TODAY: Join us in flooding three Maryland Sunsations stores with phone calls for the wild hermit crabs who are languishing in cages right now! Make a quick call to one of these stores using our sample script below and let them know that you won't be shopping there until they stop selling these complex animals as trinkets!

Pictured here are actual conditions documented at a Sunsations store -- hermit crabs crowded, piled on top of one another, and denied everything natural to them. A recent investigative video documented a dead hermit crab and broken limbs inside one Sunsations store. It's time to make sure Sunsations hears the 50,000 people who have signed this petition loud and clear!

Make a call TODAY to one of these Ocean City, Maryland, Sunsations (try another one if you get a busy signal) and tell them to stop selling delicate hermit crabs! Use our sample script below or your own polite message.

Store 1: 410-213-9070

Store 3: 410-250-7170

Sample script: "Hi, my name is ____ and I'm calling as a concerned citizen to urge you to stop selling wild hermit crabs. 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 dead hermit crabs, broken limbs, and crowded conditions in your stores. I will be getting my souvenirs elsewhere until you stop selling hermit crabs! Thank you."

Let us know how your call went by emailing contact@plightofthehermies.org. Thanks so much for your compassion!
