Fedex ships live cetaceans for the captive entertainment industry and most recently assisted Dolphinaris Arizona in transporting live dolphins to their facility for a life of captivity, swim-with-the-dolphin programs and to be groped and pawed at by the public. http://www.cbs5az.com/story/33265050/dolphins-shipped-to-the-valley-via-fedex

Captivity for cetaceans is inherently cruel. They have evolved to be far ranging and deep diving, they have superior intelligence, self-awareness and are capable of empathy and compassion. Dolphins have not evolved to live in a tank void of anything natural. Even if they were born in captivity, a tank can never adequately provide for their needs.

Fedex is also a willing participant in the shark finning industry, the cruel and barbaric and many times, illegal practice of catching sharks, slicing off their fins while they still live and discarding the body to sink to the bottom of sea and suffocate slowly or be eaten. An estimated 100 million sharks are killed each year http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2013/03/01/100-million-sharks-killed-every-year-study-shows-on-eve-of-international-conference-on-shark-protection/

Fedex cannot tell if the fins they transport are legal, if the fins are from endangered or protected species but they transport them thereby contribute to this cruel practice.

Just because captivity and in some case, shark finning is legal, doesn't mean it is morally right or that we should do it.

We are asking that Ebay, the largest online auction world wide stop offering Federal Express as a shipping option until they stop shipping live cetaceans for entertainment purposes and shark fins.
