issue and look forward to a quick resolution.

I am very disappointed that such a major chain can ignore the glaring evidence that has been presented to them. Not only are they supporting shark fishing, they are putting their customers at risk. Mercury poisoning is not a small thing, and this species of shark has dangerously high levels. The words ECO-WORST should say something to them.

I will NOT shop at Supervalu or its affiliates if it continues to sell sharks. I shop in the States several times a year, and will avoid this chain. I have many contacts and friends throughout the States, and will encourage them to not shop at Supervalu.

Please stop selling shark. These dynamic, stunning creatures are essential to our fragile ecosystem. Buy selling shark you are contributing to their demise

I will not shop in your store and will advise others not too
