Costco Ends (Some) Endangered Fish Sales.

Greenpeace announced victory in their campaign to end Costco’s sale of endangered fish.  Costco has agreed to eliminate sales of 12 species of endangered fish as well as work with the World Wildlife Fund to develop more sustainable sources.

Costco agreed to change after 100,000 people sent online messages to company demanding an end to the sales of red listed seafood. Proof that speaking out for animals can really change things.

Costco should really eliminate ALL sales of fish, not just 12 endangered species.  With scientists estimating that all species of fish will be extinct by 2050, major retailers like Costco need to do a little more.  

If you are worried about the health of the oceans or the prevention of animal cruelty, it’s best not to buy seafood at all.
