Last weekend, volunteers spoke up for imperiled wild hermit crabs by protesting once again at Sunsations -- this time at 25th St in Virginia Beach! As we peacefully held signs, we could see crabs languishing right inside in cramped, crowded conditions. Help them TODAY by leaving a polite but firm Facebook message for the company: bit.ly/msgSunsations!

Hermit crabs are wild animals who can live for 30 years in their natural habitat -- but at Sunsations, after being ripped from the wild, they are sold in crowded, barren cages and then sent home to tourists with little more than a plastic palm tree and some gravel. Some tourists have even reported finding broken limbs and crabs with no water available to them. It's time to make sure Sunsations hears the 50,000 people who have signed this petition loud and clear!

Sample: "Hi, I'm writing to urge you to stop selling wild hermit crabs as trinkets in your stores. These animals are ripped from the tropical seashore and sold in tiny cages where they will die in months instead of their 30-year natural lifespan. Shoppers have reported finding crowded conditions and even broken limbs in your stores. I will be getting my souvenirs elsewhere until you stop selling hermit crabs! Thank you."
