About this Petition Petition Letter

Scorpions are extremely valuable animals. They are very significant components to the environment and to the Earth's ecological communities. Despite the benefits these animals provide, scorpions are extensively exploited and persecuted.

One such example is the new drink called Scorpion Mezcal. Each bottle contains the body of a deceased scorpion. Scorpions often fall victim to being captured from their natural habitat and then killed and shipped out to support various trades (tourist markets, food/beverage industries, etc.). The scorpion mezcal drink is just one more example of the incessant exploitation that they face.

These animals have few advocates so I ask kindly that all members support this cause.

Concerns About Your Products

Dear Representative

I wish to convey my deep concern and disgust over your Scorpion Mezcal products. Scorpions are extremely valuable components to natural eco-systems. They act as bioindicators to environmental degradation, and play roles of both predators and prey to numerous other species. These animals do not deserve to be used as a gimmick or as props to sell products. The lack of respect for other life forms that is being displayed by your company staggers me. In my opinion it is a gross example of exploitation of the earth's natural resources. I urge you to remove the scorpions from your products. Until this is done I will not support your company, or any of it products, and will encourage others to do the same.

[Your name]
