First off “The White House” answers/comments on petitions when they hit 100k signatures. NBC still has not commented at 80K. What does that say to you?
So today the killing of Vulnerable IUCN Red List Species will once again be glamorized. To celebrate the killing, NBC Sports Network, in their infinite wisdom have decided to live tweet (for you non tweeters, read "live running online commentary") during the show. The first individual volunteered for this received a less than stellar response (thank you folks) and pulled out. The new person is LJ Rader, please send him this tweet (http://goo.gl/m0q5iC). Assuming they do continue it will occur at from 9-10pm tonight (eastern US). Lets see who noisier, NBC or us?
This week, Melissa Cronin, The Dodo wrote a follow up article, check it out here: http://goo.gl/9FjAhV Also follow them here (https://twitter.com/melissa_cronin, https://www.facebook.com/thedodosite?fref=ts, https://twitter.com/dodo)
Now plagiarizing Ron Burgundy, I urge everyone to “Stay Classy”. Name calling, taunting etc. is not going to help us convince companies to stop advertising or for NBC to cancel the show. I have prepared some tweets below and some link to FB posts to share/post on company pages. Please get tweeting/sharing.

Finally
If you would like to send an email to the head of PR at Clorox (Kingsford): david.kargas@clorox.com
Keep it clean, keep it professional, and keep to the facts, for example:
“You are supporting a program that kills Vulnerable IUCN Red List Species of Shark by advertising on NBC’s Shark Hunters. I as well as 80K others ask you to stop. Please see the petition at change.org/cancelsharkhunters.”
Thanks for your continued support, lets keep the pressure up.
Best regards
AJ
