eBay Alaskan Wolf Hunt auctions

Dear Margaret Whitman:

On March 25th, 2001, an eBay.com user posted an auction to sell a "Guided Alaskan Wolf Hunt." The auctions

(http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1127429275
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1131653454)

offered a five day trip guided by Castle Rock Outfitters in Healy Alaska. The auction stated "Hunting is by rifle only and the hunter may take up to 5 wolves on this trip!!"

We find this kind of offer sickening, and a poor reflection on eBay. We ask that eBay do the right thing and make a public press release stating that it will no longer allow animal hunts to be auctioned on its site.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned.
