Costco Is Selling Endangered Species of Fish. Boycott Costco!

Joseph Raglione
July 06, 2010
Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, if you think Costco is saving you money, think again! The fact is, they are selling endangered species as fast as possible and when those species go extinct, the price of Fish will Sky-Rocket! All the money you believe you have saved from buying Fish at Costco, won't be able to buy you Fish in the future! The same goes for all the other endangered Species we humans are threatening with extinction.

There are solutions, however, and that begins with conserving the Fish that continue to exist within our Oceans. We need legal international policies that limit the Fishing industry to sustainable catches. We need to subsidize Fishermen and employ them as Tourist Boat Captains who can earn the same profits they now make Fishing. We need to create inland Fish Ponds that breed healthy and happy and good tasting Fish. Trout, Bass, Pike, and many other local Fish can be produced in quantity once we stop polluting our lakes and rivers and streams with chemicals and human waste.

The following is a message from GreenPeace...>

Dear Joseph,

Don't let Costco get away with the wholesale destruction of our oceans. Download the toolkit today and make sure everyone in your community knows the truth!

We have the ability to do amazing things. Together, we convinced Trader Joe´s to become better stewards for the environment. And, at the recent International Whaling Commission meeting, Obama's team kept his promise to work to save whales thanks to huge amounts of public pressure.


Now it´s time put an end to wholesale ocean destruction.

Costco is selling more than just cashews and wine. In its freezers you´ll find endangered fish. Greenpeace surveys found that Costco continues to sell fifteen of the twenty-two red list seafood items.

Costco is destroying our oceans through its horrible seafood purchasing practices and leaving customers, like YOU, in the dark by hiding the truth.

We can change the way that Costco does business by spreading the word and making sure that people everywhere know the truth about their seafood.

The power is in our hands. Costco can and must do better!

Download the toolkit today and help us spread the word in your community!

For the oceans,

Casson Trenor

Oceans Campaigner

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
